Howdy Storytellers 🤠!
We have an announcement. We all know the trend of companies sharing fake product announcements for April Fool’s Day.
Well we have a real product to show you today and it may just be the most wild experiment yet in helping you all enter the frontier of AI filmmaking.
After months of blood, sweat, and an uncomfortable amount of time thinking about roosters, we are proud to present the world's first — and possibly only — AI filmmaking guide starring a cock.
Introducing: Woody the Cock: A Handy Guide to AI Filmmaking
Yes. That is the real title. No, we are not sorry.
Meet Woody. He has a very big dream. To turn his story into a movie with AI, and in this short, bite-sized read you’ll be able to learn the principles of AI filmmaking and maybe laugh a bit 😂.
Woody the Cock is a fully illustrated picture book for grown-ups that walks you through the exact foundations of AI filmmaking using the Movie Machine. Every page is a real lesson. Every lesson is genuinely useful. The delivery mechanism is a proud plump rooster with a director's clapperboard and absolutely zero self-doubt.
You could even say he's... cocky.
Here's what Woody will teach you:
The Chain of AI Filmmaking— photo becomes start frame, start frame becomes movie. Break one link and it all falls apart.
The Reference Image — every character needs one perfect photo, fully exposed, face forward, isolated background and all.
The Importance of Angles — one angle was never enough. The AI needs every position to capture your scenes properly.
The Magic of Prompting— different words open different doors. Choose on purpose.
The AI Filmmaking Mindset — AI isn't a calculator. It explores a whole universe every time. Same prompt. Two videos. Both different. That's normal.
The Right Way to Shoot — far away feels lonely. Up close feels intimate. One verb per shot. Too much at once breaks everything.
The Hard Truth — it doesn't matter how it looks. It matters how it feels.
Every single one of these lessons is something we teach inside the Movie Machine Masterclass (you can take it for free HERE). We just never thought a rooster would explain them better than we could.
Is this an April Fools joke?
Honestly? A little. The cover has a cock on it. The title has a cock in it. Several page headings contain the word cock in contexts that will make you either laugh out loud or quietly close the book depending on who is sitting next to you.
But the content? Completely real. Completely useful. If you are a beginner with the Movie Machine — or if you have been struggling to get consistent results — Woody will sort you out.
Because at the end of the day, Woody's message is the same as ours:
You just need a story and the courage to be the cock who tells it.
And if anyone asks why you have a picture book about a rooster on your desk, just tell them you're a filmmaker.
They'll understand eventually.

P.S. Woody would like you to know that he is available for keynotes, workshops, and barnyard consultations. His rates are reasonable. He accepts corn.
P.P.S You can use the Movie Machine HERE and turn your story into a movie. Please, just don’t make your cock the star. Woody would get very insecure!
