About us
The world of AI video and image generation is moving fast. New tools are dropping every month, the results are getting remarkable, and the best way to keep up is to learn alongside others.
This is in-person meetup in Dublin for anyone who wants to get hands-on with AI video tools. No prior experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
We explore tools like ComfyUI, Higgsfield, Figma Weave, and Kling AI, among others as the space evolves. Each meetup is a mix of short demos, work-in-progress shares, and a show & tell where members bring whatever they have been making: short films, architecture visualisations, commercial concepts, music videos, or just a weird experiment that didn't quite work.
What to expect:
Tool walkthroughs and practical tips you can use straight away.
Hands-on testing of the latest video and image generation models: comparing outputs, pushing limits, and figuring out what each one is actually good at.
Members sharing real projects and what they learned building them.
Open discussion on workflows, prompting techniques, and what's worth trying.
A friendly room where beginner questions are as welcome as advanced ones.
Whether you are a designer, filmmaker, developer, architect, or just someone who saw an AI-generated video and thought I want to know how that works ; you'll fit right here.

AI Hybrid Filmmaking: "Dublin Vampire Chronicle" Screening & Discussion
Hi everyone,
Our next meetup is on Saturday 14 November at the IFI Café, 2pm.
This time I’m showing my new AI hybrid short film, Dublin Vampire Chronicle: See You at the Church.
"Starving and banned from Dublin city, a vampire sneaks back to hunt, and finds the only sober man in the street: a young missionary who wants to save his soul."
What makes it “hybrid”?
I went out to Temple Bar on a Saturday night and recorded the photos and audio myself. Then I built the film from that material using AI tools.
The workflow:
- Capture: Fujifilm X-H2S for stills, TASCAM FR-AV4 + Sennheiser MKH 8020 for location audio
- Generation: GPT Image 2.5, Seedance 2.0 and ElevenLabs voices, run through ComfyUI and Higgsfield
- Post: DaVinci Resolve for edit and grade, REAPER for the sound mix
- Script and prompts developed with Claude
You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB3WkAy5z6c
Let’s talk about:
- Is the film industry heading toward hybrid workflows? Where does real footage end and AI begin, and does that line matter?
- Is there hostility toward AI filmmaking, and why? Jobs, consent, training data, “AI slop”. Let’s hear every side.
- Show and tell: Have you seen or made an AI project worth noticing? Bring it on your phone or laptop.
Everyone is welcome, from curious beginners to working filmmakers. Sceptics are welcome too, since they’ll make the second topic much better.
