What are the most common questions people ask about HAA or your classes?

Program & Technology

Do I need prior experience in filmmaking or AI?

Not at all. The program is designed for beginners. We'll teach you everything you need to know, from basic concepts to advanced AI tools. Your passion and curiosity are the most important things you can bring.

What AI tools will I learn?

You'll get hands-on experience with a suite of professional-grade AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Kling, Suno, and ElevenLabs, among others, learning how to use them as a creative co-pilot.

Do I need to pay for expensive software?

No. We provide access to all necessary AI software and accounts as part of your tuition. There are no hidden fees.

Can the work I create be used commercially (e.g., for my business or a client)?

Yes, you retain ownership of your creative work. However, it's always best practice to review the specific licensing terms of any AI platform used, especially for major commercial projects.

Is the program only about technical skills, or do we cover the creative aspect?

Our program strongly emphasizes both technical proficiency and creative expression. We believe AI is a powerful co-pilot, and we focus on integrating these tools to enhance your storytelling and artistic vision.
