HOW IT WORKS
From one sentence to a premiere
Invent
A film that does not exist, in one sentence — and the one character the whole trailer is built on, held the same in every shot. Lessons 1–3.
Cut
Eight shots on one board, each framed wide, close or over the shoulder — then given a length. Three fast, one slow, and the same pictures turn electric. Lessons 4–5.
Premiere
A narrator who says almost nothing, a title where a trailer puts it, and somebody to watch it and tell them what it was about. Lessons 6–7.

That is the first step — not yet a thirty-second trailer for a film they invented, with their voice on it. The whole course is 7 lessons for $9.99, and your $1 counts toward it.

WHAT THEY WORK TOWARD
A thirty-second trailer for a film they invented, with their voice on it
Hooks, suspense and pacing. They invent a film that does not exist, then cut a thirty-second trailer for it - and learn the rule real trailers keep breaking.

TAKE A LOOK INSIDE
One clear step at a time.
7 lessons. Open any lesson below to see what they will do.
01Never Show The EndingInvent a film that does not exist, and make the one shot the whole trailer is built on.
A trailer is not a short film. It is a question - and the whole craft is knowing what to leave out. Today you make the one shot your trailer is built on.
They finish with: Your film in one sentence, and the one shot the whole trailer is built on
02The ShapeFind the six beats almost every trailer shares, then write your own six.
Six beats, in the same order, in almost every trailer ever made. Once you have seen it you cannot un-see it - and today you write yours.
They finish with: Your six beats, written down - and the ordinary-world shot the whole thing starts on
03Show The Door, Not The RoomPractise the hardest habit in the craft: stopping one second before the interesting part.
The hardest habit in the craft: cutting away one second before the interesting part. Today you make two shots that refuse to explain themselves.
They finish with: Two shots that make somebody ask a question you never answer
04Eight ShotsPut the whole trailer on one board, in order, and find the beat you have no picture for.
Stop planning. Today the whole trailer goes on one board, in order, and you find out which of your six beats you have no picture for.
They finish with: Eight shots, in order, on one board
05Three Fast, One SlowGive every shot a length, and watch the same pictures turn from dull to electric.
The same eight pictures, in the same order, can be dull or electric. The only difference is how long each one stays on screen - and today you decide.
They finish with: Your trailer, cut - every shot given a length, and a runtime you chose
06The Voice That Says Almost NothingCast a narrator and write the three sentences they are allowed to say.
A trailer narrator gets about three sentences. Today you cast yours, and find out why the most famous line in film history is now a joke.
They finish with: Your narrator's voice, and the three sentences they will say
07Title, Button, PremiereName the film, and let somebody who knows nothing about it tell you what it was about.
The name, the last strange shot after it, and then the only test that matters: somebody who knows nothing watches it, and tells you what your film is about.
They finish with: The finished trailer, and somebody who has watched it and told you what it was about
It plays in the browser the moment they press go. We then render the full 1080p trailer with the narrator voice they cast in Lesson 6 and email you a link to watch and download — the same trailer, in a file you can keep.

TOOLS, SAFETY & PRIVACY
Designed for kids. Clear information for parents.
- One family account, set up by you.
You pay, then choose a password. Your child signs in with a first name and, if you want, an age range you pick from a short list. Never a surname, date of birth, school, address or photograph.
- You can see everything they make.
Their pictures, notes and projects are in their portfolio, open to you whenever you are signed in. Ask us and we will show you everything we hold, delete all of it, or stop collecting more.
- Every description is checked, twice.
What your child types is run through a safety filter before it reaches the image tool, and the picture is checked again when it comes back. Pictures are only ever shown to a signed-in member of your family — a link on its own is not enough.
- No account with any AI company.
The tools run on our server, on our account. Your child never signs up with an AI provider, never agrees to anyone else’s terms, and nothing they type is attached to an identity outside CreatorKids.
- Nothing is used to train anything.
What they type and make is kept so a person can review it for safety. It is not used for advertising, profiling, or training any model. No advertising cookies and no third-party trackers run anywhere your child goes.
- Kept while you are with us, then gone.
Creations and portfolio stay while your account is open and for 30 days after you close it. Safety logs are kept for 12 months. If we ever change what we collect, we email you first.
The full detail, in plain words: our privacy policy.
A FEW THINGS PARENTS ASK
Good questions. Clear answers.
Does my child need any experience with AI?
No. Each lesson shows what to do before asking them to try it, and they type descriptions in their own words. The tools are inside the lesson, with nothing to set up.
Will my child finish the whole project in Lesson 1?
No. Lesson 1 is the first building block: they finish it with your film in one sentence, and the one shot the whole trailer is built on. A thirty-second trailer for a film they invented, with their voice on it is what the whole 7-lesson course works toward, and it comes together in the final lesson.
Is the $1 lesson a subscription?
No. It is one payment of $1 for Lesson 1, yours to keep and replay. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel. Only the membership renews, monthly, and only if you choose it.
Do we need other AI tools or paid accounts?
No. The guided AI tools and activities used in this course are inside CreatorKids. You do not need a separate AI subscription. Included image allowances apply; they are not unlimited.
Are there limits on how many pictures they can make?
Yes, and they are sized for the course. Lesson 1 includes 15 pictures. The full course includes 100, which never expire. Membership includes 120 a month across the whole library. Running out never takes the course away — only making new pictures pauses, and you can top up from the parent page.
Can we download and share the finished trailer?
Yes. In Lesson 7 it plays in the browser straight away. We then render the full 1080p trailer with the narrator voice they cast in Lesson 6 and their title card, and email you a link to watch and download. It is theirs to show anyone you choose.
Can we use it on an iPad or tablet?
Yes. It runs in the web browser with nothing to install, on a laptop, Chromebook or tablet; a larger screen gives the activities more room.
Does a parent need to sit with them?
You handle the purchase and the two-minute set-up. After that the lessons are written for a child to follow on their own, at the pace of the video, with a trusted adult nearby for questions. Some activities invite a family conversation, and the end of the course is something they will want to show you.
What happens if we buy the full course later?
Your $1 buys Lesson 1 to keep and replay. Nothing renews automatically. If you choose the full course later, that payment is credited and the upgrade is $8.99.
Which purchase is right for our family?
Start with one lesson for $1, buy this whole course for $9.99, or choose library access for $19.99/month. The first two are one-time purchases. Membership renews monthly until you cancel.
Is there an annual membership?
Yes. The yearly option is $149/year for the same library access. You can compare it with the monthly option on the membership page. Membership access continues through your paid period if you cancel; separately purchased courses remain yours to revisit.
Does my child need to finish on a schedule?
No. Lessons are self-paced. Pause for an activity, replay an explanation, and come back when it suits your family. A course you buy outright is yours to keep; membership access lasts while subscribed.
