01The film

A real film. A complete production breakdown.

Road to Ahoy wasn't made from a single magic prompt. It was built shot by shot, through visual research, character and location sheets, keyframes, motion direction, corrections and post-production. The toolkit opens up that process so you can study it and adapt it to your own films.

The final teaser

Watch the film first.

This is the finished teaser of Road to Ahoy, a commissioned film for a paying client, made in five days. The handbook takes it apart shot by shot: the sheets, the keyframes, the prompts and every fix along the way.

Figures from the Road to Ahoy production.

Commissioned production

Not just AI experiments. Real commercial productions.

Road to Ahoy was a commissioned AI film created for a paying client. The production was completed in five days, from character design and cinematic keyframes to animation and final editing.

This toolkit documents the actual workflow behind that project, showing how these techniques can be applied to professional filmmaking, branded content and client productions.

Made by a filmmaker, not a prompt marketplace.

Scrambled is made by a professional filmmaker from the Netherlands with 20 years of experience in the film industry, working alongside 20 independent creative professionals in a shared workspace.

08FAQ

Before you buy.

Straight answers about what is included, what is not, and how delivery works.

Something else? hello@scrambledai.online

What exactly am I buying?

A downloadable toolkit, available immediately: the handbook How I Make AI Films (the complete Road to Ahoy breakdown), Part 2 of the handbook (the Sacrifice Day trailer campaign), the Viral Susan Guide, 170+ real project prompts, a custom Claude AI Film Director skill and an installation guide. It also includes a free bonus video, a step-by-step walkthrough from viral idea to finished video, sent by email when it's ready. One payment, no subscription to Scrambled.

What is the difference between the toolkit and the Viral Susan Guide?

The Complete AI Film Production Toolkit is for cinematic AI films for paying clients: both handbooks, 170+ prompts, the Claude skill, the installation guide and the Viral Susan Guide. The Viral Susan Guide is only the AI video transfer workflow behind my viral social videos, for EUR 20. Buy the toolkit and the guide is already included.

Is this a course or a book?

It is primarily a real-film production handbook and resource bundle. The Viral Susan Guide adds a step-by-step PDF on how I made my viral AI videos.

When do I get the bonus video?

I'm making a video that takes you step by step from finding a viral video idea to the finished video. It is included free with the Viral Susan Guide and with the toolkit. It is still in production and has no release date yet. When it's ready, you receive it by email at the address you used at checkout, at no extra cost.

Do I need experience with AI filmmaking?

Basic familiarity with image and video generation helps. The handbook teaches my process with real examples, but it is not a beginner's guide to every third-party app.

Which tools do I need?

The source project used Claude, Nano Banana Pro, Seedance 2.5 and Higgsfield. Access, availability and charges for those tools are separate from this product. The included Claude skill requires a compatible Claude account and workflow.

Is a Claude subscription included?

No. The toolkit includes a skill and instructions, not a subscription or generation credits.

Can I use the ideas for paid client projects?

The toolkit is meant for learning the techniques and adapting them to your own creative or commercial work. Copying, redistributing or reselling the original files, prompts or skill is not permitted. See the license section of the terms.

How do I receive the files?

After successful payment, the checkout provider gives you a download page and sends a receipt or download email, according to its checkout workflow.

Will the prompts work with every new model?

AI models and interfaces change. The prompts capture real settings and a tested workflow at the time of production. There is no guarantee of compatibility or identical results with future model versions.

Is there a physical book?

No. Everything in the toolkit is a digital download.

Are there refunds?

All sales are final. You receive the complete handbook, prompts and skill the moment you pay, and a digital download can't be handed back. If a file is faulty or not as described, we fix it, replace it or refund you. See the refund policy.

Can I download the files again?

The checkout provider's receipt email or order page may offer a new download link. If you lose access to your files, email hello@scrambledai.online with your order details.

How can I get help?

Email hello@scrambledai.online for order and download issues. Personal coaching and prompt support are not included.

The filmmaking is in the details.
