Blog Prompt: Post a paragraph summary description of your story/moment that you will turn into a series of shots and then compile into a video sequence. Write another paragraph that describes the visual style and what you imagine the soundtrack to include: voices, sound effects, music.
Paragraph “In the heart of the vast, uncharted waters of Aquarius, Luma, a brilliant marine technologist, finds herself at the forefront of a critical mission: to maintain the delicate balance between the burgeoning underwater technology and the rich tapestry of marine life. Aquarius, a marvel of modern science, is a testament to humanity’s ingenuity—a submerged world where AI and biotechnology have intertwined with the ocean’s ecosystems to create a living, breathing underwater utopia. Smart-Reefs pulsate with digital life, cybernetic marine creatures swim alongside their organic counterparts, and AI-controlled environmental systems regulate the health of this underwater paradise.”
Visual Style:
For the visual style of Aquarius, I prompted my ChatGPT world with the following: “Will you generate 10 photos in 16:9 to portray this story in sequence, and use lots of blues, purples, and bright colors to make the marine animals pop, but give them a cinematic look so the pictures appear professionally taken by a DSLR?” Then I prompted, “With this story, generate 5 more photos in 16:9 with neon colors of sea creatures and beautiful blue and purple water. I want photos that glow.” Overall, I really liked the photos! I do have some I did not choose because they did not achieve the overall effect I was going for. As for the sound, I wanted it in a documentary style, which is why I chose Daniel with Eleven Labs which gives it a Discovery Channel feel. Then, I wanted to go for a binaural beat sound for the background music that plays different relaxing frequencies. I wanted it to evoke the feeling of a calm world, mirroring the floating sensation you experience when underwater.
