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.
For this project I plan to bring to life the AI generated story that was produced for our short fiction exercise. This tells a story mostly through the conversation between a stranded man in space and the AI system aboard the escape pod that he is confined in. This scenario provides ample opportunity for a variety of shots that can bring to life both the man and machine trapped together and the vast emptiness of space that surrounds them.
For the visual style, I have high hopes of uploading anime clips from the 80s-90s and seeing the generated responses to prompts using them as reference, but this will take some experimentation.
Influence will be drawn from some very visually stunning works like Royal Space Force and and other iconic series from that time period. I am very interested to see if I can upload a standard dialogue cutscene from one of these series and attempt to replicate it using Runway in order to quickly establish a scene that would fit this story.
For audio, I plan to use a program similar to ones used in our in class exercise in order to quickly provide dialogue.
By having it generate content based off of small portions of dialogue I hope to be able to capture the proper inflection needed in order to provide weight to the essential element of delivering the story, the conversation between the AI and stranded man.
Sound effects and music can be either sampled or rendered using AI and I plan to experiment with both options to find the right fit for this project.
