Carrick – Blog Post 4 (ChatGPT Cinema)
ChatGPT story summary for AI Cinema project.
‘A young child sits in a warm, dreamlike space, eyes full of wonder as their parent places a single ornament on a tiny sapling. The ornament catches the light—a symbol of hope, potential, and expectation. The child watches, mesmerized, as the sapling sways but stands tall.
Time flows. The child, now slightly older, moves through life with optimism. The sapling’s growth interweaves with their journey, stretching upward as the child stumbles through small failures—a missed assignment, a lost race, a moment of hesitation. Each setback adds weight, but the child keeps going.
The warmth that surrounded them fades but never fully disappears, a quiet presence behind the growing cold. The sapling bends under the weight of the ornament, its branches trembling. The child faces growing isolation—their mistakes snowball, and then, something unspoken breaks them. Their friends leave. They are alone.
The sapling collapses, burdened beyond its strength. The world, once soft, turns stark and still. The child stares at the fallen tree, expression unreadable. Then—a shift. A choice.
With quiet resolve, they kneel beside the sapling. They pour water at its base, brush dirt from its fragile roots. The ornament remains, heavier than before, but the child stays.
The final shot pulls away—the child in a fetal squat beside the tree, just watching. The world is dim, but a subtle warmth lingers. Even after everything, they still try to keep the promise.’
This was the summary for the first idea I had for the AI project. It has since been changed to an idea that was not made using ChatGPT.
Lyndsey – One Day in 30 Seconds
Visited Leavenworth for the first time this weekend. I had so many other shots I did not include because I wanted the 30-second challenge. I have a personal copy for myself that’s around 3 minutes! Did I add royalty-free music because it fits the vibe perfectly? Yes. Remove points if you must!
Rylan Eisenhauer DTC491 One Day in 30 Seconds
This was shot on Friday my day off from school. I hung out with my best friend Landon at his place and later met up with some other friends at Round One. We got back and played some Fortnite, went home to watch a movie before going to bed.
As sporadic as the video may be, it almost perfectly encapsulated the type of day I have with Landon. I enjoy having many segments show I just like to goof around and do random funny stuff and just like many people just relax and wind down after a long day. I made effort to try and have some connections to feed on video into another such as in the background of the skeleton video you can hear my friend playing the piano in the background and it cuts to the cat playing the piano. Another example is the shot of us doing a shocked face at Miku on his computer leading into both of us playing Fortnite in the same room. Even at the end of the video winding down, the shots within the recording room (the curtain, the movie stack, and watching the movie) are pretty close together in time to represent things slowing down at the end of the day.
