I'm very proud tonight of my daughter Alex and her friend Elisha who have just finished a short film for a school project. Alex is 11, and they have made the whole movie below themselves. The challenge was to do an "Olympic Bid" on behalf of their chosen city Japan, and as part of that they did a news item. Unfortunately this movie doesn't do them justice. They were working with a poor green screen (for a start it was blue), poor lighting, and of course all the iterations of change to file format from opiginal capture with Videocue Pro, to iMovie and then moving to youtube means they have lost a lot of the original quality. LOL the scary part is I am sure the girls aspire to have a setup like that at www.geekbrief.tv They did the whole thing from research, story writing, video capture, image selection, acting, editing etc themselves* . Anyway, they may have a long way to go, but they have made an excellent effort. They love playing with the technology, are really comfortable in front of the camera and I think one day they want to be just like Happyslip ProductionsHere is this weeks effort One from last yearAnd one they did when Flat Stanley came to visit. * They get me to hold the camera from time to time and act as the camera man for a little while, basically pushing the start and stop button on the software but on the whole this is them :-)
DISCLOSURE
I’ve joked for much of my adult life that if I’m going to hell, it’ll probably be for my spelling, grammar, and proofreading.
I’m not diagnosed, but I’m fairly sure I have some level of dyslexia, so yes, I use AI to help with my writing. While I write about things based on deep and varied life experience and ongoing study, the thoughts are my own, I do use AI to check my thinking and to help tidy up what I’ve written ... if you like a virtual editor. Trust me it's as much for you as it is for me :-)
I don’t like AI slop either, so while this writing is mostly for myself, I hope you find some value in it too.
