July 2024 - August 2024
CDM Summer Course - Team Project
AI Short Film & AR Cards & 2D Game

Project Overview

After learning how to incorporate generative AI as part of the production pipeline in the course, the project aimed to create three different media forms of content derived around the same story. Our project tells the story of the historical origins of the Mushroom People in a magical land. Combining AI microfilm, AR interactive cards and a 2D game, the audience is able to explore the story of the very beginnings of this magical place in a more comprehensive way.

Release Calender

The release calendar shows the order in which the three media will be released with an approximate timeline. The initial microfilm series will explain the origins of the Mushroom People through a five-part story. Following this, viewers will be able to explore the villages and homes of the three ancestors of the Mushroom People by decoding and collecting items through a game about them. Finally, players will be able to purchase AR cards to interact with and collect, giving them a deeper connection to the story

Microfilm

In the process of making a microfilm, we first use Midjourney to build still images for each scene after conceptualizing the plot and the general sub-shots. Then we used image-to-video generating AI, such as Runway, to create the motion video.

AR Cards

For the AR card production we created a 2D card design and 3D scenes & characters that will appear when the card is scanned. By scanning the card, the audience can see the dynamic scene and the introduction of the character.

Game Design

Similarly, we used generative AI to create the game's scenery, props & characters. Using the Unity engine for game development, we created some basic prop collection systems, dialog systems and puzzle systems to enhance story interaction.
