Our small video explainer examines AI in animation, including how AI animation generators get their data. Overall, the process of making this was insightful and interesting; animation is not something I have much (or any) experience with so it was fun to research and learn about AI in animation. I think our topic worked well with the requirements of the task given that it was supposed to be a simple video explainer. Our topic was quite basic, but also has room for expanding it in the future as there is so much more information we could cover. In terms of collaboration, I believe our group was compatible and worked well together. We have similar interests regarding art/media and AI. I do believe, however, that we lacked effective communication and struggled to work efficiently on this project outside class time. That being said, there were also external factors that influenced this, such as illnesses and other assessments being due. Perhaps in the future we can improve on time management. Overall, though, the collaboration experience was a positive one. Furthermore, if we were to develop this piece in the future, I would love to make a proper example of an AI generated animation to show the audience. We made small AI generated animations that were basically still images, so I think it would be really interesting if we made a longer animation with characters and dialogue to see what AI would produce.
