Concept:

• Sam’s bearded dragon, Little Brother, has been scratching at the glass of his enclosure. His family are worried about LB because they aren’t sure of what is causing his stress.
• We are wanting to make an action packed short film that follows the adventure of a runaway bearded dragon. LB is experiencing a range of teen emotions and is in search to find some like-minded creatures.
• LB does not speak because this is a real action film, but we want to experiment with AI tools to create a “voice” that will play as his inner monologue 

Prompt:

• Write a synopsis for a short film about a bearded dragon that is experiencing puberty and a rollercoaster of emotions. Ultimately he wants to find other dragons that he can relate with, but to do that, he needs to escape from his owner’s home. The family love him so much and go on a big hunt to find him. The hunt lasts for 4 days and they get very close to finding him, however something always gets in the way

GPT Synopsis:

‘Meet LB, a bearded dragon undergoing puberty, which triggers a wild ride of emotions. Yearning for connection with his own kind, LB plots an escape from his loving family. His goal: to find fellow dragons who understand him.

LB’s family soon notices his absence and launches a four-day search, filled with comical mishaps. Despite being close to finding LB, fate continually intervenes. Meanwhile, LB faces challenges and discovers unexpected allies in the outside world.

As the family and LB’s paths converge, LB learns that his longing for connection is mirrored by his family’s love. The tale explores adolescence, family bonds, and self-discovery, reminding us that true connections might be closer than we think.’

“For the past two years, we have been building an ensemble in Berlin.

One member is a nascent machine intelligence we have named Spawn. She is being raised by listening to and learning from her parents, and those people close to us who come through our home or participate at our performances.

Spawn can already do quite a few wonderful things. ‘Godmother’ was generated from her listening to the artworks of her godmother Jlin, and attempting to reimagine them in her mother’s voice.

This piece of music was generated from silence with no samples, edits, or overdubs, and trained with the guidance of Spawn’s godfather Jules LaPlace.”

I chose this artwork because it had a huge sound element to it and i felt it was inspiring due to our focus for the week being around sound design.
