As of 2023, there are a lot of people within the academic community who are wary about the use of AI within schools. I understand the reasoning behind this sentiment. However, generative AI will not go away, so we’ll have to do what we can to ensure that we’re using this tool sensibly and ethically.
I was tasked with creating a micro-learning video on the topic of generative AI for the academic community and I decided that it would be fun to have it animated. Putting my storytelling and script writing skills to use, the viewer would have a fun and easy way of learning how they could use generative AI to streamline tasks that are common, monotonous, and when they’re in a pinch.
The style of illustration reflects the contents within the inspiration and mood boards I’ve created. Heavily inspired by the Cartoon Modern, its revival in the 1990s, and the 1960s psychedelic aesthetic, this micro-learning video will be a fun and cheeky way to assure the viewer that using generative AI isn’t too bad if used to complete everyday tasks. The software used includes Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
