53-545 Story Development and Previsualization with AI

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Previsualization is the technique of creating content that conveys a clear vision for movies, animations, game design, etc.. This process can be used to help refine the story, save time and money, and set the blueprint for production. The previs can be achieved in various ways through illustrations, photos, or words that capture how a production is visually presented. Considering the current influx and growth potential of AI content generators, this class explores how this can be used effectively in the story and previs development stage Students will explore techniques using AI content generators e.g. NightCafe, DALLE 2, Deep Dream Generator, Deep Dream Generator, Runway ML, Midjourney, TalkToTransformer, SassBook, etc... for inspiration and conceptualization of different story media. They will then develop and create a previsualization package for that story.
