AI Filmmaking (updated)
The Libraries team have made some changes to the AI Filmmaking school programme. It is now delivered as two three-hour sessions (6 hours total).
The programme is all about exploring the power of artificial intelligence in filmmaking. It is suitable for up to 12 students in Years 6-8 per group and will take place at South Library. Ākonga will produce a short movie trailer incorporating AI tools alongside the basics of film editing. They will collaborate with other students, share their ideas and feedback, and showcase their work at the end of the programme.
Coming soon 👀
We have several exciting projects and opportunities in the works for the remainder of 2024 and beyond. Keep your eyes peeled for:
