Rise of the Machines

What an AI class taught me about my human self...

As I mentioned last week, I’ve been taking a class to learn AI Filmmaking techniques. A couple of friends were doing it and it seemed like a good way to build on skills that I was already developing. Plus, I’ve been in a real headspace of not fighting the future. I figured these tools would come in handy working in a business that expects us to write, film, produce, fund and even act in our own projects without ever being paid. Next, they’ll want us to start our own streaming services, too.

So while I’m working on the logo for TessFlix, please enjoy last week’s assignment featuring my friend Joseph Lopez’s poem, “Let This Be Rome.”

It's been a while since I took a “class” and while it’s arguable if this actually counted as one for reasons I won’t go into here, it was definitely a learning experience. I’ve learned how to use a lot of tools – and I’ve learned a lot about myself.
