My purpose for this video on mushrooms is to inform young children to leave mushrooms alone when they visit the woods. Kids often put their hands in their mouths without thinking and since some mushrooms are poisonous, we don't want anyone to get hurt. Additionally, when young children see mushrooms they literally dive bomb them to pick them. We are trying to teach responsibility and stewardship as well. Anyone who sees value in this video is welcome to use it. I volunteer with a local elementary school's kindergarten classes, for Woods Wednesdays, and it is the best fun I have ever had.
This was my first foray into the world of AI. Since my level of drawing ability is that of a kindergartener, I developed this video using the Gemini app, Lyra3Pro, and iMovie. Drew was kind enough to get me started as he has some great skills. The music and all the scenes are AI generated. This is not just a process where you make a statement and "voila" your scene is created. In order to get consistency from scene to scene, you have to have very specific prompts and reference pictures. When I wanted specific mushrooms, I used the scientific names for them in the prompts. And, trying to have Gemini create scene animation was another level of frustration as anomalies cropped up that were hilarious at times with the inconsistencies. Hence, the still scenes. I did the narration, which is not exactly great, but it was the best I could do as I am not a professional. I hope you get some value from it. Enjoy!
