"How I Remember You" Artificial Intelligence Animated Short Film Released

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Jan. 17, 2024 - PRLog -- "How I Remember You" is an animated short film by Michael Finney. This is the filmmaker's first fictional film, it is based on a short story he wrote. The musical score was also written and performed by the storyteller.

Finney said: "This film is about memory and how it programs us as humans as well as how that energy inhabits a space. I'm pleased with how it came out and have to give a nod to excellent directors like David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick for inspiring the craft, though my work is not in that league. I do hope people enjoy this first showing."

The film was created using artificial intelligence tools. Stable Diffusion by Stability AI to generate the still images via Draw Things, a standalone piece of software for Apple MacOS. Motion was added to the images with Pika, a platform for creating short video clips with text or image prompting.

Finney said: "This technology has enabled a novice filmmaker like me to explore creativity more deeply. While I have experience with video and audio editing, the capacity to produce a fictional short film is something that previously was beyond my scope. This piece was created essentially in the time of one month."
