Mata Hari

AI Short Film

In my teenage years, I came across a thick book that told the engrossing and tragic story of the rise and fall of a young woman who lived nearly a century ago.

The name she was known by around the world was Mata Hari. The book contained no pictures, so I painted her story with the colors of my own imagination 👩‍🎨

Today, I can share a snippet of it with you as I explore new cinematic tools to tell stories loosely inspired by historical events – stories I could never bring to life in any other way 📽️

Tools I use:

  • 📝 ChatGPT by @openai: research, outline, script
  • 🎶 @sunomusic to create the soundtrack
  • 🗣️ @elevenlabsio for narration
  • ⛵️ @mid.journey for visuals
  • ✍️ Photoshop Gen AI tools + @retouchingpanels to adjust generated visuals
  • 💫 @runwayapp to breathe life into generated visuals
  • ✨ @envato for SFX & VFX
  • 🖥️ @Adobe Premiere Pro to put it all together

Everything in this little story is written, generated, adjusted, animated, assembled and edited by me, @juliakuzmenko 👩‍💻

At this point, I am aware of but not concerned with upscaling the generated visuals or the video clips as I am focused on learning script writing, video editing, assembling and very many other nuances of storytelling and filmmaking.

I plan on sharing some BTS of the process of creating this story, it was a lot of fun with many challenges that I figured out how to overcome 👩‍💻

None of it could have been possible even a year ago.
