Inside Newark Academy’s AI-Powered Film Class
Take a peek inside Dan Gold’s Upper School film class and you’ll be transported to a place where giant cookies are dominating the world, the last two humans on Earth is fighting for survival, and the planets of the Milky Way are within reach.
In Newark Academy’s new film and photography studio, students can now bypass the enormous financial and time constraints of filming a movie and jump right into the world of creating and editing scenes from their wildest imaginations — giant world-dominating cookies and all — thanks to the use of images generated by artificial intelligence (AI).
For this assignment, Dan tasked his students to create a 30- to 45-second trailer for their dream movie using three different AI software programs.
