Filmmaking with AI and computer games
Due to the age rating of the computer games used, participation is only possible from the age of 18.
Artificial intelligence, streaming platforms and computer games have become an integral part of our lives. This workshop is about finding out how these technologies can be applied to filmmaking in order to tell innovative stories that do justice to our experiences in a digitalized world.
Participants will get an overview of different AI tools and game engines and the possibilities they offer to turn their ideas into reality without a lot of money or technical expertise. The aim of the workshop is to complete a small project at the end through theoretical impulses, open experiments and mutual support.
Target group: Young people and interested parties aged 18 and over. Basic knowledge of film technology is advantageous.
