Watch Battalion—My First Ever 5-Minute Gen AI Short Film. I had to upload it in two parts. This is part 1; part 2 is in the comments. I created this over a few weeks using 100% image-to-video and text-to-video Generative AI. While not perfect, the tools advance daily, even during production, helping to produce incredible results. This is my most in-depth and longest Gen AI narrative film project. It was created by one person. Watch the full-length 4K pro res here: youtu.be/5NZubOOeeV0?si=vv65… Various tools helped me bring it to life, and it wouldn't have been possible without the power of AI. The story chronicles the 320th Barrage Balloon Batallion, the only unit to storm the beach during D-Day composed entirely of African American soldiers. They provided critical protection to the ships and soldiers below them from attacks by enemy aircraft.
