This is the final AI video in this series. Reviewing the year long AI creations it is easy to see the incredible advancements made in less than a year. These AI videos illustrate where the free versions of these technologies are today. Tomorrow, AI will just keep getting better. Tomorrow, we will not be able to tell the difference between “hand-made” media and AI generated products. This video took 30 minutes to create.

Make a video that shows a wooden match being struck against a matchbox in extremely slow motion. On the beat of an ominous atonal music track, the image fluctuates between a black and white negative and positive. When the match is lit, the image becomes full colour. As the match slowly burns in the surrounding darkness, fiery text flashes the names of the books: “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood, “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, “The Wars” by Timothy Findley, “The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz” by Mordecai Richler, “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger, “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov, “Satanic Verses” by Salman Rushdie, “Lady Chatterly’s Lover” by D.H. Lawrence, “Go Ask Alice” by Anonymous. A blast of fire transitions or wipe to a close up shot of a row of book on a shelf. Between the books there is a paper note sticking out. Zoom into the note which is handwritten in cursive letters: “some of us are missing”. The paper catches fire and the image fades out.
