StMU Research Scholars

Featuring Scholarly Research, Writing, and Media at St. Mary's University

This video project blends historical research with cutting-edge creative AI tools—including language models, AI-generated imagery, video editing, and generative music—to bring a compelling conversation with John D. Rockefeller to life. Through this immersive experience, we explore his perspectives on wealth, industry, philanthropy, and the American dream, reimagined through the lens of modern technology.

Script & Lyric Writing: In this project, scriptwriting and lyrics were accomplished by the collaboration between ChatGPT and Suno AI V3. ChatGPT assisted in developing and refining narrative material and concepts for lyrics, whereas Suno AI V3 assisted in lyric structure and styling in a music setting.

Image Creation: All the imagery graphics were created using LTX Studio, an image-generation tool based on artificial intelligence. It was used to create informative and themed-responsive images that relate to the content of the project.

Video Production: Finally, the end video was created using Fliki, an AI-based video generation platform. Fliki took the script, images, and audio and converted them into a single video presentation with voice-overs and transitions.

This project was created with the help of several AI tools – ChatGPT, Suno AI V3, LTX Studio, and Fliki – I learned to make a tribute to the life and work of John D. Rockefeller, an American industrialist and philanthropist.
