My video project focuses on Rosa Parks after the Montgomery Bus Boycott, shedding light on her continued activism and lifelong dedication to civil rights. I used a mix of historical research and creative AI tools to bring her story to life through realistic portraits, voice narration, and immersive storytelling.
- Research and Scriptwriting: To develop the script, I used ChatGPT for in-depth research on Rosa Parks’ life beyond the bus incident. I crafted a narrative that highlights her lesser-known efforts in political organizing, community work, and advocacy. ChatGPT helped me shape a script that’s both historically accurate and emotionally meaningful.
- Visual Creation: For visuals, I used Stable Diffusion to generate portraits of Rosa Parks. These AI-created images helped capture different stages of her life and conveyed her strength, resolve, and quiet power in a visually impactful way.
- Voice and Audio Production: I used ElevenLabs to generate lifelike voiceovers from the script. The realistic narration added depth and emotion to the story, making it feel more personal and engaging for viewers.
- Editing and Assembly: I brought everything together using iMovie, where I carefully arranged the portraits, voiceover, and background music into a cohesive video. Through thoughtful editing and pacing, I aimed to create a final product that was polished, informative, and emotionally resonant.
- Creative Impact: By combining ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, ElevenLabs, and iMovie, I was able to tell a more complete story of Rosa Parks—one that goes beyond the bus and honors her lifelong fight for justice. This AI-assisted process allowed me to explore history in a creative, accessible, and deeply personal way.
