1. "Oh, Dr. Z, do you seriously believe that people will understand this illustration of your Everyday Life Game: Game of Ideas?" Dr. Z asked himself. "Maybe, it would have been better just giving this link to a deck capturing creating of an animation- Kozlenok Book Animation Popcorn-1-9-8-25.pptx?" 2. Dr. Z rubbed his big, maybe, too big forehead. An intense internal work was boiling inside. He was thinking hard about how to keep this piece of puzzle (POP) short and self-explanatory example of the Game. 3. "I am not sure if this example-in-itself is a good example" He said tyagelo vzdohnuv (Russian for sighting heavily). "It is supposed to illustrate the 1st and 3rd Shooter Modes - presenting a story from the 1st and 3rd person's perspective, respectively. It also was supposed to illustrate how embedding Russian or English words could help people to learn another language. It also would be nice to give a translation of a classical kids' Russian song used in this POP as an audio component about two little goats ..." 5. Instead, he gave a summary of the deck provided by Copilot:
•Initial Contact and Testing of AI Animation Service: Dr. Z received a promotional message from Popcorn.co about their AI service that auto-creates movies using agentic workflows. Curious about its functionality, he accessed the Popcorn.co Beta platform, encountering a login screen and a welcome message encouraging user engagement. •Story Prompt Input and Narrative Development: Dr. Z input a detailed story prompt about a little goat who takes selfies to create a digital copy and protect against deep fakes. The narrative introduces multiple characters—Little Goat, Little Calf, Cow, Bull, Horse, Captain Cock, Pig, Parrot—and depicts a sequence where the goat takes pictures of others, causing concern about privacy. The story culminates with the goat proving the authenticity of real pictures, dispelling deep fakes, and joining a team to protect identities, highlighting themes of digital privacy and the dangers of deep fakes. •Character and Scene Generation by Popcorn: Popcorn.co successfully generated character images and started creating scenes for the story, including detailed character descriptions and a script with multiple dialogues, showing progress in animation development. Dr. Z's Experience and Challenges: Dr. Z was excited to see his idea materialize but faced challenges including lack of expert help and project delays. Despite initial progress, the animation project stalled with Popcorn showing the same image for two days without explanation. •Project Status and Documentation Purpose: The project is currently stalled, but Dr. Z documents the experience as part of his Creative Failure Celebration game to inform other Popcorn users about potential issues they may encounter.
•Repeated Decision to Test Functionality: Multiple slides reiterate Dr. Z's decision to check if the animation service would work, emphasizing his ongoing efforts to realize the project. |
