<Unlock Your Video Content Creator Potential with ChatGPT & Kapwing>
Trailblazer
Thanks to Ms Alexis Tung who shared how she utilised Kapwing AI to generate a video instantaneously from a ChatGPT-generated text on Mark Cuban (https://www.facebook.com/groups/sglearningdesigners/permalink/1656928208128350/?mibextid=W9rl1R)
Impetus to Follow
The English Department plans to organise an Escape Room activity for our lower secondary students as part of their post-exam programme. I hope that I can strong-arm my colleagues to do one on “Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead” since I am fervently watching this anime series these days. Will like to produce a video on Kapwing to induct the students into Zombieland.
My Original Work + ChatGPT Prompt
You may think that a zombie apocalypse would be the worst thing to happen to a young Tokyo man, Akira Tendo. Surprisingly, when Akira discovers that Tokyo is being run over everywhere by zombies, he feels an extreme sense of elation and relief. Before the apocalypse, he was working in a tough and demanding office job. He faced so much stress that he did not have the energy for anything. So, when he realised that he no longer had to work, he felt this incredible burst of energy. To make effective use of his time, he started to keep a journal, in which he pledged to complete 100 things before zombies devoured him. In a world that was dark and depressing, Akira found joy in fulfilling his dreams, including being a superhero. It’s a great show to stimulate you to reflect on the meaning of life.

ChatGPT’s Output
Akira Tendo, a young man from Tokyo, found himself surprisingly happy when a zombie apocalypse hit. Before this, he had a tough job that caused him a lot of stress and drained his energy. Now, without work, he felt a burst of energy. He decided to keep a journal and set a goal to accomplish 100 things before the zombies got to him. In this dark world, Akira found joy in chasing his dreams, like becoming a superhero. This story is a great reminder to think about the meaning of life.
Kapwing
Copied and pasted ChatGPT’s response (so swell that I was nodding my head in approval) on the AI feature of Kapwing.com (photo provided). It produced a video promptly - with accompanying images and narration.
Climax
The video neither contained an image of a Japanese man nor pictures of zombies! Also the image that accompanied the ending was a fetal ultrasound - kinda inappropriate for the context of 23-year-old Akira.
Resolution
Turned to Dall-E to generate the two most important images that I needed in the video. Edited my ending to say “stay positive and never give up even when the odds are against you”. Inputted them into my project. Generated the video again.
Final product
I deemed it good enough to be uploaded on YouTube. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/EJBe0jCDYW0. You be the judge.
