Caching videos on Commons

In theory, AI-generated videos would not need to be exhaustively stored on Commons. Videos could, instead, be cached on Commons as they could be re-generated, as needed, from screenplay or storyboard input data stored on Wikistoryboards. AdamSobieski (talk) 10:11, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Generating individual panels from wikitext

While the precise nature of these "storyboards" or "screenplays" remains to be determined, in theory, individual panels of storyboards could each be generated from wikitext descriptions which could, thereafter, annotate resultant images in the panels. Resultant images could be but one component of a panel. AdamSobieski (talk) 10:48, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Hypermedia

In theory, "storyboards" or "screenplays" could be hypermedia documents, e.g., capable of referring to other reusable "storyboard" panels or sequences via hyperlink. These could, then, form a web of documents. AdamSobieski (talk) 10:42, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Enabling interactivity

While interactivity could be delivered to end-users by allowing navigation options between segments of storyboarded video (placing hyperlinks at the ends of segments), storyboards could, additionally, be interactive, capable of branching like choose-your-own-adventure stories. From these branching storyboards, interactive videos (films) could be generated and stored.

Individual and collections of interactive videos could support personalization and adaptivity with respect to educational content (navigation between segments could be based on audience members' performances on interspersed quizzes).

With respect to AI, other possibilities include that some AI systems could generate and evaluate "storyboards" or "screenplays" multimedia documents, while other AI systems could generate educational videos from these on-the-fly. AdamSobieski (talk) 10:21, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Brainstorming, perhaps a new technology, a combination of screenplay, storyboard, and process model, could be of use.

As envisioned, "storyboards" would be modular and reusable, like computer-programming functions or template metaprograms.

As a function is a callable sequence of instructions, a "storyboard" could extend upon the concept of a callable sequence of panels. "Storyboards" could declare and utilize both input parameters and local variables.

Beyond simply hyperlinking to one another, "storyboards" could call one another, passing arguments to one another. These "storyboards" could have control flow and branching, resembling both functions and process models. AdamSobieski (talk) 12:08, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Interoperability with artificial-intelligence agents via video tracks

In theory, generated (interactive) videos could utilize either timed-text or JSON/JSON-LD data in video tracks to interoperate with AI systems on either servers or users' devices.

Dialogue occurring in videos could be copied into AI systems' chat contexts, attributed to the characters in the videos.

Via such interoperability, users could ask other, interoperating AI assistants questions about events or dialogue in a video and their assistants could answer these questions.

Additionally, users could direct their questions to those characters in (interactive) videos; answering these could be accomplished by generating more (interactive) video content, in an on-the-fly manner. AdamSobieski (talk) 00:34, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia integration

Might computational screenplays be automatically generated from Wikipedia articles and collections of these articles? AdamSobieski (talk) 14:56, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Sequential art and graphic novels

While the motivating use case involves supporting the creation and editing of "screenplay" or "storyboard" inputs for AI-generated single-character educational videos where a tutor would stand before a board or screen to perform instruction and to provide quizzes, another use case for the same software components would be a platform for the collaborative creation and editing of sequential art and graphic novels.
