The Generation of AI

“2055” is a sci-fi social awareness film that aims to engage this generation by exploring the global technology crisis and its impact on society and the environment. The project originates from a strong interest in the societal implications of artificial intelligence and technological advancement. Set in a dystopian cyberpunk world, the film envisions a future where digital innovation dominates human life and erodes the natural world.

For this capstone project, I used Blender, Adobe After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve to design a 3D sci-fi city with holograms, neon signs, and LED billboards displaying AI imagery to reinforce the film’s message. Atmospheric fog, rain simulations and dynamic cinematography help portray an artificial, polluted cityscape driven by technology.

This project encourages reflection on society’s dependence on AI, and raises ethical concerns about the loss of creativity and human interaction in a future driven more by machines than by community.
