My new AI-assisted short film is here. Kira explores human cloning and the search for identity in today’s world.
It took nearly 600 prompts, 12 days (during my free time), and a $500 budget to bring this project to life. The entire film was created by one person using a range of AI tools, all listed at the end.
Enjoy.

A research team is working on ways to produce 3D structures using DNA.
DNA is the foundation of life, as DNA molecules carry digital information that is used by cells to reproduce and develop all the functional biology required for life.
DNA can do this because it contains four molecules that can be easily bonded into complex structures. The molecules, adenine (A), cytosine ©, guanine (G), and thymine (T), can be arranged in “ladder” forms that are self-assembling.
The hand could lead to advanced prosthetic hands for amputees or robots with the dexterity and strength to perform household task.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered that amniotic fluid stem cells can be safely collected from vaginal fluid after childbirth rather than relying on more invasive methods that can pose some risk to the mother and fetus.
“We can then turn those cells into beating heart cells and use them later in treating congenital heart defects,” said the study’s senior author Jeffrey Jacot, Ph.D., associate professor of pediatrics and bioengineering at the University of Colorado Center for Bioengineering in the CU School of Medicine. “These results allow for an expanded and readily available source of amniotic stem cells beyond traditional collection through amniocentesis.”
The study was published today in the journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine.
