Description: This AI Halloween short directed by eight-year-old Stori, the son of filmmaker Dave Clark, brings the Clark family’s annual Halloween video to life through a script he wrote with his siblings and storyboards drawn in crayon. Created using Seedance 2.5 inside Dreamina and custom Claude skills for video creation, the project combines a child-led creative process with guidance from his father on camera angles, lenses, and storytelling.
I taught my 8-year old son how to build his own Claude skills for video creation. He applied them to this video he directed below for our annual Family Halloween video and wrote the script for it with his siblings. He storyboarded it out with crayon. I gave him pointers on filmmaking language. He now understands different camera angles and lenses. He understands the importance of human story. His name happens to be "Stori." This was after he visited me on a major film set and watched as I directed the crew and actors. Since then he has been editing nonstop and writing stories. Making dozens of stop motion videos with his action figures. Just like me as a kid in Germany. Now all of his friends want IN. These are the next generation storytellers. Leveraging the new creative tools to create with no boundaries. Welcome to tomorrow, today.
