AI Generated Digital Art and Video for Historical Storytelling Workshop - Plus Ultra Collective

When: Wednesday, September 10, 2025 8:00–9:15 AM Mountain Time 10:00 AM Eastern Time 9:00 AM Central Time 16:00 Western Europe (GMT+2) Abstract The Plus Ultra Collective welcomes you to join us for an interactive workshop exploring how generative AI can enhance historical storytelling through speculative imagery grounded in rigorous research. We’ll demonstrate RunwayAI, a user-friendly, in-browser AI image and video tool that transforms scripts and images into cinematic sequences. The session emphasizes creating visual narratives with text-to-video generation, AI-assisted image/video editing, and visual effects to vividly reconstruct the past, while ensuring creative outputs remain anchored in historical scholarship. Also, I will showcase a prototype online game, Virtual Plasencia, Spain: The Medieval Vines of Three Faiths (A cooperative strategy game), that utilizes AI to create instant art and nonlinear storylines. In the game, you cultivate vineyards across 15th-century Plasencia, managing production and tithes while fostering collaboration between diverse religious communities. Navigate shared resources and social dynamics, ensuring interfaith trust and collective prosperity to prevent economic and social collapse (A Runway Game World).

Session Outline Part 1: Tools and Methods – Introduction to RunwayAI’s capabilities (text-to-video, image-to-video, and AI-powered editing) for crafting historical scenes. We’ll explore how scripts and reference images can be converted into short cinematic clips, all within a web browser. Part 2: Limitations, Concerns & Ethics – Discussion on the limitations of AI-generated content and potential pitfalls in historical contexts. We’ll address ethical concerns (authenticity, bias, accuracy, ai-safety mechanisms) and how to balance creative freedom with responsible storytelling when using AI. Part 3: Open Discussion & Future Experimentation – A collaborative forum for Q&A, idea exchange, and brainstorming. Participants can share their experiences, debate best practices, and propose future projects using AI for historical research and visualization.
