Thanks for sharing this amazing video and your on-point thoughts. Minor addition: yes, the music in the video is man made. More specifically it was written by Tom Tykwer, director of Run Lola Run (and other movies) and the song is from his TV series Babylon Berlin.
Excellent instructive use case. Am architecting a multimodal AI game world for educational purposes and will be sharing this post, as it is most timely...
I was a bit underwhelmed on first view. Nice images, yes, It's not really video, it's a narrated slideshow and I get bit bored by the repeated same Ken Burns like zoom effect over used. The audio is flat and sleep inducing, I did not feel the arc at all. And it's not really telling a story, it seems more like narrating one. Or a book report.
But this is a solid assignment, placing a known story in a different time period, or genre mixing, like Abraham Lincoln as a vampire killer. And it's not an AI produced video of course, its a media piece where AI is used to create component parts. And then your questions and variations make it even more thoughtful to consider how to do it. I am thinking now how in a new post Adam Croom described using ChatGPT not as a creation tool but an 'accelerant' of the process.
One of the themes from our "Students as Producers" work at Vanderbilt is the idea that asking students to be creative producers can help them be more thoughtful consumers, whether that's of a genre (digital stories of the StoryCenter variety) or a technology. Which was exactly your point here, but it's nice to have the Blade Runner 1929 video as an example of what that could look like! Thanks for sharing this.

So heck yeah, if I was teaching digital storytelling, I would be all over this. Like "All You Need is Prompt" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IlgXvEcJo8
I do wonder why they did not go for using AI generated music, something like https://soundraw.io/
Yes, now this is getting more than just interesting.
