"He had previously experimented with various tools and had mixed feelings about generative AI and its connection to the filmmaking process. However, this experience was different. "It took a second, but it almost took my breath away," Quinn says. "Suddenly, this person that I had pictured in my brain and written all these pages about across multiple drafts was right in front of me! It gave me a way of bringing to life a thing that previously would have just been in my imagination.""
"Quinn wanted to share this experience with other screenwriters, so he will be teaching an undergraduate class titled "AI Screenwriting" this fall. It's not the first class to integrate AI at DePaul, where the School of Cinematic Arts is located in the Jarvis College of Computing and Digital Media, which also includes the School of Computing and School of Design."
Matt Quinn, an associate professor and associate dean at DePaul University's School of Cinematic Arts, used an AI image generator to create a character from a script excerpt and experienced a vivid realization. He had previously experimented with generative tools with mixed feelings, but this result allowed a clear visualization of a character he had written across drafts. Quinn will teach an undergraduate course titled "AI Screenwriting" to share that capability. The School of Cinematic Arts sits within the Jarvis College of Computing and Digital Media, enabling close ties with computing and design. Generative AI could produce and modify entire sequences from scripts, making filmmaking more accessible for screenwriters who lack resources to create images or sequences.
