In the 5th week, we were introduced to some application/webstie for AI video making one of those application is Plotagon.
What's a Plotagon?
Plotagon is a free animation app that allows users to create their own animated movies. With Plotagon, users can create their own actors, write a story, and press play to see their story come to life.
The app offers a variety of scenes and characters to choose from, and users can customize their characters' appearance and movements. Plotagon is available for both Android and iOS devices and is designed to be an easy and fun way to create animated movies.

And then, we were told that each group need to make a teaching video based on their earlier Folktale and in that video we must use PACIFIC. We can also use new application that we just learn before.
We were also told to answer these questions about plotagon:
1. What's the benefit of Plotagon
2. What's the weakness
3. As a student and future teacher, Do you recommend it?
4. And then what other application do you recommend?
And here's my answer:
Benefit:
-Creators can experiment with different camera angles, movements, and zoom levels to create visually dynamic scenes.
-Plotagon is allows us to create a cartoon-style movie with acting and spoken scripting.
-What was once a difficult and skill-heavy task is now made super simple.
Side Effect:
-Based on the experience of some of my friends, the application got problem (like not suitable or lagging) with their laptop
-The feature although many but still theyre not usable
-Their animation and voice over sometimes look and sounds so awkward
Yes, I do recommend it because:
That application makes it easy to create engaging and interesting videos.
Additionally, the platform offers powerful marketing tools that make it possible to reach a wide audience.
Even Though it has it's problem, I don't think it's too much of a bother for students and teacher (if it used for short time period)
To be honest, I haven't really explored this world of ai video creation apps but I have a few apps in mind. like Cascadeur because:
-that apps allows you to create character animations without the need for motion capture.
-It uses a physics-based approach to create expressive and realistic animations for movies or video games.
-Cascadeur character rig includes physical objects, which is a departure from other animation software.
-You can also animate the movements and postures of rigid bodies when animating your character.
-Our tools then use this information to calculate, visualize, and, if needed, improve the physical characteristics of the pose, animation, or animation of the character.
-This simplifies animation and allows you to create complex scenes without the need for motion capture.
-Cascadeur is also designed to be as easy and intuitive as possible for anyone, even if they are not professional animators
Then, each individual was told to make a video based on the folklore storyboard that they just made before:
Before the class end we were told to make one more short video based on our personal experience that morning and send it to our WAG:
