About

BlockBusters AI is an immersive AI challenge where teams transform key company messages into high-impact movie trailers. By blending creativity, collaboration, and AI-powered tools, teams craft engaging content that captivates audiences.

Props, expert guidance, and AI-driven enhancements streamline the process, while diverse themes keep presentations dynamic and engaging.

How AI can enhance the experience:

Scriptwriting & Storyboarding: AI tools like ChatGPT and Sudowrite assist teams in crafting compelling scripts, refining dialogues, and structuring engaging narratives.

Idea Generation: AI brainstorming platforms (e.g., Notion AI, Miro AI) inspire fresh concepts and unique storytelling angles.

Video Editing & Effects: AI-powered tools (e.g., Runway ML, Magisto) improve video quality, automate editing, and add cinematic enhancements.

Voiceover & Sound Enhancement: AI-based solutions (e.g., ElevenLabs, AIVA) generate professional voiceovers and custom soundtracks.

AI-Generated Visuals: Tools like Canva AI and DALL·E help teams design striking promotional graphics and trailer visuals.

Project Management & Time Tracking: AI-driven platforms (e.g., Trello AI, Motion) optimise task management, resource allocation, and deadline tracking.

Audience Engagement & Feedback: AI sentiment analysis tools (e.g., MonkeyLearn) evaluate audience reactions, helping teams refine their messaging for maximum impact.
