AI Shorts Class — The Light That Hurts

01 What you'll make

Two shorts in two hours

①

First we look at three facts about sea life and artificial light, then make a sea short together, step by step, using one sourced fact.

②

After the break, use the same flow to make whatever you like — your club, your neighbourhood, your pet.

Each short: five or six 5-second clips joined into 25–30 seconds, vertical, with captions and an AI disclosure.

02 How it works

Three steps in a fixed order, so nobody gets lost. We do short ① together; short ② repeats the same steps on your own.

A Scenario

Ask an AI chat for a short scenario

Tell an AI chat service your idea in one line (we'll give you the address on the day). It writes a few sentences of story — five or six moments, start to finish. You keep what you like and change the rest.
B Image

One image per moment

In the same AI chat, make the opening image of each moment for free. Fix anything that looks wrong before moving on.
C Video

5 seconds per cut, then join them

Upload each image to the AI video service and make a 5-second clip (image-to-video). Make one first to try it, then five or six in all. Join them in the order you made them with a phone editing app (e.g. the Instagram Reels editor or CapCut), add captions, and your story is done. The AI video service is provided by the organisers.

Nothing runs on your laptop — the AI work happens in online services, and you join the clips on your phone.

03 Schedule

Times count from the start of class and may shift a little on the day.

0:00–0:10Welcome and accounts — AI chat and the AI video service
0:10–0:20Asking AI — ask what you don't know yet
0:20–0:35Sea life and light pollution — three facts and the example film “The Coral's Clock”, with sources
0:35–1:05Short ① the sea — scenario → image → 5-second clips × 5–6 → join, together
1:05–1:15Break
1:15–1:50Short ② your own — same flow, your idea
1:50–2:00Check before posting (AI label, sources, privacy), post to Reels

Each clip takes a few minutes. While clips render, you write captions.

04 What to bring

05 After class

Your shorts are yours. The default is to post them on your own Instagram as Reels — we'll go through it together at the end of class.

Hashtags: #고통의빛 #바다의밤 #해양빛공해 (for the sea short)
Mark it as AI-made: turn on Instagram's AI label, or write “Made with AI” in the caption.
For the sea short, put the source of your fact in the caption.
No faces, names or personal details of other people without their consent. Posting is always your choice.
