#### 2. **Collaborative Scriptwriting and AI Prompt Design** - Students co-write themed narratives describing different types of apocalypse. - These become polished prompt scripts for AI video tools (like Zora) to animate. - Scripts are both imaginative and grounded in scientific possibility, formatted for use in AI-assisted video generation.
# Storytelling Branches & Apocalypse Alternatives Beyond full-planet doom, the project proposes narrative "zoom-ins" on: - Histories of specific extinct species - De-extinction science (resurrecting extinct species) - Time-travel journeys (e.g., to save a dying animal or observe loss) Inspired by Douglas Adams’ "Last Chance to See", participants could build micro-narratives about: - Re-discovered "extinct" species - Stories told from the perspective of the last member of a species - The final days of forgotten human cultures (e.g. Neanderthals, or riffing on tales like The Last of the Mohicans) The aim is to "zoom in" from global apocalyptic events to individual stories of extinction and resistance — all told through the lens of drama, performance, and interactive theatre. ---
