Synthetic Media Lab
Exploring AI-generated images, videos, and digital media for storytelling and education — building a personal toolkit for synthetic content creation.
Synthetic media tools moved from novelty to genuinely useful faster than most of the software categories I've watched. This is a running toolkit and set of notes on where image, video, and voice generation tools are actually good enough to use for storytelling and education — and where they still fall apart under real scrutiny.
Image & Video Generation
Testing current tools against real storytelling and documentation needs, not just impressive demo prompts.
Voice & Narration
Evaluating synthetic voice tools for narrated educational content, including where they still sound obviously synthetic.
Toolkit, Not Product
This stays a personal reference rather than a packaged offering — the tools change too fast for anything else to stay accurate.

An ongoing personal toolkit rather than a finished project. Revisited periodically as the underlying tools change, which in this category is often.
