Using a combination of AI tools, including ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Excalidraw, I create a comic book-style video that summarizes the ideas of Yuri Malishenko's "What is Visual Thinking?" While sharing my behind-the-scenes story, I emphasize the importance of treating AI as a tool to fuel our creativity and improve our efficiency. ----- 🍿Watch next: 📽️ Dump, Lump, Jump: The Ultimate Visual Thinking Tool for Turning Ideas into Action - https://youtu.be/tZcfupm5vKU 📽️ Develop the Superpower of Constructive Debating with Dialog Mapping - includes ChatGPT case study - https://youtu.be/q1r-_Df-Q34 📽️ Visualize Your Options: A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Flowcharts for Decision-Making - https://youtu.be/cxjUat86Hyk 📽️ Unlock Your Creativity with Visualization: The Power of Spatial Thinking - https://youtu.be/oRMh-5S0zoE ----- 00:00 Intro 01:03 Comic book panel 1 01:34 Comic book panel 2 01:53 Comic book panel 3 02:01 Comic book panel 4 02:22 Proposition theory 02:54 Comic book panel 5 03:22 Comic book panel 6 03:56 Comic book panel 7 04:33 Part 1 Summary 05:24 Intro to "Behind the Scenes" 06:19 Grabbing the video subtitles for use as context with ChatGPT 06:31 Generating video title ideas with ChatGPT 07:05 ChatGPT outlines the comic book story 07:20 Generating and refining the video script with ChatGPT 07:45 Generating consistent characters with Midjourney 08:21 Editing images 08:45 Setting up slides in Excalidraw 08:56 Closing thoughts ----- 🙏 If you find my videos helpful, please say thanks by buying me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/zsolt 📩 If you want to connect, you can reach me: (@zsviczian) on the Obsidian Members Group (OMG) on Discord, or on 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/zsviczian ----- My blog: https://zsolt.blog ------ Tools: ChatGPT: https://chat.openai.com/ Midjourney: https://midjourney.com/ Photoroom: https://www.photoroom.com/background-remover Lunapic: https://www2.lunapic.com/editor/ Flaticon: https://www.flaticon.com/ Obsidian: https://obsidian.md/ Excalidraw Plugin: https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin The slideshow script: https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/blob/master/ea-scripts/Slideshow.md ------ Credits: Visual Thinking Introduction by YUri Malishenko: https://youtu.be/9-CS2JT980o Intro videos: Video by Kindel Media: https://www.pexels.com/video/a-group-of-people-in-a-business-meeting-6774772/ Video by Tima Miroshnichenko: https://www.pexels.com/video/man-taking-notes-from-a-book-6550419/ Video by Kindel Media: https://www.pexels.com/video/notes-written-on-stick-pad-6773874/
