Charismatic is a research and development project supported by an Innovate UK grant of £1.04m. The UK-based consortium includes Oxford-based AI company Charisma working with Falmouth University’s Sound/Image Cinema Lab, University of the Arts London’s Creative Computing Institute, Channel Four, Aardman Animations, Sound Reactions, and digital sociologist Lisa Talia Moretti. A keystone of our research is working with screen partners to discover the potential of emergent technologies to aid and advance creative practice. A central theme of this project is the use of these technologies in assisting creatives in developing their work for the screen and providing tools thate can enable underrepresented groups through lowering the barriers to film and television production. Regarding the potential for research and knowledge exchange, we’re interested in exploring and reporting on the changes to cultures of production that surround these technologies. https://www.falmouth.ac.uk/research/projects/charismatic-ai https://www.charismatic.ai/
