My Creative Contributions in Digital Media

Introduction

Throughout my professional journey, I have always sought to blend creativity with technology. This fusion has allowed me to explore various digital media avenues and contribute significantly to educational, cultural, and family heritage initiatives. Here, I am excited to share some of my key creative contributions in the digital space.

Translation of "Bhadra Kalyanam"

One of my most cherished projects is the translation of the treatise "Bhadra Kalyanam," which narrates the celestial marriage of Bhadra, the seventh consort of Lord Sri Krishna. Originally written by Dr. K. V. Krishnakumari under the divine inspiration of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, this work was translated with the invaluable contribution of Pramila Turaga. The translated eBook is available on Amazon, making this profound spiritual text accessible to a wider audience.

Video Series: "Learning for Lifetime"

In an effort to promote values-based education, I created the video series "Learning for Lifetime," which is based on the 13th chapter of the Bhagawad Geeta. This series, with a total run time of 1 hour and 25 minutes, delves into the essence of values and their application in daily life. It aims to inspire viewers to incorporate these timeless principles into their lives, fostering personal growth and societal harmony.

Website: Fond-Recollections

To preserve and celebrate family heritage, I designed, developed, and continue to maintain the website 'Fond-Recollections.' This platform serves as a digital repository for our family lineage and a blog space for sharing stories, experiences, and memories. It is a testament to the importance of documenting and cherishing our roots and connecting with our extended family.

Educational Course: "AI for Kids"

Recognizing the potential of artificial intelligence in education, I created the course "AI for Kids." This hands-on training program is designed to introduce children to AI through engaging activities such as storytelling, video creation, and writing poems and blogs. By making AI accessible and fun, this course aims to spark curiosity and creativity in young minds, preparing them for a future where technology plays a pivotal role.

eBook: "Cross-Generational Conversations"

Another significant contribution is the creation of the eBook "Cross-Generational Conversations - Crafting Stories from Past to Future." This book, accompanied by workshops, encourages people to engage in meaningful dialogues across generations, sharing stories that connect the past, present, and future. It underscores the value of preserving family narratives and fostering understanding and respect between different age groups.

AI-Generated Movie Trailer: "Bhadra Kalyanam"

Combining my interests in AI and storytelling, I created an AI-generated movie trailer for "Bhadra Kalyanam," based on the same treatise that inspired the eBook translation. This five-minute trailer is available in both English and Telugu and explores the ultimate relationship from love to sublime love through marriage. I was responsible for both pre-production and post-production, including scriptwriting, image creation, animation, video editing, narration, and background audio. The project utilized nine different AI tools, showcasing the power of technology in creating compelling digital content.

Conclusion

My journey in digital media has been both fulfilling and enlightening, allowing me to contribute to various educational, cultural, and familial initiatives. Each project has been a step towards leveraging technology to enrich lives and preserve important narratives. As I continue to explore new digital avenues, I remain committed to creating content that educates, inspires, and connects people across generations and cultures.
