Before working at my current employer, I was a director of technology at a city and roughly four years ago we signed up for a beta program with Synthesys to make custom scripted greetings which would display at the entrance of the city hall. At the time we had a mayor who did not like to do any type of video content. So this allowed us to script dialog and with a AI aviator that was built with their image gave us the flexibility to change messaging without having to do a whole video production.
We are currently developing a digital messaging solution similar to what we did at the city for the school for the main welcome centers and for waypoints though out the campus.

Subject: Custom AI Generated Welcome Videos?!
Hey all,
Happy Friday! I'm wondering if anyone is leaning in hard to the AI landscape and using any AI software to generator videos of a person/avatar speaking custom messages? We are considering having a "visitor" vestibule when folks arrive on campus and having a video of a student welcoming the visitor and the video being said in multiple languages (either on a loop or by selection). It is pretty easy for a real student to record this video multiple times and then splice them together, but I'm curious if anyone has leaned into AI-generated videos to do something like this, either using a stock avatar from a company or basing it off of a real person in some way, akin to this image from Superstore? Not saying this should happen, but curious if anyone is.
