The Making of S.I. - A Teacher's Perspective

Overwhelmed by an ever-growing pile of homework, two students take matters into their own hands, building a deep-thinking artificial intelligence, 'S.I. - Superficial Intelligence' to do the work for them. But as S.I. learns at an alarming rate, it starts thinking for itself. What began as the perfect solution quickly spirals into chaos. Have they created a groundbreaking invention or an unstoppable problem?


This inventive short film was created at Burnham Market Primary School as part of an in-school filmmaking project. From scriptwriting and prop design to puppetry, cinematography, and even coding S.I. 's responses and gestures, the students took full creative control, bringing their vision to life with professional guidance from their class teacher, Ash Williams, and performance coach, Callum Adkins. The result? A thrilling, thought-provoking adventure that showcases the power of young storytellers.

 

"S.I. Superficial Intelligence" isn’t just a short film, it’s a passion project that has brought out the best from everyone involved. From camera, to performance, to building the amazing S.I model itself, everyone involved in the project brought their best, showcasing their amazing skills on the big screen.
