AI Generate film -THE_GOOD_ITALIAN

This project is a 10-minute AI-generated experimental film centered on the life and legacy of Joseph Petrosino（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Petrosino）, a legendary Italian-American police detective active in New York during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The film was generate by four step 1:script writen by real history meterial including old pictures and written metrial ,Crate story broad based on script 2: midjourney generate each key frame and after photoshop correction we put the key frame to runway.make movie shot correct it by modify key words.3:chose music and compositing meterial (old film screening strech)to conposite it

The narrative is structured around three key perspectives: Petrosino’s role in a butcher shop robbery investigation, his involvement in the infamous Elizabeth Street barrel murder case, and how his legacy is remembered through the voices of his descendants. Students conducted in-depth research and visited historical locations across New York City where Petrosino lived and worked—most of which have since been transformed. Using archival photos and historic visual references, we generated scenes via Midjourney, Runway, and ComfyUI, stitching together AI-generated visuals into a cohesive story.

The final piece reimagines a vintage-style documentary, merging history, memory, and speculative media to reflect on how digital tools can reconstruct forgotten narratives. It serves both as an homage to Petrosino and an exploration of new methodologies in cinematic storytelling through AI.
