An Arabic-language AI creator demonstrated recreating a historical mini-documentary, "Abu Simbel — A Moved History": an 84-second motion-graphics film with Egyptian dialect voiceover, archival footage, and explainer animation about UNESCO's rescue relocation of the temple.
The three-step workflow:
- Script: built the story and scene breakdown with Codex inside ChatGPT (danger → difficulty → rescue campaign → cutting → relocation → reconstruction), fact-checked against UNESCO sources;
- Voiceover: generated the narration with ElevenLabs' Haytham voice plus performance direction (curiosity → tension → awe → calm);
- Timing: the 80.6s voiceover dictated all scene and pause timing, which then drove video generation.
