Amiga memories a writing project on the history of computing, aiming to produce a web series. Images and sounds are 100% automatically produced, the text is described as a script, the visuals are rendered by a real-time 3D engine and the voice-over is generated by a “text-to-speech”.
My wish was to escape the narcissistic “face to camera” format typical to Youtube. I thus decided to star the subject of the story, by making him tell his own story. The choice of the synthetic voice led me to use an open source TTS which diction is close to the original narrator.device of the Amiga, but offers a more pleasant prosody.
Github source code
Even though the project relies on legacy software (GameStart3D), I found it meaningfull to share the source code on Github: https://github.com/astrofra/amiga-memories
