National Film Award Winner Discusses Narration and AI's Role
Imagine a person who uses their voice to tell stories in movies, kind of like a narrator.
Harikrishnan S won a big award for his voice work in a film called "The Sacred Jack".
This film is about a special tree that people believe grants wishes.
Harikrishnan uses his voice to bring the story to life.
He thinks the human voice is special because it can show feelings and make us trust the story.
Even though computers can make voices, he believes the human voice is better because it has lived experience and emotions.
He's now working on new projects to tell more stories, including an audiobook.
Harikrishnan S won the National Film Award for Best Narration.
The award was for his work in the documentary "The Sacred Jack – Exploring the Tree of Wishes".
The documentary explores the legend of an ancient banyan tree.
The director of the film, R S Pradeep, passed away shortly after the award announcement.
Harikrishnan emphasizes the importance and uniqueness of the human voice in storytelling, especially over AI generated voices.
