How we use AI
Every image on this site is made with AI
Every photo and print on this site, apart from photos you pick yourself, was made with AI. Its description for screen readers starts with “AI-made image”.
Desmond, Ingrid and Henk are fictional
Desmond, Ingrid and Henk are not real people. We made their photos with AI so that we could show a whole life without using anyone's real family photos.
How the example films were made
Each example film was made with AI from four or six of these AI-made photos. The AI brings each photo to life and moves from one photo to the next. The examples have no sound.
What AI will do in a real Mementofoto film
AI will gently animate your real photos, within each photo and from one photo to the next. It will repair faded prints and add colour to the photos you choose. We also plan to offer an optional song, written from your captions and made with AI.
What AI will never do
The AI will never speak as someone who has died. It will never add a picture of someone at an age you have no photo of.
How films will be labelled
Every film carries a “Made with AI” label and ends with the words “Made with AI from family photos”. The files also carry a machine-readable marking that shows they were made with AI.
