The Yoda Crossover Collection

15 Short Stories featuring Yoda and other well known characters from across many worlds. The stories were created with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence. The art work was created with Midjourney, Dream Woomba, and Dall-e. These stories are the products of exercises we did for educational and skill-building purposes. We share them for free and fun. They do represent hours of labor and aesthetic choices. If you’d like to enjoy projects like these in the future please feel free to support our practice at any level you wish. –Claudia Alick

What is OBS

Calling up Justice is a big proponent of open source software and OBS specifically. Open Broadcasting Software (OBS) is a free and open-source software for video recording and live streaming. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. OBS allows users to capture video and audio from various sources, including webcam, desktop screen, game screen, and external devices such as microphone and camera. The captured content can then be mixed, edited, and streamed live to platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Live, and more. Below we will share a simple definition of the software and give you access to the free training we provided.

AI about our transmedia practice

This essay was the FIRST result from Chat-GPT prompt “tell me about the transmedia practice Calling up Justice” It as so accurate! Our mission statement is “producing transmedia performances of justice on-stage, online, and in real life”.

Strange World

Strange World movie review. It’s good. On multiple levels. It is difficult to find anything to critique harshly. I am loath to promote Disney projects or corporate projects in general but this is a good film and a good time.
