Building a Slide Deck with CueCam: Surfing in California

In this video, I walk you through the process of creating my CueCam slide deck using cutting-edge AI tools. I'll show you how I leveraged LM Studio and the Gemma 3 model to generate text prompts – essentially, acting as a professional presenter – and then used Google image searches to build out the visuals.

*(0:00 - 0:30) Introduction & Tool Overview:* I explain my workflow using QCam, highlighting its unique blend of text and images. We’ll see how LM Studio's system prompts (designed for concise teleprompter-style content) dramatically sped up the research process.

*(0:30 - 1:45) Content Creation Process:* I detail how I used AI to generate the historical text, focusing on key moments like Duke Kahanamoku’s introduction of surfing to Southern California in 1908, the first competition at Cocoa Beach, and the post-WWII explosion fueled by Hollywood.

*(1:45 - 2:30) Image Sourcing & Scripting:* I demonstrate how I used Google image searches based on the generated text to find relevant visuals for each slide – a practical tip for anyone creating their own presentations! We cover iconic figures like Mickey Dora and Phil Edwards.

*(2:30 - End) Evolution of Surfing:* We wrap up with a look at the evolution of surfing, from wetsuits and large waves to its continued influence in music and culture.
