About the Show
Ms. Chelsea’s Classroom is the fantastical, make-believe world of Chelsea Nelson, a real-life mom, wife, and Sunday school teacher.
The brainchild of Chelsea and her husband, David, the series aims to provide children with a highly captivating educational experience that connects biblical truths to everyday lessons while exploring God’s amazing plan of redemption for the world.
Made possible by next-generation commercial generative AI production tools, the show offers a modern take on the golden age of children’s television, complete with original music, supporting characters, virtual field trips, and dynamic claymation environments.

How We Made It
Chelsea’s husband, David, has worked within and around AI for over a decade. The show utilizes a hybrid AI production model, which is poised to be the predominant format of media productions in the near future.
The suite of AI tools are meticulously trained on the real-life Ms. Chelsea’s likeness, mannerisms and voice. The early stages of development of the show closely resemble traditional television production. The classroom “set” and supporting claymation characters were sketched, rendered with AI tools and then utilized to train the AI model to achieve consistency.
Chelsea and David first storyboard and write each episode using traditional processes. While we clearly embrace the vast opportunities that AI affords us to create grand audiovisual presentations, we take care to preserve a high degree of human involvement in developing each episode’s story arc, spoken script and lessons.
In addition to not compromising on theological and worldview alignment, we believe that heavily relying upon AI for this process would reduce the opportunity for the Holy Spirit to work through us in the development of the show and what is conveyed.
