Timelapse of using #photoshop’s new generative fill feature to connect two images and build a scene around them using blank prompts. Was inspired by @MatthieuGB’s post doing something similar! Notice how I’m not adding any descriptions, but letting gen fill present options for… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here’s the final image! 2/4
And here are the original images made in #midjourneyv51 3/4
And this is @MatthieuGB’s original post that inspired me to use blank prompts to join images together! Check out his stuff and give him a follow! 4/4
Overall flow: pre-process video > img seq > play with prompts > initial controlnet settings > control net batch render > upscale > clean up in post > key out background > deflicker > video post-production 2/15
The approach I used here was figuring out an initial workflow. There’s definitely a lot to play with and improve on. The orig vid is low-res and a little blurry so I started with a pre-process pass by bringing out the edges/brightness & upscaling. 3/15
I started by having #chatGPT write a few rough drafts of a scene involving a panicked character calling her friend for help from a spaceship. I was going for something that would involve heightened emotions but not be too serious. 2/8
Then I wrote a short script using some of those ideas plus my own and put the whole thing into @elevenlabsio. I generated a few takes using low Stability (1-2%) and high Clarity (90-99%). Each take usually had parts I liked, or at least gave me ideas for direction. 3/8
I wonder what the future of UX design (maybe apps in general) may be like if AI really allows us to customize our experience. Not to mention blend programs together through a 3rd party/custom UI if an AI can understand onscreen what's being displayed by the app's GUI. 1/5
Combined with no code platforms of the future and advanced templates, you could probably do weird stuff like Premiere Pro x Unreal Engine x a fighting game template x an anime you like and custom gameify your interface. 2/5
Or maybe you could just submit to a chat AI to combine several apps/aesthetics together and present different connections and gameification strategies based on knowledge of UI/UX design. 3/5
Lately I've been thinking about how much of "reality" is a negotiation with useful illusions and the material world. I think it's safe to say that a portion of how we view things is through shortcuts and narratives. 1/11
To what degree we engage in fictions probably differs from person to person. Some believe the entire thing is a fiction passed on to us from evolution to navigate the food chain. Others think they concretely engage in reality the whole time. 2/11
Personally I think it's interesting how much of the world we can't “see” except through technology or layers of reasoning—radio waves, germs, the financial system, justice. These aren’t simple things we just look at and easily have collective intuition about. 3/11
Reused this animation I made from a post from a few months ago. Rendered in #UE5@UnrealEngine using a @daz3d model with #realtime clothing in the @triMirror plugin. Walk was from the #daz store. Hair was from the Epic Marketplace. 2/6 #aiartprocess
Used SD2’s #depth2img model running locally in Automatic1111. Thanks to @TomLikesRobots for the help getting it working! And showing how the model retains more consistency than normal img2img. I basically did an img2img batch process on the image sequence. 3/6 #aiartprocess
A thought on resistance to change. I recently had a convo with a friend of mine who went thru a serious breakup that left her rattled. She talked about how hard it was to let go of the future she had envisioned for herself; that she felt so sure was going to come. 1/7
I feel like part of the resistance to change isn’t just rooted in the past and present, but also your perception of how you thought the world was going to look like and your place in it. Expectations are set and not met. 2/7
It’s like trying to turn a race car, the more momentum, the more energy it will take to change course. It’s not true in all cases, but when it is true, it can be an incredible struggle. The weight of disappointment can be a terrible burden. 3/7
