    Yeah, that frozen dude caught my attention, too. I actually left him on purpose. :D
    It kind of represents the people there back in the 90s....lots of people were 'paralyzed' or rather 'intoxicated'...:D

    But since I still have the entire setup of comfyui workflows and video cut / editing tracks layout, it's quite easy to re-render that particular part, just using another seed. The entire video consists of 7 parts. The most challenging part of making this video is to get consistency. The video AI does absolutely not know what has been rendered before. Each new task to render a next part starts from zero. If you have a closer look, you see, for instance that the drummer is not always the same person...

    An AI is like a kid, you always have to make clear prompts what to do. :D If you don't specify, it does what it wants. The drums for instance firstly had different colors through the different parts where it appeared. I did not notice that at first place. Then I remade it, specifying the golden color with black front at the base drum...

    This is where one can recognize that it's still AI. The realism gets better and better. Soon indistinguishable from real footage. But watch out for inconsistencies.:)

    Glad you love the song, I love it, too.:hug2:

    Here is the version without the frozen dude. You also can notice what freedom the AI has by just using another seed. Not only the frozen dude changes...

    That's a great video—you're a genius when it comes to AI. Well done!

    Thanks for the compliment.:) I like it, too.
    AI has become to me a creative interface. I always had creative ideas / art in my mind and could not really express them. AI allows me now to do.

    I cannot paint, my attempts to make own music were rather poor. Before AI the only creative tool I could use to my satisfaction was photography. I left some real photos and videos made out of them here at this thread as well. I love this thread and come back whenever I log in.
    I am not really a genius, but I know what enthusiasm means. It is a good feeling when a vision pops up in mind and then I take a seat in front of my PC knowing I have now tools to realize. ATM I enjoy the summer and the heat waves...as soon as it is getting colder again I continue with AI. I always loved and love tech combined with art.

    Hello, old friend! :hug2:

    I just logged in to have a look at MDL to check if everything is all right.
    Take care.

    Cya soon again.

    @Yen , I had a closer looksie :D
    I find it harder to spot differences when scene is more futuristic, my brain focus different...you really have to engage your brain...
    (he turnes his leg 180 and annoyingly walk backwards) :eek:
    Scene may not be real but spotting tiny tiny details that should not be there in that context, really cool, I love it.

    I did a follow up. :)
    Cybercity 2077_The scenes.

    I used the latest open source AI models.
    Krea2 to design the pictures / environments and minimax H3 film AI.

    Minimax is very new. I used what's out there and created workflows for my needs. I could not render in FHD, slightly below. FHD still takes ages since it's a huge model. Maybe in a few weeks acceleration gets optimized.

    But when a creative idea pops up I had to realize it. Did most of it last night. Enjoy.
    As always, to download it is the best option.

    Thank you! :hug2:

    Just want to share my final version of it.
    I optimized my workflow. I added a frame interpolation AI. The video is much smoother now.

    This video AI is really a mighty instrument. It is great having the workflows, I can edit and rerun what I want. Did some edits and added scene 0 which I had previously forgotten, lol.

    (Corrected typo in the video).

    Cya soon.

    It is heartwarming whenever I come back, a short time, to see old friends are still around here. And also the MDL community.... still very strong with a lot of helpful members....I joined 2007 and it is still up and running....spent tons of hours here.....never regret one second of it. I am rendering new AI stuff, thought I could login a wile...

    With that AI I have the feeling I can realize a dream..just a short AI movie, with dialogues and story...the consistence issue seems now to resolve....but it's a lot of work...every character needs a sheet and own voice to be recognized at each shot / scene....still exercising..realizing flashes of visions..testing different genres...

    maybe some day I can do it......

    Take care Tiger, old friend.....and all friends here :hug2:....really grateful that the owner still runs this site after that many years......

    Cya soon again

    Hi,
    I did two versions of one of my all time favorite songs.
    The original is here:


    I "trained " a music AI using its sister AI it so I was able to make another version of it. I have rewritten the lyrics almost completely. The original lyrics are in Russian, English and Latin.

    Here is my version:

    Code:
    [Verse 1]
    Energies and frequencies, present all the time
    Coming from far Galaxies into our minds
    Is it just me who feels that call?
    What should I do to avoid my fall?
    
    [Chorus 1]
    Watch it in awe, watch it in awe
    Spiritual glory, spiritual glory
    Watch it in awe, watch it in awe
    Spiritual glory, spiritual glory
    
    [Chorus 2]
    I am calling, calling...
    Energies rise and fall...
    Can't stand this any longer…
    Calling, calling, broken down and falling...
    Can't stand this any longer…
    
    [Chorus 1]
    Watch it in awe, watch it in awe
    Spiritual glory, spiritual glory
    
    [Verse 2]
    Being alone…
    Can't remember when life had a meaning…
    Being alone…
    Nothing is real anymore and all...
    
    [Verse 3]
    Endless run…
    how to learn to dream, to love...
    An endless run….
    I don't know what to do...
    
    [Verse 4]
    Calling, calling, I call for the place...of knowing
    There's more than our minds can grasp
    Calling, calling now, I never will look away...for what life has left for me
    
    [Verse 5]
    Trying, trying, for what's left worth loving
    Can't stand this any longer...
    Calling, calling, energies rise and fall…
    Can't stand this any longer...
    Trying, trying, for what's left worth love...
    Can't stand this any longer...
    
    [Chorus 1]
    Watch it in awe, watch it in awe
    Spuritual glory, spiritual glory
    Watch it in awe, watch it in awe
    Spiritual glory, spiritual glory
    
    And my two covers:

    It is fascinating what AI can do.

    Recently I was busy doing a short video with dialogues, which I cannot post here at the public. (NSFW) When creating it I also tried if and how it could be censored....it is actually not, the paid AI models are, open source rather not. It's nothing about violence, but let's say "full anatomy"....no porn either, though.
    When I started with it I did not know about the outcome, it just worked and felt natural to my surprise, so I left it as it is and did no PG-13 version of it. ATM I have no new idea, but I learned a lot for future projects.....:)

    Cya again
