Will I get better videos this time? Let's twirl around inside and see!
Well, this has definitely been a mixed bag for using an AI tool that I saw on deviant art .. and maybe their prompts are way better than mine, their images are better .. or perhaps they are paying for something, while I'm trying it out free.
Here's the 1st prompt:
Due to the special video camera capturing their image, the blonde in the bikini steals the height of her boyfriend, and she ends up being even taller than he was originally, since he's now only going to be 4'11" tall afterwards.
Thought that might be interesting to see, as it should not be too hard to show in the 6 seconds a free account can generate. And the image was great for the prompt, showing a huge disparity that would make for a good video, in the before AND after. Here's what it gave me!
To be honest, this thing made me laugh SOOOOO hard. I don't think I could have made a video like this with 2,000 words for a prompt. "Ok, I want him to compress while levitating so he has pants up to his nipples while jumping, then I want him to sink into the ground while she disappears!"
So I changed up the prompt, making it simpler, and went with, "Using magic, the blonde in the bikini swap her height with her boyfriend." and this is what it generated.
Much more normal, though it didn't really swap their heights. It made her a bit taller, and he just stepped back.
Figured maybe I would make something more subtle to take advantage of what is still limited technology, so I uploaded a picture of 2 girls in bikinis and used a simple prompt of, "The girl on the left covers her face in embarrassment over something the girl on the right said about her." .. maybe for use in a TG caption or short where the transformed boyfriend is humiliated by his ex at a beach or waterpark.
This one started of ok .. but then the transformed boyfriend ended up with a tan like she was possessed by Hulk Hogan, then her ex-girlfriend's face ended up getting pinched in the end. Yikes!
Wow, this one came out quite well. I'd probably use it in a TG caption, and not have any qualms about it.
Lastly, I wanted to see how well it did motion, so I uploaded this picture, and asked it to make a video that about her that, "She's so excited about her outfit, that she does a complete 360 degree twirl.
It went about as well as expected. There is definitely a "residue" of legs from previous renders as she's spinning around, and at some point, the model turns vaguely Asian. It's not too shabby, but once again shows some of the issues with AI in general.
In conclusion, there is still a long way to go. It can be fun to play around with a bit, but it's truly a crap shoot as to whether it will make something that looks normal. And if you are paying for the service, I can't imagine how much money you could spend before you get something you actually would want to watch.
That first one was '90s video game glitch level of ridiculous, and I admit, it made me chuckle. I'm not sold on AI though, I think it's a neat toy, but I can't see it replacing anything personally. Especially with how much it takes to make anything worth using.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could agree with you in thinking that it can't replace anything. But right now if a film maker (TV, movie, commercial, promotional...) wants a short scene it costs them thousands of dollars in studio/location fees, actors, film/digital processing, and editing. Sure, a good AI system might cost the same, but they can play with it and get exactly what they want all while cutting out the camera operators, actors, editors, and other professionals.
DeleteIt's not there yet. But we've already seen professional studios try to use still AI images to get around paying all the other professionals. It won't be long until they're doing it with the video too.
This didn’t work so well - try to play and it was really choppy and didn’t play consistently.
ReplyDeleteI think the video AI stuff is doing much better when it creates from scratch, rather than an existing image. It's hard for the system to know what the physical reality is in a static image that it didn't create itself.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, these aren't bad. It's frightening how far they've come in such a short period of time. I could certainly see that 2nd bikini picture/video making a cute caption!
