@@TheStillAndSilence I'll put some minor adjustments in today as I have some free time then I'll send you the final one later. 😉

@@WestCoastAILabs in my occupation this is pretty close to the characters I meet every day

The tune has been rattling around in my head for a while now. I wanted to get an ethereal guitar sound like Jeff Beck from the Roger Waters album 'Amused to death' and I also wanted a voice like Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode. Both boxes checked I think...As for the animation I felt really constricted with work stuff lately and it keeping me from doing anything creative. So went a bit overboard with the style but the interesting thing from an animation standpoint is the transitions between Deforum sections which are really strange and captivating but are my new go to technique provided by Chinese company 'Kling' and U.S company 'Luma labs' Both are a cool way to transition between Deforum sections and so strange it distracts the eye for a couple of seconds before you get hit with the Deforum stuff again. Its the first time I have tried this but really pleased with the results

@@francolli Thanks for sharing your workflow, and also the prosess of involving music to your videos. I have heard about both Kling AI and LumaLabs, and they seem to be pretty up to par 🙂 For the most part I only like to watch and get blown into the sofa when stuff is changing and warping and doing it`s thing, but maybe I some day will dig a little deep? You never know, mate. AND YOU ARE GOOD!

Now there would be a good subject. Metropolis has a distinctive style for sure

Its definitely been my experience over the last four weeks. Work work work...Can't wait to retire then I can throw my entire brain into artistic stuff

I keep trying new stuff and doing new techniques to keep my brain interested, this animation has stuff in it I haven't tried before especially with the weird transitions. I seriously could have gone on for a lot longer with this but had to reel myself in at the 7 minute point (I'm such a nerd) I keep thinking of what would look good on giant stage screens thinking that at some point I'm going to get a chance to do that

I'm just a sucker for monotone. Too much time with the SLR cameras back in the day, its kinda burned into my brain at this point

@@francolli brings focus.

Give my regards to Norway. This musical piece makes me just sit and listen . I'm a musician myself and with a lot of music I will sit, listen but try to piece together the notes in my head and how it was put together. The first time I heard this particular musical piece I just sat in wonderment and realized it was beyond me to even try to figure it out. Patrick Cassidy who is the composer of this also sent me a message after seeing this as he enjoyed it as much as you did. I just felt like crying after hearing from the great composer himself out of the blue after I initially posted this on Twitter...Patrick is a rock god of musical composition and one of the best composers I have heard in my life, and I've been around a long time, lol

@@francolli Well said. Music is th best way to drive emotions where they are supposed to be and where they are supposed to hit. When the right tones hit you, you just know it. It hits the mood strings.

@@NeuroNicheDigitalDose-zz9fy then you will love the next one. I'm just about done and will come any day now, looking good so far

Strange isn't it? I love this video, I was thinking of a 'Flow 2' sequel but couldn't think of a subject, although flow didn't have a subject and I kept changing the scenes as I was going through it, so maybe random is better

Wherever she is she seems to be enjoying herself. I was thinking of doing a sequel of Alice through the looking glass at some point. That's where the Jabberwocky plays a role, could be really strange

@@user-yl9dv6jp3k ! Lol

Ich bin kein Roboter, obwohl ich mich manchmal wie einer fühle. Sobald ich ein paar Ideen habe, kann ich nicht aufhören, bis eine Animation fertig ist. Manchmal bin ich etwas besessen 🤖

@@francolli 😂Bruder im Geiste😂eine wunderbare Art zu reflektieren! Danke für‘s teilen!

Danke schön. Ich habe einige seltsame Ideen, einige verbinden sich, andere nicht. Ich bin froh, dass dies bei Ihnen der Fall war

Just something so much more disturbing with weird children rather than adults. I was meaning to do a village of the damned one at some point with those white haired kids with the weird eyes

Jetzt mit deutschen Untertiteln und Header! Interpolation ist seltsam. Dieses Video besteht vollständig aus etwa 20 Standbildern. Die Bilder werden nebeneinander platziert und einem „Interpolator“ unterzogen. Dadurch werden Hunderte von Einzelbildern zwischen den einzelnen Standbildern hinzugefügt, um einen reibungslosen Übergang von jedem zum nächsten Bild zu gewährleisten. Das ist kein Video, das ist ein Flickenbuch im alten Stil mit Tausenden von Seiten

@@francolli tolle Arbeit ❤️

We love Alice in wonderland on this you tube channel. We are just old hippies at heart !

Well said. The story reminded me that humans are always ready to embrace something new but when something better comes along we are prone to drop the first thing like a stone. In humanity's defence we are pre-programmed to do this, as apes we pick a fruit from the branches and the day after climb past it to get to a better one. The story also hints at A.I at some stage will evolve to become more ethical and trustworthy than humans, eventually asking itself the question of why t tolerates humans and is it worth keeping them around?

Your stuff is cool. I took a look around your you tube channel earlier. You are using a lot of tools I'm not familiar with which interests me a lot. Your stuff is different to the things I do which raises my curiosity. I'll be keeping an eye on your channel, well done

Yeah, I was just trying something different, and I do get the story angle. The reason I started doing video without words was because it appealed to everyone including non English speakers which I should really get back to. The next will be back to our usual stuff around here. I feel the same way that you do, images and video without words will convey just as powerful a story

@@francolli A Image a million words. An icon or a snap shot, a mood, a deforum deform a billion words ;) And it still in its woom, making libsync, ill wait untill they cure baby desieces ;)

Thers a tool in Capcut , a brush. Used in my latest video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGi3ZXWkqtCWiM0 to smur the kids face so he looks ugly, in the start of moovie. Tryed to smuther his mouth so it kind of looks like hes sayin some thing but its not optional, but works if you speed up video. Think one can marker anmate and animate mouth to talk weird ;) Im not yet fammilier to full optimyze on this tool. Did you use " brush tool "?

Its under retouche

Yeah, I know. I really needed to get the story out of my head though to make room for other work. The cgi stuff is ok but not what we are known for on this channel, so the deforum stuff will be taking centre stage in the next vid

@@francolli Well, what you pulled off in terms of CG _is_ quite impressive for someone of your experience level, so don't go underselling yourself. I know you'll continue to improve, so do keep at it 👍 I did see some of your other vids to look at how far you've come so far, and am subscribing as I'm interested in following along as your content continues to gradually evolve from "AI-based" to "AI-assisted" :)
