I am putting the robot image generators through their paces and having a blast.

Turn around on this was a few weeks elapsed pre-production and about 12 hours of editing.

Relative to $ per second, this is nuts.

This was NOT the video I was planning on making, having used Dall-E and Runway (the online robots) to great effect on Liquidator, where it really turned out similarly to my shotlist/storyboard/mental picture, this video was made using left over 'credits' on the robot generator.

I wound up have to buy extra cos I got to 95% and went screw it, i wanna do it, so I did.

These things still suck at Narrative cos they can't maintain a consistent model at present, or at least that's not available to the public. Everytime a scene/image is generated, it starts from scratch. It doesn't 'know', it's still clockwork. Fancy clockwork and eventually maybe even so advanced we can't tell, and passes the Turing test/Voight Kampf test, but meanwhile it still needs the squishy meat parts to make it all work.

Liquidator worked well cos a gasmask is an easy trompe de l'oeil. This clip well...not so much.

Following the wise saying 'let thy limitations be thine art', and our more general interpretation of 'do what you can with what you got, while you can' and add to it 'as often as possible' and well, here we are.

Since we started I have done live action, animation, CGI, LLM generation and now Robot Animation. If there's one consistent thing? BUTTONS!!! Yay! Newwww butttons! What does this do??

Hmm...anyway Imma do Juggernaut as a video project. Yeah thought I'd mention that. Also? I got an album to finish, we are on ross fears show in early feb so we have a deadline.

Welcome to 2025, batten down the hatches kids it's gonna be a dooozey.

OMG i wannnnnaaa make a clip for liquidator so baddd. I realised I have been doing multimedia clips for quite some time now. I've done live action, cgi, animation, experimental, ChatGPT based image generation ( I still resist calling it an intelligence), and now machine generated video.

I'm gonna see how I go.

Meanwhile, I am listening to 4 mastering samples and reviewing what I think I know.

I feel more comfortable with the process and it does seem like some more mixing is due on stuff that has already gone out as a single.

Nutshell - most music is gonna be streamed. Just how it is. Cd's are an on again off again things for me. I kinda like'em tho.

We pretty much know the majority of time people will come into contact with us are on YT. Spotify? well... I have thoughts.

The map is not the territory, so to speak. Meanwhile, what's going well is the ability to produce material at a rate that suits us. That's also a modern factor, perhaps one of the first times artists have been able to just get on with it.

That opportunity needs to be met with the practical aspects of getting it done. And so.

Once my singles are put to bed, then it's onto finishing the remainder. I have more than one idea of how this collection of songs could be structured, the answer isn't with us yet.

Taking a minute to do a video would be a welcome change of pace.
