Part 2 of visualizing my nightmares.
This sequence is my second attempt at blending multiple AI image generation tools with my go-to Adobe programs. This piece was conceptualized and produced by myself. Footage was realized through MidJourney image & video generator. Compositing was completed in After Effects before resolution was increased in Topaz.
Concepting
I have been unimpressed by the hi-resolution 5sec, soupy video most tools generate. In order to overcome the messiness of AI video generation, I believe you have to lean into the grittiness of lo-fi concepts. A cheap horror film aesthetic from the 1970’s seemed to fit the bill.
Like previous generative work, the best results came from confusing the tool.
