FIRE IN PARADISE

The hottest party this summer!

I’ve been on a bit of a Grok bender over the last few days and done quite a bit of stuff. I pasted in some of my artwork into GrokImagine to see what came out and the results are pretty cool. Grok AI has a surreal quality that I like and has become my new collaborator!

I’ve made a Trailer and an Advert for Fire In Paradise as well as a few other things which are in the video I’ve uploaded. I’ve brought my artwork to life for Epstein’s Wacky Races, The Covid Beatles and one of my favourites Crunts! Unfortunately I can’t upload videos directly to my blog so I had to bung all the short clips onto one video. You can watch them individually on my X account though (see link at bottom).

Fire In Paradise and other Delights

The Trailer bears very little resemblance to the script synopsis I did for FIRE IN PARADISE but then again I only had 4 images I could use plus one I created for the poster. I couldn’t get the Stephen Hawking image to work but Grok gave me some interesting alternatives to use. The poster took me almost as long as the video to make, about 2 days, but this led to the advert being created and the end shot in the Trailer.

Branching Out

Pump! Pump! Pump it up!

I re-titled it ‘Branching Out’ but kept the other title as well as a subtitle, or vice versa. The music is by Piero Umiliani who is best known for ‘Mah na mah na’, The Muppets song and this song is in a similar vein.

I’d been dabbling on Grok a bit recently and this is my first video using AI tech. The clips it produces are about 5 seconds long so I did about 30 and picked the best ones. I couldn’t get it to do any reverse angles or anything fancy so it gets a bit repetitive. I pasted a still image of the snowy woods in and gave it some commands and it all came to life, pretty amazing really. If you press the ‘Fun’ option it all goes seriously weird like some Daliesque acid trip, so I put some of that in too.

Pump End

Take my hand,
and I’ll lead you to a land,
to a strange and snowy dell,
where the BALLOON animals dwell…

coming soon

I’ve made a NEW video! It’s set to music and was made with Grok Imagine AI software, the one you access on X. It’s called ‘Terror At PUMP END’. I’ll upload it soon, brace yourselves.
