    Have a great day, Sean. I don't know what the weather is like in your neck of the woods but it's sunny here in northern Utah..

    CelticRambler, sorry to read you got hassled by some customs officers. This isn't about classifying people. It's about sharing opinions. Just opinions. There really are some people in the world who still believe that conversation is good and sharing opinions is good. You brought up a good...

    What is an artist?

    Sean, You're taking my words out of context. I said that until we define what art is, the conversation has no point. That merely means that I wanted to shift focus from 'what is an artist?' to 'what is art?' Indietalk, I really don't understand. You say nothing when one of your moderators...

    What is an artist?

    It was just a conversation, my friend. No need to take offense. Did you ever read the book 'Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance'? There was a similar conversation there. The protagonist spent a lot of time trying to define quality. What is quality?.. It eventually drove him mad. I am...

    What is an artist?

    Thanks, Nate. I took it down because I felt I was getting off track with the subject. I was thinking, this thread started off on the wrong foot. I asked 'what is an artist?'. That is to say, what makes a person an artist. I could also ask 'who is an artist?'. That's a different question...

    To be evocative is an important attribute that artists have.

    Just an idea, but go out and get a bunch of shot of automobile traffic. Maybe start by showing roads with no cars then lead into really congested areas. Try to make a statement.

    What is an artist?

    Have you ever heard someone say about the thing they do, whether it's painting or sculpting or playing music or making movies that they do it because they have to. To me, that is very telling. It IS one of those things that makes a person an artist. They have to. They may not even want to some...

    What is an artist?

    Right. Agreed.. and there is no decision to get off the main road. It's just a natural extension of the person. Eddie Van Halen was a gifted guitarist. An innovative musician. An artist. He didn't have a guitar teacher. He taught himself. In an interview he said the reason he plays the way he...

    What is an artist?

    Defining what is an artist is very much like trying to define philosophy. In contemporary use, philosophy is nothing more that someone's views pertaining to an area life; Your philosophy of business, of driving a car, of raising your kids. Both words have the same problem too. since everyone...

    What is an artist?

    It's like asking 'what is love'? From my experience the word artist means different things to different people. For some, anyone who picks up a paint brush or lump of clay and creates something is an artist. For others, the creation needs to show signs of skill or talent before the title is...

    Just curious. Are you waiting for the technology to fully develop or is this something separate from your main project? (sorry, I can never remember the name,,, the one with the cat)

    The stills I posted were just for comparison. No judgement. I know what you mean though. It's like when I show someone something that's in the development stage but they think it's the finished product.. AI nodes. That makes sense to me. Need to solve a problem? plug in the right node. To...

    So, where are we right now. The AI seems to be reproducing the image as close to original as it can. I was thinking that it was trying to do something to the image. Was this a single video you fed it or a bunch of layers that the AI put together?

    Nate, can you post a clip that shows the original footage then the AI processed footage? I'm kind of curious just how much influence the AI has over the look. I imagine is much more than, say, a LUT.
