    Composition of this strange piece was driven by a few goals. esthetic beauty is a default for me, Having trained for many years in color and composition. I won't always hit the nail on the head like this because that would be boring, But I didn't see any harm in making it look nice this time...

    screenplay Screenplay narrator

    In many respects 11 labs is currently the best in class for artificial voices. In terms of automated performance of an entire screenplay there's really nothing out there that's going to give you something usable for a final product, But you can use eleven labs voice to speech (not text to...

    Clothworld Trailer 1

    I tried it, back when I was actually making the footage for this. It's no problem to make whatever texture or pattern I need, so I tried everything at first, every type of fabric, every type of pattern. Just artistically, the patterns stole focus from the scenes, and made it a lot harder to...

    Clothworld Trailer 1

    Thanks! Good eye on the color matching. I didn't intentionally homogenize it exactly, but I've been kind of leaning towards the Ron Fricke aesthetic through this one. Sometimes when you're trying to dial everything in too much it shows up in the long run as "too even". Most of his stuff is...

    Clothworld Trailer 1

    This was a development subproject built to help me advance the save point pipeline from version 8.9 to 9.1. It's a 90 minute feature film. It's a non narrative art film. It's a completely different movie every time you watch it. The film intelligently rebuilds itself, Internally making...

    actors Richard Chamberlain, RIP.

    Sorry to hear he's gone, I really enjoyed his work in the original Shogun, It was one of my favorite pieces of 80s television. I think I've watched it about ten times.

    I'm grinding away at this huge job of implementing something with the catchy name of "timing map based temporal quantized scan comparison chaining paired with feature point cloud extraction as a reference for thin plate spline model implementation" I think I'm about halfway to getting it to...

    Thanks, I appreciate the information.

    music Questions about music clearance for film?

    Thanks. That sounds like a pretty close match to what I'd been hearing. I'm guessing there are no reasonably priced minor music licenses or rates that scale down to practical levels. Just out of curiosity, could you give a ballpark figure as to what it would cost an indie filmmaker to...

    music Questions about music clearance for film?

    Sure, I've had a question that I've been wondering about for awhile and had little luck researching. I'm interested in licensing lesser known commercial music for lower budget projects and haven't been able to find a service that can sell me relatively inexpensive licenses for a minor use...

    I started off doing a lot of classic blues stuff, but moving forward with this one I'm planning to do a lot more "experimental techno industrial future bass blues hybrid" stuff. I like mixing genres, when it works. I thought mixing a bit of ministry in with acoustic slide would be cool in that...

    Blue steel was the first test project once I got the "infinitization" Tech up and running for the first time. There's a whole channel of it with three albums worth of material and videos for each song. https://www.youtube.com/@BlueSteelOfficial-m4l I still haven't got the functionality...

    critique Leopold Augustus Bach

    I like these recordings a lot, I just have a hard time getting enthusiastic about them these days, Not because they are spectacular, Which they are, But because these Glenn Gould recordings got played on auto repeat until the vinyl wore out and my house from 1980 to 1995. Dad was once a...

    There's plenty of art to be found in the exact articulation of cinematography and editing, But that's just one side of the coin, On the other side...... It was about 2010 and I was gathering up a lot of professional source material, And during that time which is when the very first spark of...

    ai Sora (Video Generator) Now Available to Public

    Just an update, Sora is still basically unusable, in 4th place out of 4 major contenders. But the same package includes O3-mini-high, which is phenomenal. Anyway, if anyone wants me to run a few Sora prompts for them, I can, I pay for the service but don't use it. I have tons of monthly...

    Filing a real patent application cost me $25,000 last time I did it. You can file for a patent pending pretty much for free but the patent system has been badly overloaded by patent trolls and corporation legal teams basically grid marching against every possible word combination to lock out...

    Ghost Forest

    Right now development speed is moving so fast due to more powerful tools becoming available, That I'm producing one submodule or another for my main program that does some tasks like you're talking about, about every two or three days. I've thought about breaking off some of these modules and...
