in these trying times, internet friends and acquaintances, I can offer you naught but this nearly-5 minute reprieve from reality. a compilation of some fun playful clips, music by purgatory travel guide

This was a nice distraction. I was testing out a bunch o' stuff. Body movement, obviously, but also textile movements, the way fabrics move. I was also checking out light & shadow, how light & shadow falls/moves across the body, contrasts muscle tone, how sweaty skin reacts to lighting and movement, and, of course, costumes. I also haven't done much with vertical video, aside from the Extraterrestrial Zoological League shorts, and I'd like to do more vertical video, so I thought this would be good practice.

Hands/fingers still fuck up, but that wasn't my concern with these tests, and I'm guessing most people are probably looking elsewhere, anyhow.

Desert Jaunt (classic Spacetime Sally)

Behind The Scenes Stuff: Hello! So, this was a testing-out of various things. (This is also a fantastic method of escapism, I might add. Create your own world, disappear into it, disengage from this one, develop a mild psychosis, slip into a fugue state, come to in another city... That was a rough weekend, but I sure made a lot of friends.)

SO! First off, I used whatever I had on hand. This wasn't particularly well planned out.

I already had the lobby/foyer image on the left, so I had RunwayAI "imagine" what the outside of this building might look like, which gave me the image on the right.

I take the new exterior shot of the station and put it in an urban area, the image on the left (which I already had), to create the image on the right.

I had RunwayAI "imagine" the underground train/subway platform beneath the station, and then the train running through the city, using the new images I've created.

I already had a number of these desert landscapes to use, so I did the same, by plopping the station down into the desert environmental setting. And then plopping the train down into various desert scenes.

This was just some kind of lounge/commons area image I had. It doesn't match the outside of the train very well, but that wasn't my concern here. All the images of Sally on the train were generated through this one image. The shots of her on the train were just to practice with mild reaction shots, quiet moments, and just try to set an ambiance of a mood. The hiking through the desert shots that followed were more about movement within the environment and how her body reacted to her movements, like the bounce of her hair or other parts which may bounce while hiking a rough terrain.

I had to generate an eclipse image for the last shot. I mixed this one with one of the desert scenes to create the last shot with the pink clouds. That was something I had wanted to test out, as well - How would it handle a celestial event?

I've been hoping to do this for a while, now. For those of you who have been following along since the beginning, here ya' go. I hope it's something like you imagined because this is how I always envisioned it. - Extended Spacetime Sally Intro. Very extended. Pretty much a music video.

I do apologize for the corny joke, it's kinda like Welcome Back, Kotter and Buck Rogers and Charlie's Angels all got mashed-up into a bad 70s sci-fi TV show. Yeah, I'm sorta kinda old just like my references. But, listen to that- A voice!

Whoa! Who tha fuck are you?!?! This shit always creeps me out. Sometimes the AI gets a little overzealous during imagination time. The "camera" was just supposed to follow the high-speed train rolling through the desert... Then these two jabronis cut in (with quite the stylish transition, I'll give 'em that). Idk who the eff they are. They seem happy and pleasant enough. They seem to be talking over each other, but if you just popped into existence, you might have an impulsive thing or two to say.

Well, Godspeed, my non-existent AI-imagined jabronis, may your journey take you far!
