“Congratulations! You are dead” Is an informational video that was designed to answer any questions one might have about what happens after death. In this video we will cover the basics of afterlife assignment as well as help guide you through the process of karmic judgment! Don't be overwhelmed, we have developed a fool-proof system for assessment and we look forward to processing your soul so that you will receive the afterlife you deserve. Good luck! I created this short film for the @runwayapp Artificial Intelligence Film Festival 2024. I set out to use as many AI techniques as possible to try and teach myself how to incorporate them into a plausible workflow. I developed this grainy treatment in AE for the footage to give it a hazy, old memory type of feel. I used Runway and Midjourney to create most of the footage, the exceptions being the motion graphics and the final shot during the credits. I used Runway's AI voice simulator for the voice over, and AI music software @suno_ai_ to craft some of the score. ChatGPT helped with the script, and I also used AI tools for the 3D portion of the footage. I tried out a software from @blockadelabs called Skybox to create HDRIs which I rendered in Cinema4D as the backgrounds for certain clips. Big thanks to @thesecretmuseumofmankind for all the support and help! Beep boop enjoy! #Film #filmfestival #aiff2024 #shortfilm #3D #mdcommunity #motiondesign #aifilm

Set in the eerie, silent world beneath the ocean's surface, ‘Crystal Abyss: Secrets of the Deep’ takes us on a journey to meet the many creatures that may or may not live in the darkest parts of the ocean. Some are cute, others a bit creepy, but all are worth your attention! 🐙 I thuroughly enjoyed incorporating AI footage with my 3D work for this project. I liked trying to blend both my renders and the footage I created using @runwayapp into one cohesive film. Also, using AI to ideate sometimes felt as surprising and unexpected as deep sea life! I had a blast making these shots come alive in AE 😀 This film serves as a tribute to the boundless marvels of the ocean. It is a homage to the ocean's role as Earth's last great frontier, a realm that continues to captivate our imaginations and challenge our understanding of life in all its forms. Created for @designTO 's 2024 festival, which opens today until the 28th of Jan! Check out their site cuz this year's festival is a powerhouse :D #3D #3Danimation #AI #Aifilm #aianimation #runwayai #film #shortanimation #designTO #festival #ocean

A lil visual I put together for the amazing @bliptor2.0 and his super cool party @cmooooonsis back in December. I became obsessed with the render I made of the female figure walking and tried out all these different colour treatments, and honestly I could have posted more variations but stopped at 6 haha. If I could pick my look IRL like a video game avatar I would definitely choose holographic glass skin every time 🌈💎 #3danimation #flyerdesign #cinema4d #3d #animation

Co-producing with @utopai_studios , Emily Switzer presents: CELLS IN LOVE. I had a lot of fun with this one! I created this short animation using Utopai's PAI, an A.I video generator designed specifically with story telling in mind. Once I settled on my concept and style, I wrote out story beats that PAI turned into a script, and from there we were off to the races. It first generated keyframes before creating shots from the keyframes, and even suggested some additional B-roll. I like having the ability to change my mind, so seeing all my videos laid out in a 'history' tab which I can go in and edit is an extra bonus haha. Overall it was a very film-maker friendly process imo. I love the self contained beauty of the microscopic realm. So weird and abstract already. Like what do you mean we're all made up of these living building blocks with their own minds?! It really is a world within a world within a world within etc etc.👾🩵🧡 Check out the link in my bio to try the tool yourself! #ad #UtopaiPartners #CreateWithPai #CommissionEarned #PaiStories . .

Thank you to @frequencies_ for hosting such a magical show over the holidays! Yours truly did a B2B visual remix with the excellent and talented @a.melv ! What a fun experiment to see our stuff interacting live! Swipe to see the solo clips I created in @touchdesigner , inspired by snowflakes ❄️ Each visual has audio-reactive elements that pulse in time with the music. Swipe even further to see the lineup of amazing artists that played the show! What a treat to work with these local legends 💜 👏 ✨️ Performances by: @measure.music @w0lfgray @xukasia @plastic.heart.surgery @ninechecker @gruvecollective @joshgrantjosh #vj #concertvisuals #audioreactive #touchdesignercommunity #touchdesigner

What's the big deal with this little plant? Swipe through to read more from Nava Brimble's Species Feature article from Issue 2, illustrated by Emily Switzer. #Conservation #GreatLakes #Ontario #Botany ——— Slide 1: An illustration of the green fronds of a Hart's Tongue Fern with a heading overlaid on top in a white, pixelated font that says "American' Hart's Tongue Fern." Surrounding the plant are sparkly balls of floating light. At the bottom is small text referencing Nava Brimble as writer and Emily Switzer as illustrator. Slide 2: White text on black background reads "What’s the big deal with this little plant? At first glance, the American Hart’s-Tongue Fern is a pretty inconspicuous plant. It’s easy to be too distracted looking up at the towering old growth above to notice that one of the coolest little plants is right at your feet! When you think of a fern, what comes to mind? Most people think of a large and very divided (compound) leaf, but in fact many fern species, like the American Hart’s-Tongue Fern, have undivided (simple) leaves (fronds)." Slide 3: "Where Can You Find Them? Within Canada this fern is found only in Ontario, more specifically in the Niagara Escarpment region. This is because American Hart’s-Tongue Fern requires a highly specific habitat. They are typically found on mossy rocky outcrops and slopes alongside the escarpment of the Saugeen Peninsula and stretch down South to Mt. Nemo in Halton, Ontario. These ferns require a moist microclimate for reproduction, often found in deciduous maple-beech forests with dense canopy coverage." Slide 4: "How to ID American Hart’s-Tongue Fern is a distinct plant with smooth, leathery green fronds that are 20–40 cm long. The wavy edges of the fronds are entire, meaning they are smooth and not serrated. If you happen to be wandering this fern’s habitat in the winter, you may be surprised to see their green leaves peeking out from under the snow, which acts like a blanket that keeps them safe from freeze-related damage and is essential for their survival through the cold months."

The second time I ever did live visuals for a musical event, and I loved it! Extra thanks to @ted_kennedy of @frequencies_ fame, who invited me to create something special for his EP release earlier in October. This was the result! I generated videos of bouquets exploding into flames in @dreamina_ai , then I took everything into @touchdesigner where I used the video's depth maps to create the particles. Swipe to see some vids from the show and the original videos driving the effects. Thank you @nicholaspjm for the tut, and to the amazing artists who performed that night! . . . #touchdesignercommunity #touchdesigner #vj #livevisuals #touchdesignerlearning #motiongraphics

Commemorating my 300th post on IG with this self portrait. Look at me Ma, I brought my own skeleton. 💀👻 I've been itching to make this for a while. I really just wanted to see a skeleton walking around in my clothes. I thought it'd be cool to see a big variety of backgrounds in different styles too. I decided to try and tackle it in A.I to try and make sense of the tools in a 3D pipeline. My method was to generate a very basic render, and then use it as an input video for style transfer. I would get that first version from A.I, then swap the original playblast version for it, and then do it again and again until the A.I had essentially cannibalized itself enough to give me some interesting results. I used @runwayapp for that part! Took the animation into @touchdesigner to create the swirling particles clip. Swipe to see my network set up and a playblast from inside @substance3dart painter which i used for the outfit. Animated the skeleton with @adobe Mixamo, @maxonvfx C4D/ Redshift for final animation and rendering. Outfit created in @itsclo3d , textures generated in Substance. Final edit in Aftereffects. Did I use enough software to be considered a real artist yet?? Did anyone read this far down? . . . #touchdesigner #touchdesignercommunity #touchdesignerlearning #adobe #c4d #cinema4d #redshift #redshift3d #substancepainter #characteranimation #animation #itsnicethat #clo3d #aftereffects @itsnicethat #runwayai #mfdoom
