Inspired by the HBO’s new season of “True Detective” I generated this mood film to test out the multi motion brush features of Gen AI video platform “Runway”.

I tried to push photorealism as much as possible with these portraits. It’s actually not that easy to force midjourney to create an appealing blend of the human and animal as Midjourney wants to generate one or the other.

I created and instagram account with these portraits that became somewhat popular.

The multitude of tools, options and settings to play with make it increasingly time-consuming to create these images. But it’s also incredibly exciting and satisfying.

Here are some examples of some rather random personal work.

This AI generated film is a fake spec ad and not an official Honda advertisement. Hondas tagline “The Power of Dreams” got me thinking about dreamlike landscapes and how easy it is to generate those with AI.

One weekend I rewatched Kevin Costner’s "Prince of Thieves" and finally got around trying out the the latest “Runway ML” features. Higher resolution and higher fidelity. Wow.

The result of some hours of tinkering with different settings and adding particle effects in After Effects was this trailer for some dystopian version of “Robin Hood”. Maybe?

I created this mood film to pitch a possible horror-short-film-series to a new AI film start-up. 

They liked the “Werner Herzog meets The Thing” vibes and it looks like we are producing 5 short episodes set in this world. 

This is a mix of “dream machine” shots by Luma AI in the first half and “Gen-3” by Runway in the second

I was always more interested in photorealistic images instead of fantastical worlds and trying to see when and where this technology will be ready to be used in branding and culture. It’s probably much sooner than we think.

Sometimes a wrong prompt gives you something unexpected and leads you down some dark paths.
