Streetopia - Get Out Of Reet | A Generative AI Video Made In Kaiber
Streetopia - Get Out Of Reet 🎬
Blog post:
Introducing the initial installment of an evolving tale brought to life by Generative AI. This captivating narrative has emerged from numerous poorman experiments and showcases the potential for an ongoing series of bite-sized episodes, each lasting under a minute.
How I did do it?
1. All 3-4 shots of me are on green screen.
2. Backgrounds were created in a photo editor using stock pictures. Mostly stitched. Different aspect ratios.
3. I downloaded static 3D models & Animated models (greenscreen/alpha) and played with them in my motion graphics editor. Filled in some storefront windows with more videos.
4. Did some masking magic, camera movement, and played with layers and depth... for example, I masked the sky to add a storm and t-rex 🦖
5. Sent individual clips to @KaiberAI (in 4k)
6. Exported favorite renders (in 4k) and sent them to my video editor for choppin’, sound design (poppin’), and voiceover (in 4k).
See thread for examples.
Challenges:
• I was lucky with frame consistency. Except for the wide shot that fuzzed my face (me on the couch). I re-did the shot on Kaiber in a close-up and manually key-framed my face on that wide shot.
• I couldn’t do much about the buggy eyes in the last clip.
How long did it take:
• A day and a half with tons of happy accidents
• How long will it take you? Probably much longer if you don’t know how to shoot, edit, design, composite, edit sound, or know where to look for assets. But it’s not impossible!
What’s the plan?
To continue the story while still learning and experimenting along the way. This is a much longer process. Very tiring. Might try doing it weekly or bi-weekly.
What’s the story about?
In the quest to escape Reet, everyone yearns for freedom. Ricardo, however, carries a hint of cynicism. He finds pleasure in the disorder and may seem reluctant to lend a hand. Nevertheless, the encounters with diverse characters along his odyssey will ignite a transformation within him, although not without challenges. Gradually, he will come to realize the profound truth: “Helping others is away is a way of helping ourselves.“
