Midjourney movie stills and posters from the latest video! (Patreon)

Hey all!

A Patreon supporter gave me the idea of throwing these on here for you all to have as a nice bonus, so here they are!

Here's the video if you missed it - https://youtu.be/gVD-zD4vJGw 

Midjourney and other image generating AI are super fun to mess around with, but at the same time I don't think I've seen any truly compelling uses for them. They're cool in a bubble, insanely impressive in fact, but I've yet to see them used for telling stories and/or conveying emotion in a new and exciting way. This video was my first swing at it, though I don't think it's quite equivalent to what I managed with a tool like EbSynth. EbSynth opened up so much storytelling potential and unique visuals for me, whereas Midjourney just allowed me to make a goofy parody video this time. I'll pursue further ideas with AI if they come, but ultimately I just considered this a fun lil experiment.

I've included a few cut stills and title cards at the end. I had a lot of fun making the title cards, but these AI systems are notoriously bad at text right now which made it very finnicky. 1 out of every 30 would get the words remotely right and then from there it was all refining through variations. I made a rule that I couldn't edit/photoshop anything myself and had to get the results right out of Midjourney. Some I could never get quite right, I really wanted it to say "Hard Life of Zack and Cody" but it was simply too much so I accepted "Hard Life".

Thank you so much for the continued support. Hope you're having a nice week.

Love, Joel
