TH-   THIS IS MY HOLE! 
IT WAS MADE FOR ME! 
 
Back at it again, this time using #dreamwombo #AI and the text prompt: 
"Sillhouette dug into the side of a cliff" 
to generate a 'realistic' sequence of 7 slightly altered versions of the same image; a frame taken from the iconic short story horror manga by #junjiito - #theenigmaofamigarafault

The next step was to run these stylised 720p images through the recently released neural network project by #googleresearch 'FILM: Frame Interpolation for Large Motion' to produce hundreds of spatially aware interpolated frames. In this case, forcing the algorithm to imagine the differences between each of the 7 images to generate unique 'in-between' frames for a seamless morphing video loop. 
 
Finally, I was able to further improve the video quality by transcoding all of these new frames with the #rife plugin for #SVP4 and upscaling the output to 2k/120fps (although youtube currently caps out at 60fps). 
 
The result is a #cursed music video featuring a #lofi synth jam I made in #abletonlive ~ inspired by some of my fav electronic musicians #aphextwin and #boardsofcanada
