Well no guitar heroics here but this is my latest release. The video was a blast to make using Midjourney AI generated stuff that was coaxed out of the minions via the songs lyrics.

Available at all major streaming services over the next few days! Maybe longer because of Holiday weekend!! Spotify!

I really like this! I am also interested as to how the video was made.

Glad you like and thanks for watching/listening!

The graphics (without text) was done with artificial intelligence image generation. I would give the AI generator (Midjourney.com) a line(s) of the song and it throws back at me 4 images in whatever style(s) I instruct it to use. I then tell it to give me more images or use one that it already gave me. Back and forth until I get something I like. Then at times, I will supplement that graphic with some additions while I am in Photoshop. I also did 95% of the text for the words on screen in Photoshop, the other text stuff was done in After Effects.

Then I take the graphics and audio and use Adobe After Effects to transition them, bring text in/out when needed, generate waves, ripples, other effects, etc.

I had a BLAST doing this one and will definitely be making more of them using this template/concept. A friend of mine who has a degree in film complained it looks too much like a Power Point slideshow, but had no input on what to do about it. I agree with him if your mind equates slideshows with Power Point, but for now, this is what I am working with and I really like the results ;~)) Next song on deck (having trouble deciding) will be "Musical Soul" or "Porch Swings"!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

Feel free to PM me if you want to know any specifics or gotcha's to look out for, happy to share! I learned a lot about After Effects and how to get what I want out of Midjourney in this process. Also, Photoshops new "generative aware fill" has been helping me quickly resolve problems I get from the Midjourney stuff!
