7/3/2025 - AI Art & The Chain of Craft

Transcript

1. 3:09Gota have myself to the stage. Calm down, everybody. Just calm down. I'm I'm flying producerless here. All right.
2. 3:22You reverted to old Tik Tok days. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. We can't see you. I know. Now you can. Now you can because I'm I'm a professional.
3. 3:32Um, so anyway, [Music] Joy Pie just did a really nice post on Twitter. I don't know if she just did it
4. 3:46two hours ago. um where you know she's putting out these films that she puts sometimes months into making
5. 3:59and when she puts them out and people find out they're AI, they're just like, "Oh, that's just AI slop."
6. 4:05No, it's not. AI slop is if you go into, you know, VO3 and push a button and out squirts a 5-second clip and you stick
7. 4:15that on the internet and you don't really think about it. That's AI slop. But most AI artists that I know are
8. 4:24doing chain of craft. They're doing multiple steps. In the case of Joy Perie, probably hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of steps.
9. 4:34you know, a dozen steps here to generate this image and then a dozen more steps to turn this image into a video and then
10. 4:4124 more steps to get a sound effect that goes with the thing and then 50 versions of a song till you get it just right. That just serves as
11. 4:50the under underbelly of that of that clip, right? That's craft. The tools are different, but so what?
12. 5:06You used to have to, if you wanted to make a movie, you would you would have have giant spools of acetate with silver oxide on them.
13. 5:19And that was a requirement. And then along came video cameras. And the film people said, "Oh, video cameras. Yeah,
14. 5:25come back when you've got real tools. We're sorry. We're doing real films here. It's exactly what's happening with with
15. 5:33with essentially all of AI that people that are sitting on the sidelines have this preconceived notion, oh, it's just,
16. 5:41you know, you push the easy button. Ah, it's just here's a here's a business plan, here's a report, here's a
17. 5:47marketing plan. Ah, it's just slop. Everything's AI slop. Unless it's not. [Music] I mean, maybe what people are bitching
18. 5:58about is the fact that you can make so much AI slop that a lot of people are going to make AI slop. But then you know
19. 6:04what happens with that, right? That just becomes the new bottom, right? If everyone's using AI to just make lazy [ __ ]
20. 6:16it's just a higher quality bottom of the ocean. Still the bottom of the ocean. How do you get noticed above that? Well, you do
21. 6:26something interesting. You craft it. You have an idea. You refine that idea. You come up with an output you want to
22. 6:35do. You refine what that's going to look like. You refine how many versions you're going to do. You figure out which
23. 6:41tools you need to stick together to put all those together and generate something. You look at the results. You
24. 6:47go, "Oh, those are crappy results. Let me go back and fix something on the earlier in the chain." Right. Yeah. Makes sense.
25. 7:05What tool did you use to make that? I bet Joy Pretty gets that all the time. Her answer should be, "You want to know which 27 tools I used?"
26. 7:19You wouldn't ask a filmmaker, "What tool did you use to make that film?" Oh, you used a red camera. Oh, yeah. I hear they're good.
27. 7:31Well, there were a lot of other tools. There were lenses and lights and sets and actors and writers all use different tools, right?
28. 7:44We wouldn't think of saying to a filmmaker, what tool did you use to make that? But with AI, we do. So my request to you,
29. 7:55something to consider is next time someone asks you what tool did you use, don't answer them. Talk about the chain.
30. 8:02What what was the chain of craft that you used to get some result that they thought was cool? And educate them. [Music]
31. 8:14Hollywood isn't real either. They use CGI all over. Well, but so Brian, it it doesn't even have to be I'm not saying
32. 8:23that real film versus CGI is good or bad. They're both just tools. One tool is I'm going to film real actors.
33. 8:29Another tool is I'm going to use CGI. A new tool is we're going to use some AI stuff. And if you think if you think production
34. 8:39companies aren't going to instead of renting a helicopter and landing it, you know, on the Palisades in New Jersey
35. 8:48to get a 5-second clip, if you don't think they're not going to just use AI to get that shot now, you're gravely mistaken.
36. 9:00So, but we're just in a we're just in a funky little a funky little moment in history, which is kind of cool. It's
37. 9:08kind of cool because we know we know what it takes to get something that doesn't suck. Chain of craft. So, [Music]
38. 9:23techie Becky in the house. [Music] If you're new here, my name is Kyle Shannon. This is the AI learning lab.
39. 9:38Singing earlier was Champ Champ Shannon dog with the mostest. Hang on. I'll be right back in Tik Tok. Just want to check something.
40. 9:55[Music] Uh is okay. [Music] All right, I am back on the Tik Tok.
41. 10:11Veras. Ver. Whoa. All right. What did I froze? Yeah, that was because I I switched over to a different app for a second. Um,
42. 10:22trying to think what we want to do tonight. Um, if anyone has any questions, feel free to pop them in the comments.
43. 10:31Frozen. Yeah, I froze because I changed uh I flipped over to a different app. [Music]
44. 11:01The haters are just jealous. I used my brain. Yeah, I used my Brian. [Music]
45. 11:17I don't even know if the haters are jealous. I think the haters are scared. I know the haters are scared. It's a loss of control, right?
46. 11:31Every time there's a new technology in the world, it's met with fear and resistance.
47. 11:45And there's a there's another way to frame the AI haters, which is this. If you've got AI haters, if you've got people that are hating
48. 11:55hating, viscerally hating a thing that is not going away, but it's a thing that's going to change things.
49. 12:12That gap is where the opportunity is. The fact that they seem like haters to you means that you're educated enough in
50. 12:26generative AI to be early enough to have a lot of opportunity. We've got a lot of opportunity right now. All of us. Source
51. 12:35camp. What's happening? What's shaking? We're talking about chain of craft. Chain of craft. AI. Chain of craft.
52. 12:48What tool did you use that? What tool did you use to make that thing? Source camp. Oh, well. So, where I started was I've made more
53. 13:00than 300 custom GPTs. And then I've been in I've been an entrepreneur and a business owner for 30 years. And so when it came time to build
54. 13:12this custom GPT for this for this customer, I took all that experience and I sat down and I jotted down some notes
55. 13:20about what I wanted that GPT to do based on the challenges that that that person had. And then I went through my prompt
56. 13:33libraries that I've been working on for two and a half years. And I pulled out some of the the greatest hits of
57. 13:40elements that I knew would work if I put them in a certain combination, you know, for this guy's business. And I
58. 13:46put them in this custom GPT. I had a feeling that that it was going to work, right? And then I went into chat GPT. That's
59. 13:55probably the question you're asking is what tool did I use? Well, it's chat GPT. But chat GBPT on its own
60. 14:04is just a it's just a reflection of what you put in it. So if you put in some piece of crap, you're going to get out a
61. 14:09crappy answer. So I didn't want that. So what I did was I actually used my brain in this sort of chain of craft series of steps
62. 14:18before I even started with chat GPT. Then what I did was I created a custom GPT which I can show you how to make
63. 14:26those if you want to see it. It's really easy. I can do it in like five minutes. and I put in some prompts. I put in my
64. 14:31ideas and then I tested it. What's cool about that tool is you can actually be testing the custom GBT as you're
65. 14:38building it. It's really remarkable. You don't need to know any code. And then I tested it and it was giving me these
66. 14:44good results, but then it gave me this bad result and I'm like, "Huh, what's going on there?" And I realized I had to
67. 14:48actually upload some data from the customer's spreadsheet so that it had enough information to actually do what I
68. 14:55was asking it to do. And then when I did that, it was like magical. And then within an hour of when I talked to that guy,
69. 15:06I had this custom GPT and I sent it to him. I sent him the link and I said, "Upload your your your weekly spreadsheet." And he did and it
70. 15:16generated this report and and the guy was like physically moved. He almost cried because it did in 2 minutes
71. 15:29what used to take him a week and a half or two weeks to reconcile. And so that's how I made this thing.
72. 15:41It's got nothing to [ __ ] do with the tool. Right. This is the new way. What tool did you use to make that?
73. 15:56None of your [ __ ] business. You want to You want to know what what uh prompt library I use to put together my prompt snippets?
74. 16:11You want me to give you access to all of the Google Docs and spreadsheets that I've made over the past two and a half
75. 16:16years trying to figure this [ __ ] out? Or do you just want to reduce it into a tool? Oh, you pushed the button and out came crap.
76. 16:30No more of that. We can educate and smack them down at the same time. Right, Kelly? Exactly. Producer
77. 16:45Brandon's here. What's happening, Producer Brandon? was shaking. Okay, good. I was worried about you, buddy. [Music]
78. 16:58Yvon seems to agree with the chain of craft response. What tool did you use? None of your business what tool I use,
79. 17:04but you want to hear something cool. Here's a really simplified version of what I did in about five minutes
80. 17:14that I'm going to tell it to you. I'm going to explain to you how I built this thing. And what I can tell you before I explain
81. 17:20all this is from start to finish, I had this tool in my hands within about five minutes, maybe 10. And then you tell them all the steps you
82. 17:30did. And at about step three, they will stop listening. Their eyes will glaze over and they'll be like, "I'm sorry I
83. 17:37asked. I didn't want to really know what how AI is not a single thing.
84. 17:51It's like the internet. It's like the worldwide web. What HTML tag did you use to to make that site? What? Oh, do you use CSS?
85. 18:06Yeah. Oh, so it's a CSS site. Yeah. No, I Yeah. No, I I know about CSS. [ __ ] [Laughter]
86. 18:20get a [ __ ] clue, people. Oh my god. There's not endless grace for people determined to misunderstand. Yeah. Well,
87. 18:29I I don't think there has to be endless grace archetypal. I think I think there is uh I think having empathy for their fear is is useful,
88. 18:45you know, and and you know, oddly there might be something in talking to people that are afraid of AI in terms of process rather than tools
89. 18:59that might give them some solace, right? where it's like it's like oh I'll tell you how you want to know how I did this
90. 19:05I'll tell you how I did it and and if the first four steps are have nothing to do with AI they'll be like oh I I recognize I I've
91. 19:17got those skills I could do that so wait what's the AI part oh the a AI part doesn't come till later I've got to
92. 19:25figure out who my audience is and what I'm trying to accomplish and what the client needs I got to figure all that
93. 19:30stuff out first and Sometimes I'll use chat GPT to help me clarify that, but like that's that's the most important
94. 19:37part of this. Wait, how how do how would you use chat GPT to clarify that? Oh, chat GPT is really good. If you give it
95. 19:43a bunch of unorganized [ __ ] it can organize it for you? Oh, really? It can do that? Right. And now you're in a
96. 19:50different kind of dialogue with someone. Like I feel like I feel like this this this way of talking about what we do
97. 20:03might be a bridge for people. It's going to bore the living [ __ ] out of some people. That's okay. It's It's almost like It's almost like
98. 20:13this approach allows us to clasp back our agency, right? the dismissiveness of Oh, what what AI tool did you use? Oh, is that Mid
99. 20:26Journey? Yeah, you made those those pictures in Mid Journey. That's Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. I I know. Yeah.
100. 20:31Midjourney. That's that's the one where they steal all the artists work, right? It's a completely diminishing kind of attack, right?
101. 20:44I'm going to diminish your contribution to zero because I've I've assumed that all you did was push a button in that tool. Once I know what
102. 20:55tool it is, then I know which group of thieves you're colluding with to steal from artists. But if you actually don't answer the
103. 21:08question and start talking about the chain of craft that got you there. I like it's giving me it's giving me um
104. 21:22preemptive joy of people just being like why did I ask this question? I don't want to hear this. But then at some
105. 21:29point going, "Huh, that actually kind of sounds interesting and creative and man, how do you know all that stuff? How did
106. 21:35you know that you needed to put all those things in that order to be able to do that thing?" Oh, well, in Midjourney, you know, I
107. 21:45don't know if you know MidJourney. Well, I've Yeah. Well, they've got these things called mood boards. and mood
108. 21:50boards. You can take work that you've done and and create a mood board out of it and then you can generate images in
109. 21:58that style. So, I've been a photographer for 20 20 years. So, I went back and I got some of my favorite photographs and
110. 22:05I made this mood board because I thought, wouldn't it be cool if I could take my style and do this ad campaign that matched that style?
111. 22:12Oh, how do you do that? Well, it's really easy. You just do this, that, and yeah, you know, it just changes the
112. 22:19conversation. It it it it claws back for us our sense of professionalism and what we do. The number of labels I've had people
113. 22:30apply to me over the years to dismiss whatever I'm trying to do or say. I'm a little short of empathy sometimes. I
114. 22:37know. I know. I would imagine in the in the architecting business there's a lot of that. Oh, you just drew you just draw
115. 22:43the pictures, right? You just draw the pictures. You're the architect. Yeah. Yeah. I just draw the pictures. I also
116. 22:51make sure that the house isn't going to collapse on your stupid fat [ __ ] head. But yeah, I just draw the pictures.
117. 23:07Oh my god. Oh man. If you can feed into it what excites them, you get pretty far. Yeah. Yeah. If you can feed into what what
118. 23:16excites them. Yeah. Exactly. Oh, you're not an architect, but you but you are an archetype, right? You're not an
119. 23:22architect, but you are an archetype. [Music]
120. 23:51I'm an architect of archetypes, a hypnotherapist. Oh, that's right. I I knew that. [Music]
121. 24:29Hello. [Music] Hello. [Music]
122. 24:58The ones who do not do anything are always the ones that put you down. Henry Henry Rollins. Kyle, can you make a pseudo song
123. 25:06saying what AI tool we use for for what funny song? Yeah, exactly. That that would be a fun one. It's a bit It's a bit inside baseball, but
124. 25:19[Music] Would you guys like to learn or or have me go
125. 25:35over do create a midjourney mood board? [Music] I I just have this feeling midjourney is
126. 25:49going to be really important. [Music]
127. 26:15agents. No, I'm not going to deal with agents right now. Here's why I'm not dealing with agents. Everyone is talking about agents right now.
128. 26:24Nobody nobody knows what the [ __ ] they are because so many people are saying what they've built is an agent. People
129. 26:33are collapsing automations into agentic workflows and agentic workflows into you know uh uh you know multi-step reasoning chains
130. 26:51until we know what agents actually are. I mean, in in my opinion, we will have agents when you don't have to babysit them.
131. 27:03We don't have agents right now. We've got toddlers. We We've got toddlers that are running around with butane torches that they
132. 27:12don't know how to turn off. [Laughter] [Music]
133. 27:32[Applause] [Music] Um, yeah, I think I want to do something. I think I want to make something. had someone try to flex on me yesterday
134. 27:48throwing out the world a the word agent. I called him on it. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Oh. Oh, you're building an agent. Tell
135. 27:54me exactly what an agent is. How do you define that? Oh, so what you just described as an automation. That's not an agent, but
136. 28:05nice nice automation. Congrats. Oh man. And if if I'm seeming a little salty
137. 28:21like like I'm a little cranky at the haters, it's not so much that. It's that I'm kind of pissed off at myself.
138. 28:35This is one of those things where once you have the realization, you're like, "Wait, why haven't I why Why didn't I have figure this out
139. 28:46sooner? Right? Because it's one of those things that the minute I say it, it's like, well, yeah, that's obvious. Everybody knows
140. 28:53that anything worth anything is some multi-step series of interactions with tools where you take your life experience and
141. 29:06your expertise and you intersperse it with the things you do to get from point A to point Z. Like that's pretty obvious, but it's not
142. 29:16obvious with AI. Oh, you use chat GPT? Yeah. Do you even know what chat GPT is? Yeah, it's that thing. I I tried it
143. 29:25once. It's It's like Google, but you know, I didn't like it. Oh, yeah. You tried it once. Uhhuh. Tik Tok pin. That
144. 29:33was the exact conversation. Yeah. Yeah,
145. 29:47because the tools are so capable, because it can be this simple, you can make money with people assume it is
146. 29:57because they don't understand it. They don't want to confront the fact that they might have to learn something new,
147. 30:16you know? And it this is not prompt engineering and it's not context engineering. That's the new the new phrase of the week is context
148. 30:24engineering. No, get [ __ ] engineering out of it. Because engineering just assumes that you have to use technical tools to be
149. 30:38able to do it. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe what we'll do, Brandon, is we'll go to mid Journey and then we'll
150. 30:53we'll make some images and then we'll head over to Higsfield and play. Um although you know you have actually
151. 31:04actually it might be interesting to compare them go compare some of the Higsfield stuff with with MidJourney.
152. 31:12My problem with Higsfield lately is is they're they're leaning into this weird marketing which is like you can make sexy AI avatars
153. 31:22and it's like I get that you can do that but I just I think it's shitty shitty marketing. Um I'm always fascinated by how people
154. 31:32with visual imaginations work. I can't see it till I see it. That's interesting. Do the mood boards work in
155. 31:38seven now? I'm pretty sure they do, Sharon, which is probably a good reason to go play. Okay, Hedra is interesting.
156. 31:45Yeah, I like Hedra a lot. Hedra is really good. Um, okay. So, let's go. Let's go to the videotape here. This is
157. 31:52this uh post from Joy Party where, you know, here's her here's her timeline. This is her timeline for her her little
158. 32:03AI slop film that, you know, someone disparaged her. Oh, you just put out AI slop. No, no, I don't. I spent six months teaching myself
159. 32:15nonlinear editing and all of the images I created in there, you know, it's taken me the better part of a year and a half to
160. 32:25figure out how to do all that [ __ ] So, yeah, [ __ ] them. I'm pissed off on your behalf, Joy Party. I don't even know if you're in
161. 32:37here, but if you are, I'm with you. I'm with you, sister. Okay. Um, do I have a tab open for midjourney? Is that it? Yes.
162. 32:51All right. So, midjourney. Let's see. How am I going to Okay, that's pretty good. You can sort of see everything there
163. 33:03on Tik Tok. go a little closer. Okay. Um, so let me go to the homepage. So here's just [ __ ] other people have
164. 33:17made in MidJourney. And then if I go to create down the lefth hand side, here's all the [ __ ] I've made in Midjourney, right?
165. 33:28And then you can go to edit where you can upload an image and do all sorts of fun stuff there. And then the next tab
166. 33:37down is called personalize. And you can turn personalization on or off just sort of as a general setting for your um
167. 33:51for what you do. Hang on a second here. Oh, I see. Interesting. 211 rankings.
168. 34:08Huh. Okay. So, it looks like with personalization, you do personalizations for for the different models. There's NG6,
169. 34:25there's V6 personalization, and then there's uh V7 personalization, and then you can create a new ranked profile. So, so the way the way
170. 34:36personalization works, if I click on this global V7 profile, um it's giving me two images to rank and then I can tell it which one I like
171. 34:48better. And then I can skip. I can skip if I don't want to rank anything. And so by by ranking by choosing one of these, I'm
172. 35:02basically training midjourney to just like a general aesthetic that I tell it I like. Um, and when you're when you're in create
173. 35:18mode, the personalization setting is turned on right here. It's a little P and it turns red if you turn it on and white if you turn it off.
174. 35:32And so if I just go in here right now and I just type in um chain of craft without personalization on. And now I
175. 35:45turn on personalization and I say chain of craft. Same prompt. I should get two very different things.
176. 36:05So these four are without personalization. These are just kind of the generic ones still rendering. That's
177. 36:11kind of cool. Oh, that's kind of cool. So's that. So's that. So those four are without personalization. And now this is with
178. 36:24personalization, which if I look at the stuff with personalization, I'm like, "Yeah, that kind of that feels better to me
179. 36:33aesthetically." You might hate it, but this is based on my rankings. Okay, so that's just general personalization.
180. 36:41So now we go back here and if you if you scroll down below personalization, now you get to mood boards.
181. 36:52And you can expand them. And I've got I don't have that many in here. And you can create a new one, but I can go into any one of these.
182. 37:03And so here's a bunch of black and white photographs that I've taken. And so what I can do is I can
183. 37:17go back here and I can say use this profile. So if I if I roll over the mood board, I say use the profile and then it puts this long code
184. 37:28in in the in the thingy. Let's see where are my settings. So I'm going to turn off personalization. I'm just going to use this mood board.
185. 37:43So, it's inspired by my black and white street photography. And I'm just going to say, oops, what did I do? Did I lose something?
186. 37:54Use profile. Okay. I'm going to say um man and woman.
187. 38:09Man and woman holding hands, walking down the street with that mood board.
188. 38:25And this is this is sometimes confusing if you're on if you're on mood boards and I just typed in that prompt. I I
189. 38:33don't see anything I just did. I have to go back to the create tab and then it'll show me the little photos it makes for me. So
190. 38:46notice they're already in black and white. I didn't tell it to make a black and white image.
191. 39:01Oh, nice. Kelly Cam, I've got better than nachos. says, "I've got an entire chocolate birthday pie." Happy birthday,
192. 39:07Kelly. I forgot it was your birthday. Awesome. Happy birthday. That's really terrific. So, look at these. Look at
193. 39:13these photos. Like this. These look like these look like photos I would take. And they're edited how I would edit them.
194. 39:25Notice they have that big dramatic vignette. They're kind of somewhere between high contrast and normal. That totally looks like
195. 39:36the meat district in Manhattan. It looks European. That's cool. And then I can even I can even do things
196. 39:49like I can change stylization. So, um, so if I go up here, I can turn stylization down to like 50 and do the the same prompt with the same
197. 40:02mood board. And then now I'm going to turn stylization up to like nine 900. It'll be even more like my style.
198. 40:12And then I'm going to do that with that mood board with a high style. We'll go back here. So, the ones with the the low style,
199. 40:28well, I guess will interpret more midjourney. They'll lean more midjourney, and the ones with a higher style will
200. 40:36lean more toward my mid mood board. See that shot from low from from ankles
201. 40:51up. All right. So, here's these are the high style ones. So, offkilter. Yeah, these feel very much like stuff I would shoot. That
202. 41:00doesn't that that feels like a different photographer, but these feel like stuff I would shoot. Very cool. Okay. All
203. 41:07right. So, how do you make these things? So, go back to personalize and then we're going to say create a new mood board.
204. 41:16And I can either upload images. So, if I've got images on my hard drive, I've got little collections of them. If I
205. 41:23want to add an image from a hyperlink, I can do that. I can also add images from a gallery. So, if I go to my gallery
206. 41:29here, let me go to folders. Here's 70s muscle car tests. So what I can do now I forget how to do this. Do I just
207. 41:42select them like this? Yeah. So you just go through and you select you select the images that you want
208. 41:58and those will become part of your mood board. So those are looking good. So, we'll get these photorealistic ones
209. 42:13and these kind of stylized ones are kind of cool, too.
210. 42:34[Music] Okay, now how do I how do I actually add
211. 42:52them? I don't Oh, I guess I already have, haven't I? Wait, what if I I go back here? Okay. Yeah. So, all the ones I clicked
212. 43:06on are now being uploaded into this mood board, right? So, you see all the uploads happening, the little twirly bars.
213. 43:28And it's going. And it's going. Hopefully, these will be done soon. Now, what'll be fascinating here, I'm going to do two different
214. 43:44um let me let me rename this mood board. We're going to call this uh muscle car. photo style.
215. 44:03Go back. Can I use it yet? Where is it? Muscle car photo style using profile. Okay, so I've got it there. Okay, so let me I'm
216. 44:13going to move my stylization to like 400. So it'll be inspired by my style but not completely there. Then I'm gonna
217. 44:20go um I'm gonna do two two different prompts. I'm gonna do um car in New York City.
218. 44:36And then I'm going to do same mood board, but I'm not going to talk about a car, even though it's only
219. 44:44cars that are in there. I'm going to say like um huge now. Let's see. Let's do Let's do something really different. Let's do um
220. 44:58kids playing on a playground. It'll be interesting to see what elements it it keeps.
221. 45:27That's so cool. Uh oh. Car in New York City. What's going on? seems to have hung.
222. 45:43I got nothing. But here's Kids and Playground. It's got kind of that 70s. It It has a 70s style to it, doesn't it?
223. 46:00This is sort of like the muscle car of kids. Look at her just flying in that chair that's not attached to anything. I
224. 46:06think I think these kids these kids were on a ride that that the carney was a little drunk when he put it together.
225. 46:22Wow, that's kind of cool. So, where why did my muscle car not work? Okay, let's do um so we'll do car in New York City.
226. 46:44All right, that's starting. I don't know why that other one why that other one died. I think it was just a glitch. Just
227. 46:50a glitch. Just a little janky town. A typical ride of the 70s. Yeah, exactly. I love the like the lighting in this
228. 46:57one's really good, right? If you go back to the you go back to that mood board. Like it's it's definitely got a lot of
229. 47:06the same kind of feel, huh? Pretty slick.
230. 47:22All right. So, it didn't exactly make muscle cars, like 70s muscle cars, but it did do like rods. So, let's let's
231. 47:30turn stylization up to 950. We'll do a thousand. And then we'll do car in New York City muscle car style. And let's see if these are all now
232. 47:4470s muscle cars rather than like these were kind of What do we have here? Like that's like 19 58 or nine Cadillac.
233. 47:59That's like a 63. It's like a 66. It's like a 64. And these these cars don't exist, but
234. 48:13like, you know, look at the Empire State Building back there. That's really cool. All right. So, let's see what happens
235. 48:20with stylization at a thousand. Yeah, there you go. 70s muscle. 70s muscle. 60. What is that? 68 Thunderbird. Something like that.
236. 48:34And that one's That one's not 70s muscle. That's That's probably late 60s. We're in the hood. That's pretty slick. Pretty slick.
237. 48:48And then you can also, here's a cool thing that you might not know about mood boards. You can stack them. So, let's
238. 48:56say like I've got this one that's got all my cool sky photography in it, right? So, let's use let's use the the muscle
239. 49:05car one we just made. And then let's use that crazy sky one. And then let's use Uh
240. 49:20I've got uh color street. So we'll use three different mood boards. So So you'll notice it gave three different
241. 49:27codes that are the different mood boards. And am I in seven or am I in six? I'm in seven. Okay. And so now I'm going to do
242. 49:38car in New York City. We'll do that as one. Now, I'm going to do Let me go up here. I'm going to do What's our stylization at? Oh, we're at
243. 49:52a thousand. Let me bring it back down to 400. Okay. So, we're going to do uh we're going to do car in New York City mood
244. 50:00board one, two, three. Generate. Then we're going to do car in New York City. mood war one two three and I'm going to turn on
245. 50:15personalization. So I want to see the difference between when I have overall personalization turned on or off
246. 50:27and this is now three combined mood boards that should have dramatic skies in them. Right? So here here was just one mood
247. 50:35board with style at a thousand. Here's three mood boards with style at a thousand, right? Style at a thousand. Yeah.
248. 50:49Definitely has my sort of high vignette, high overedited kind of HDR look. There's my dramatic sky. So, now we're now we're at stylization
249. 51:04400 with three different mood boards. Dramatic skies, dramatic photos, dramatic lighting. Oh, look at that one.
250. 51:16That one's so good. All right, we're going to come back to that one. Nice. All right, this one's so good. We're going to turn this into
251. 51:35wait, let's do uh we're going to do upscale subtle. So, we're going to turn this into a high-res image.
252. 51:49Any questions? Quick tip. If you want to know the real feel of a mood board or sref, your prompt should be star. Oh, that's cool.
253. 52:02Star star star quote quote quote quote. It should be what? Quote space quote. All right. Is this done?
254. 52:17Look how gorgeous that is. Oops.
255. 52:32the cool sky. The school cool clouds in the sky. All right, so let's turn this into a movie. We're going to go low motion.
256. 52:44And now we're going to get four movies of this car somehow.
257. 53:06Love the colors. I know. The colors are cool, aren't they? Quote, space quote. No words. All right, let's try that. So, we'll go I'll I'll
258. 53:15turn personalization off. I'm going to go quote space quote and then I'm going to grab muscle car
259. 53:30style. All right, we'll see what that looks like. All right, our movies are are doing their thing. They're almost done.
260. 53:41If you don't know about midjourney video, we're just in midjourney making images and then at some point if you see an
261. 53:48image you like, you just say turn that into something or turn that into a movie and it does. And you can either prompt
262. 53:54it or not. You don't have to. All right, here's our videos. Love the love the uh reflectiveness on the car, but the physics on the wheels
263. 54:07suck. That's a That's not bad. That's actually usable if you cut off the first two seconds of it.
264. 54:23Right there. You start it. That's cool. No one's driving, but you know, pretty slick.
265. 54:48Huh? Wild people. Wild, I'll tell you. Oh, that's fascinating. Wonder why I put the letters in there. Maybe because of the quotes.
266. 55:06What if I just put space as the as the prompt and then did muscle car photo style. Let's see what that does.
267. 55:25Oh, prompt can't be empty. But it wasn't empty. It was had a space. Yeah, it it doesn't like spaces. All
268. 55:40right, fine. Fine. Let's do we'll do quote space quote
269. 55:56and then we'll do this image as a style reference. with the muscle car reference. You have to have the quote marks. No words. Interesting.
270. 56:17So, back to our chain of craft argument. Even if you've used midjourney a lot, like every time I watch someone use
271. 56:27midjourney, they use it different than I use it. And just all the little things I'm doing here. Some I'm stumbling on.
272. 56:34Some I saw in a YouTube video. Some I just learned and I kind of have in my banks. You're going to look at this and you're
273. 56:44going to go, "Oh, I'll take that one. I'll take that one." And then you're going to add it to your thing. So even
274. 56:50even if five of us are sitting in the same room using the exact same tool using mood boards, even if we use the
275. 57:00exact same mood board, let's say we all use the salon mood board, just how I'm going to mix and match that, my chain of craft
276. 57:08is going to lead me down very, very different tunnels than your chain of craft. Right? Is Chain of Craft the right? It feels too fancy.
277. 57:24And we'll maybe we'll go deal with that. I love these images, by the way. Beautiful.
278. 57:46Huh. Let's do a variation on that one. I'd like for that sign to be different. Maybe we go edit this.
279. 58:02Put um picture of a trout on a sign.
280. 58:38That's cool. And then we'll go upscale subtle upscale creative
281. 59:04the Vicki. So, what what Sharon was saying was, yeah, the the sky here is very much like uh let me see if I can show you this this image.
282. 59:16Yeah, this this is the image I used as the as the style reference for for these past ones. Um, what Sharon was saying is if you
283. 59:26really want to test a mood board, like what what it sort of generates on its own is just put quote space quote and
284. 59:33then the mood board um code and then generate it and then play with the style slider. So, what I've learned is if you
285. 59:41slide the style slider all the way to a thousand, you basically get images that look just like your mood board. If you
286. 59:48slide it, you know, down to down to zero, you get nothing. From 50, it's just it's a little bit of influence, but
287. 59:55mostly midjourney. So, playing with that with that slider style-wise is really cool. And then here, I added that image
288. 1:00:04as a style reference, which is why we're getting these sort of cool. I think that's the one.
289. 1:00:23How cool that is.
290. 1:00:37Very cool, huh? Groovy, huh? Uh, do we want to do a Let's do Let's do uh we'll do high motion
291. 1:00:57and we'll do um timelapse of cloud of storm passing through.
292. 1:01:13Motion high. Now we're going to make a movie. We're making movies, people. We're making movies. Yeah. Reminds me of the Bates Motel. It
293. 1:01:28definitely has that that kind of vibe. Like that used to be the hotel next to the big, you know, fishing lake or
294. 1:01:42whatever. And then uh and then tough times came and knocking. [Music]
295. 1:01:57These are also just cool like like ads.
296. 1:02:12Yeah, you're using AI. So there, Kyle, talking about prompts, vibes, chains, what's what's next? Grills for our teeth.
297. 1:02:28That just looks like some cool [ __ ] magazine ad, doesn't it? for the S brand.
298. 1:02:52You know what's amazing about this? As I'm flipping through these images, like a lot of this stuff feels creatively familiar to me,
299. 1:03:06right? Because it's I've infused my aesthetic into this thing and then it's sort of pulling from, you know,
300. 1:03:19all the other [ __ ] it's got in there. That's so cool. All right. Let's see. We got movies. It's pretty gorgeous.
301. 1:03:48Think that's the one.
302. 1:04:07We're essentially building our own style guides and reference banks over time. Yeah, exactly. Exactly, Shane. And then
303. 1:04:13what's cool is the other thing you can do, so check this out. So, if I go to organize, um, let's see, folders. Okay, I can create a
304. 1:04:27new folder. New folder. So, we're going to call this, um, Kyle's pics.
305. 1:04:42Uh, we'll put 7-25. Okay. So, drag images to a folder. So, we're going to go to organize.
306. 1:04:56How do I do this? Uh, I unselect that. Okay. Ah, I see. So, if I go click. No, I go.
307. 1:05:12How do I do I drag something over here? Yeah. Okay. Okay. So now, so let So we we really like this image. So let's put that in Kyle's pics.
308. 1:05:28I like this this slide image. I like this chain image. So now I'm just dragging. I'm just I'm just literally
309. 1:05:39going through images I've created. Oh, I love this this car image. I'm dragging that in there. I like this one. Kyle's pics.
310. 1:05:52I love this chrome one. This one here. Those were cool. Actually,
311. 1:06:33I wonder if they're going to allow you to do Can you drag a movie into a mood board. Yeah, you can into a folder. You can um
312. 1:06:43Oh, I like those images. I like that image. These are all videos. There's some work. Oh, these I like. So, let me grab one of these.
313. 1:06:58I think it was this one. We'll throw that in there. We'll grab one of my crazy eye photos. We'll grab one of these astronauts. This
314. 1:07:14astronaut kid was pretty cool. Oh, I like this one. Shame image. This one, right? Put that in there. Maybe we'll add in a pop of color.
315. 1:07:30Let's do Oh, this one with the rays. Just keep going. So, what you could do, you could be doing things like, I'm just going to
316. 1:07:44pull in things that have a bridge in them, or I'm just going to pull in things that are red, white, and black,
317. 1:07:48or I'm just going to pull in things that that look like an aesthetic. You know, one of the things that that gets talked
318. 1:07:54about a lot is is bias in terms of, you know, not enough people of color, not enough diversity of, you know, are they
319. 1:08:01too pretty, this, that. You could create mood boards that is an aesthetic that you want to go for and then just lean into that mood board.
320. 1:08:16Um, these were kind of cool. Let me grab one of these. Think this one. Okay. So, now if we go back to personalize,
321. 1:08:31we go back and we're going to create a new mood board. I'm going to say add from gallery. And then I can go to that
322. 1:08:40folder that I made. And so here's all of our images, right? So I can just select everything and then to how do I get out of here?
323. 1:08:56Back. Yeah, there we go. And then to Sharon's point, let's go in here. I didn't name it. Let's go name it. So this is uh Kyle's picks.
324. 1:09:157:25. All right, these are these are the images I thought were cool on this date. And so now what we're going to do is
325. 1:09:26we're going to go back and we're going to go use this profile and we're going to go quote space quote and we'll leave I'll do stylization at
326. 1:09:37like 750. So that'll put it like threequarters of the way toward relying heavily on this mood board. I'm I've got personalization off
327. 1:09:49and then it's going to make us some images. Opening scene to a movie for sure. Yeah, this this video right here is definitely
328. 1:09:59that's definitely an opening scene to a movie. There was a time when the hotel was vibrant, bustling.
329. 1:10:20Oh, wow. There's something about that quote space quote that it's it's definitely throwing some uh throwing some letters in there.
330. 1:10:29Let's try this. Let me try it with personalization on. And then let me try it with we'll go this this
331. 1:10:38personalization on. We'll do a thousand. We'll do this this personalization on and we'll do 50 or 100. All right.
332. 1:10:55Okay. I don't know about you, but I think that's [ __ ] cool. Spooky and cool. Wow, look at that one.
333. 1:11:12Game. That's [ __ ] crazy. Is it still rendering? Why is that so blurry? I think it was still rendering.
334. 1:11:30No, it's just blurry. Interesting. Look at that. This is okay. People, people people
335. 1:11:46along with people telling you that, you know, oh, what tool did you use? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know how you did that.
336. 1:11:55No, you've got your chain of craft. They've also got that trope about AI can never be creative, right? AI can never be creative because
337. 1:12:06all it's doing is predicting the next token. That's the trope that you'll hear. You tell me that these images aren't creative.
338. 1:12:16I took some crazy ass images that had nothing to do with one another, grouped them together into some sort of
339. 1:12:23aesthetic, which was the the the only thing they had in common was, "Oh, that's cool. Oh, that's cool. Oh, that's cool."
340. 1:12:35You don't get the words like this. Fascinating. Wild. Look at that one. Tell me that's not creative. You're
341. 1:12:42you're like you're like stuck for some ideas on on something you want to do. You want to see something cool? Um, let me take this
342. 1:12:54copy image. I'm going to go to chat GPT. We're going to do new chat. Just chat GPT40. I'm going to paste in that image. Oops. No, not
343. 1:13:10copy image. Paste. Okay. Failed to upload. Okay. Fine. Paste. Okay. Um,
344. 1:13:24ignore the letters. Wait. Ignore the letters in this image and tell me her story.
345. 1:13:47All right. So, you can we we could photoshop out those letters if we don't want them. She calls herself Neon Dust,
346. 1:13:54a name earned not from fame, but survival. Raised in a forgotten corner of a post glam city. She was once a
347. 1:14:02street performer, juggling glow sticks under H hallogen lights. A child of fluoresence and noise. She learned to
348. 1:14:08craft personas like origami. Delicate sharpedged folds of color, costume, and bravado. The powdered sparkle on her
349. 1:14:17cheek isn't makeup. It's the last remnants of a chemical fire she survived in an underground club when the ceiling
350. 1:14:23caught fire during a synth wave set. Her signature, the cracked cherry lips and smudge of neon on her nose, always a
351. 1:14:30reminder of the chaos she walks through untouched. The blue lenses hide eyes that see too much. They're not just
352. 1:14:37fashion, they're armor. Behind them, she catalogs betrayals, halfpromises, and fleeting kindness. People see a wild
353. 1:14:44thing, feathers, lace, powdered glitter. But she's more analyst than than anarch uh than anarchist. Every look, every costume, every
354. 1:14:55appearance is part of an ongoing performance art project. What if survival looked fabulous? The green boa
355. 1:15:01stolen from a drag queen named Jupiter who told her once, "If you're going to stare, make them blink." She did and
356. 1:15:10they still do. Neon Dust doesn't want fame. She wants to be unforgettable. Like the dream you can't shake off the
357. 1:15:17after image of a lightning bolt. She's not running from the past. She's seducing the future. So you tell me AI can't be [ __ ] creative.
358. 1:15:30That image wouldn't exist had we not been making images for the past year had we not stuck that set of 10 images in a
359. 1:15:44mood board. Had Sharon not said try quote space quote. Had I not watched a YouTube video earlier earlier today that explained
360. 1:15:56the relationship between the style slider and mood boards and had we not taken that image into chat GPT and known that if you say tell
361. 1:16:07me the story of this photo chat GPT is really [ __ ] good at that right? You tell me it can't be creative. And then the chain of craft
362. 1:16:24of how we got here is the other half of the creativity. Right. Yeah. If they're going to stare, make
363. 1:16:38them blink. So, let's um let's go edit this.
364. 1:16:55Get rid of that. We'll just do this. We'll do uh we'll do uh fishnet on shoulder.
365. 1:17:11See if we can get rid of the letters. Get rid of the letters. Source camp on Tik Tok. Yeah, but you just pushed a button.
366. 1:17:24You can make money. Oh. Oh, I see. So So you're just doing AI slop. Uhhuh. So, we got rid of the we got rid of the
367. 1:17:40words on her shoulder. So, let's get the the one we like best here. That one looks pretty good. That one's probably better.
368. 1:17:52That Yeah, that's less distracting. Okay. Oh [ __ ] What did I do? So, let's grab this. Now, I'm going to
369. 1:17:58go edit on this one. I'm going to get rid of that. And then I'm just gonna say um gradated gradation.
370. 1:18:12And then we're going to go submit edit.
371. 1:18:31Uh down. All right, those are all beautiful. Exactly what we wanted. Now, we're going to do subtle upscale, creative upscale. So,
372. 1:18:45we're going to make a nice high-res version of this image. Kind of Andy Warhol. Yeah, it does have an Andy Warhol vibe, doesn't it?
373. 1:19:04Let's see. We're going to chat GPT here.
374. 1:19:46[Music] Does he always sing like that? That's very annoying.
375. 1:20:01What? Why does anybody come to this channel? This makes no sense to me.
376. 1:20:29I'm going to chop this up because we're going to record it.
377. 1:21:13All
378. 1:21:30right, I think this probably still too long. I just got here. What happened? Um, we started out learning about mood
379. 1:21:46boards in midjourney and that's led us down a rabbit hole. Welcome to chat add. All right, so we're going to we're going
380. 1:21:57to How are we going to do this? We're going to go to 11 labs.
381. 1:22:24And we're going to go to voice changer. Then we're going to choose Oops.
382. 1:22:38Voice changer.
383. 1:22:59All right, we're going to use Bradford. Wait, why didn't I choose it? Add to my voices.
384. 1:23:18It's going to be like a minute, isn't it? Oh, well, let's try it. So here I am in Midjourney or in 11 Labs
385. 1:23:28and I'm in voice changer. So I picked Bradford and I'm going to record the audio of me reading this script.
386. 1:23:45Okay, here we go. She calls herself neon dust, a name earned not from fame but survival. Raised in a forgotten corner of a past
387. 1:23:59glam city. She was once a street performer juggling glow sticks under h hallogen lights. A child of fluoresence
388. 1:24:05and noise. The powdered sparkle on her cheek isn't makeup. It's the last remnants of a chemical fire she survived
389. 1:24:12in an underground club. her signature. The cherry cracked lips and smudge of a neon under her nose. Always the reminder
390. 1:24:20of chaos that she walks through untouched. The blue lenses hide her eyes to that see too much. They're not just
391. 1:24:27fashion, they're armor. The green boa stolen from a drag queen named Jupiter who told her once, "If they're going to
392. 1:24:35stare, make them blink." She did, and they still do. Neon Dust doesn't want fame. She wants to be unforgettable.
393. 1:24:43She's not running from the past. She's seducing the future. All right. Not great, but that's okay. And now we're just going to generate a
394. 1:24:54voice.
395. 1:25:12That didn't sound like what it sounded like before. Maybe I got the wrong voice.
396. 1:25:42You can't hear this, right?
397. 1:26:07Yeah, it was a minute long. That's too long. All right. Well, anyway, so what I was going to do, so now we've got the good high-res image
398. 1:26:18of her. That looks beautiful. I think that looks better. Well, maybe not. I think that's better. Okay. So, there's
399. 1:26:34the image at first. So, now we're going to do low motion. Let's just see what this does. So, we can turn this image into a 21 second video.
400. 1:26:54Anyway, all right. Let me uh let me let me get my head out of of being in here. Linking up a super chain. Yeah, exactly.
401. 1:27:02We do it on Tik Tok. Oh, you heard you heard it on Tik Tok. What are we up to? Yo, Ann Murphy, we are um Why are Kyle's
402. 1:27:11glasses fogged? Because I like Neon Blue. Wait, what's her name? Is it Neon Blue? Is that her name? Neon Dust.
403. 1:27:22Neon Dust is She's saucy. I like her. All right, let's see. Come on. Oh, we got to wait for it to render. It
404. 1:27:37ain't rendered yet, people. She ain't rendered yet. [Music]
405. 1:28:01Come on. That's too good.
406. 1:28:22I think the first one was better. Yep. And let's just we'll extend it with low motion auto again.
407. 1:28:38All right, let's go back to 11 Labs and record a new thing. All right, let's see. Um, trash that recording.
408. 1:29:24Declan Sage. Okay. So, we're going to go to voice changer. We're going to change it to Declan. Declan Sage. Okay.
409. 1:30:36She calls herself Neon Dust, a name earned not from fame but from survival. The green boa stolen from a drag queen
410. 1:30:45named Jupiter who told her once if you're gh they're gonna stare. Damn it. Shut up. Shut up. Words are hard.
411. 1:30:57She calls herself neon dust. A name earned not from fame but survival. The green boa stolen from a drag queen named
412. 1:31:05Jupiter who once told her if they're going to stare make them blink. She did and they still do. Neon Dust doesn't want fame. She wants to be
413. 1:31:15unforgettable. She's not running from the past. She's seducing the future. Oh, I start. God damn it.
414. 1:31:26Shut up. Shut up. She calls herself Neon Dust. The name earned not from fame but survival. The green boa stolen from a
415. 1:31:36drag queen named Jupiter who told her once, "If they're going to stare, make them blink." She did, and they still do.
416. 1:31:44Neon Dust doesn't want fame. She wants to be unforgettable. She's not running from the past. She's seducing the future.
417. 1:31:53Okay, how long's that? 24 seconds. Let's see if we get something that doesn't suck. Uh,
418. 1:32:14there you go. All right. Fine. Um, go back to [Music] All right. So, now we have an 8 second long video.
419. 1:32:34And so imagine, we don't need to assemble this now, but imagine she calls herself neon dust. The name
420. 1:32:47earned not from fame, but survival. The green boa, stolen from a drag queen named Jupiter, who told her once, "If
421. 1:32:55they're going to stare, make them blink." She did. and have some sort of synth pop kind of sunno song in the
422. 1:33:02background cut away to some like carnival images. Come on, how cool is that? In fact, let's make the carnival images. You go
423. 1:33:13you go uh go back to create. We're going to take um here we go. We're going to use all that stuff.
424. 1:33:29So, here we're going to go um pop synth dystopian carnival.
425. 1:33:47Did I have personalization turned on? I did not. Bang. All right, let's see if we get anything good. [Music]
426. 1:34:01Declan sounds very Bladeunner to be honest or ish. Yep. Very cool. Yeah, this lady would cut you. That is sensational, isn't it? Isn't
427. 1:34:17this just amazing?
428. 1:34:31These aren't quite right. They're not photographic, but let's see. We could go let's do pop synth. So So we'll say um art photo
429. 1:34:47of There's my pics. There's my stylization. Go.
430. 1:35:02Oh, and then you know what else you could do? No, Kyle, why don't you tell us? So, we're going to go art photo of
431. 1:35:07that. We're going to go mood board that. We're going to go stylization that. We're going to go grab her image
432. 1:35:15that we did. Which one did we like? We like this one. And we're going to put this as an omni reference.
433. 1:35:26And then we're going to go art photo of woman
434. 1:35:46near a ride. in a pop synth dystopian carnival and then it should put her in there.
435. 1:36:05Oh yeah, look at this. So there's totally an image that could We'll make a video of that one. Uh oh. What happened? Oh, no. Nothing. Okay.
436. 1:36:23Wow, that's crazy. We'll do a slow motion on that one, too. Like, you could you could easily cut together
437. 1:36:31a story. I have a song for the last one. Very cool. Yeah. Look at Look at our girl. Neon Dust.
438. 1:36:54Come on, turn that into a movie.
439. 1:37:12Telling you AI can't be creative. Definitely can't. It's just predicting the next token. People, don't let anyone tell you
440. 1:37:25otherwise. AI can't be creative. Okay. Animated graphic novel. Totally. Carnival. Clockwork Orange. Yes, indeed.
441. 1:37:36Shakes head. Wow. This is surreal. So real. Yeah. Crazy, isn't it? Okay. I'm a mood board convert. I'm getting so many images that I just
442. 1:37:47love after I built a mood board from a selection that struck me as somehow related. That's that's it. Like that's it is that is that this
443. 1:38:02there's a there is a subtlety to midjourney and to to this whole approach and even the way it does video. There's a subtlety to this stuff.
444. 1:38:13That just I I don't know. It allows you to create magic. [ __ ] magic. I mean, come on. She looks disturbed. [Laughter]
445. 1:38:37Her lips are all crooked. She's all jankified. [Laughter] But you kind of want to know her, don't you?
446. 1:39:26Look at his hair. His hair here is like its own character. Crazy. All right,
447. 1:39:43let's see. Jupiter. Oh yeah, we got to make Jupiter. Let's see. So if we do Okay. So if we do if we go
448. 1:39:57art photo of um oddly tall drag queen and then we'll use this image as
449. 1:40:14a style reference, not as a thing. drag queen near um a stage.
450. 1:40:29Let's see. A drag queen waiting to go on stage, in a pop synth, dystopian carnival.
451. 1:40:45Okay. Drag queen. Um, let's have her wearing, let's see, a drag, a oddly tall drag queen wearing a stunning
452. 1:41:03blue dress with a green boa, waiting to go on stage in a pop synth carnival with um
453. 1:41:20that and stylization at 900. All right, here comes Jupiter. [Laughter] This is fun. Weirder Mary. This is
454. 1:41:35totally Weirder Mary. I've got subtlety coming out of my orififices. I want those glasses. She survived a lot a fire. Weird Mary.
455. 1:41:50Yeah. Freaky. These don't look photographic yet. They look drawing.
456. 1:42:04But still, it's definitely in the here. Let's back that down. We go. Bang.
457. 1:42:19Bang. Bang. [Music]
458. 1:42:36[Music] James wants to take uh Neon Dust out for a drink. I know. She's seductive, isn't she? That little minkx. That little carnival minkx.
459. 1:42:49Look at her friends. Here's the problem. If you date Neon Dust, these are the guys you need to hang out with. [Laughter]
460. 1:43:08That's [ __ ] awesome. All right. Do we have There we go.
461. 1:43:40from nothing to something, right? Let's review what we did tonight. So, we started out
462. 1:43:56with no mood board or no personalization. Then we went I turned on personalization. The prompt was chain of craft for those.
463. 1:44:08Then I showed you the mood board of my street photography and we made some images with that. Then we made a mood board with muscle cars.
464. 1:44:25And then if you prompted it with a car, it made muscle cars. And if you prompted it with not a car, it made cool [ __ ] like that.
465. 1:44:36That one's gorgeous. Gorgeous. Then we got to that image and we're like, "Oh, that's cool. Let's turn that
466. 1:44:51into something. We made a little movie. Then this was where Sharon said, "Just try the blank the space between two
467. 1:45:01quotes as the prompt." And that led us down this weirdass rabbit hole, which got us to this cool thing, which we then said, "Hey, let's turn
468. 1:45:13that into a movie." We got that Then we got some more weird ass [ __ ] and we met we met our girly neon dust.
469. 1:45:28Then we took that image over to Chat GBT and it wrote a story about her which is pretty amazing. We didn't even look at these.
470. 1:45:43Then we got rid of her words. Then we made a movie of her and that's when everybody fell in love with her like I want to hang out with her.
471. 1:46:00We met her friends. She's a mess. And then we met Jupiter who she got the
472. 1:46:14green boa from. And now Jupiter. Wow, look at that.
473. 1:46:35She just walked through that thing. Little janky. Amazing.
474. 1:47:32Crazy crazy crazy night. All right, there's Jupiter. We met Jupiter. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Okay, so no show
475. 1:47:43tomorrow. This was Thursday night date night. Special shout out to Kelly Camp for having a birthday. Happy birthday, Kelly. Um,
476. 1:47:54over the weekend, here's what I want you to do. Two things. If you've got a MidJourney account, go play with mood
477. 1:48:02boards and go play with video. Run yourself down some creative rabbit holes and just, you know, experience
478. 1:48:09what it's like to do that. What I'd also like you to do is start documenting. even if it's just mentally your chain of craft.
479. 1:48:21What are all of the steps that you do when you just use chat GPT, when you just use MidJourney? When you just use,
480. 1:48:31you know, whatever tool out there that people diminish. What are all the steps that you take to get to a decent result, including your
481. 1:48:41time at the whiteboard or thinking about something or refining things? I think that would be good. All right. Fantastic. Fantastic, Bob.
482. 1:48:57All right. So, that's it. I'm getting out of here. Hope you had fun tonight. Um, I know I didn't interact much with
483. 1:49:06all of you because I was down the rabbit hole here, but hopefully you got something and you could see enough to participate and enjoy.
484. 1:49:16And uh, yeah. All right. Hope that's well. Hope that's well and have a fantastic fourth. All right. Peace out, everybody.
485. 1:49:26Have a great weekend. Did they?
