ANECDOTE

Buff Presidents Photo Experiment

  • Kevin used Midjourney for hours to create a series called "Buff Presidents" as a dumb creative experiment.
  • The images varied from photorealistic Obama to surreal versions of historical presidents and sparked playful commentary on aging and imagery tools.
ADVICE

Use DragGAN For Controlled Image Warping

  • Try DragGAN to manipulate GAN-generated images by dragging points and letting the model hallucinate intermediate frames.
  • Mask areas to lock parts of the image and achieve controlled edits, but remember it works only on GAN images unless you convert photos first.
ADVICE

Experiment With ZeroScope Text-to-Video

  • Try ZeroScope's open-source text-to-video models inside Automatic1111 to cheaply generate short videos.
  • Run them on cheap cloud machines (runpod) to produce many clips at low cost instead of paying premium services.
