Spooky (with AI Video)

[treesha]

My next attempt at using free AI video generators to make a video for my song. It features some of my neighbors, all but one of which I have had around here (you can guess which one I haven't encountered) in a hopefully entertaining take on Halloween in the high desert. I used Addictive Drums 2, SI bass, some percussion from AAS presets, Kontakt Hybrid Keys, UJAM Sparkle guitar, and  used lots of melodyne and various spacious fx.  It was interesting just as I was making the many short free video clips, new places to get free ones kept popping up so there is quite a bit of inconsistency in the quality of the free images and videos. They seemed to improve so then I would have to redo an older one at the new site. I could have gone on longer doing that but felt done enough. There seemed to be fewer hellucinations (Halloween pun) this time around which is interesting. Again some made me laugh when I saw what AI created from my prompt or image,  so I enjoyed the process. I may replace a few clips in the future but for now wanted to post this and move on to the next thing. Thanks for listening and any feedback, And Happy Halloween! Treesha

Living in the desert city, where it's not uncommon to have cacti in front yards and whatnot, I have had a few momentary waking nightmares during night bicycle rides past some of the creepier looking damaged or deformed saguaros, in years past, so the visuals on this one are...memorius (not a word, but I don't know a right one; nothing seems to fit).  

 

I like it overall; the only changes I would probably make if I were doing it is add a more gradual intro sound (but I do that a lot) and probably add some spooky / wierd noises to match the visuals (probably out of one of the SampleTraxx sets like Rituals, Volta, Old Broken Piano, Torsion, --there are some *great* horror sounds in these!; I used a few within the Aftermath of Sunlight and it's sequel Pre-Cast Shadows neither of whcih is very good but you can get the idea of what some of the sounds in those sets are like.  They have some packs even more horror-oriented than those that I have not yet used in anything like Danza Macabre).

Not a fan of AI video but the music was very cool. If you like the Sparkle Guitar (like me), Native Instruments has an interesting instrument called Desolate Guitars Fragment (that is a free version of their Desolate Guitars) that has a great Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks music) vibe to it.
