On last night’s Darkstream, after discussing the recent unmasking of longtime civic nationalists as the foreign ethnonationalists they truly are, I demonstrated some interesting AI technologies that I’m optimistic will allow Arkhaven to start putting up digital shorts on UATV soon. Here are two examples of screenshots, not rendered images, screenshots from a digital video, based on the lead character of the Black Warrant comic.
And below it are two screenshots taken from a digital video from Midnight’s War. Notice that while the scene is familiar, neither image is a specific image that you’ve seen before from the comics, they are from the videos produced using those images as starting points.
If this is the sort of project you’d be interested in volunteering for – which would require getting your own subscriptions to one or more AI services – feel free to mention that in the comments on SG. And if its the sort of thing you’d like to help support, please subscribe to UATV.
To be clear, this is NOT related to the Black Warrant project for which The Legend and I completed the script yesterday. That’s a traditional film project with a studio, a producer, and the works which we are not going to be financing. But the current state of the technology, combined by our vast library of comic art, suggests to me that the time for micro-episodes and eventually episodes of longer stories is now dawning.
It feels rather like where we were with AI music about this time last year. And if you watched last night’s Darkstream, it’s easy to see how far that has come in the last 12 months.
