#ProjectOdyssey Season 2 wrapped last night with their Award Presentation live stream. Proud to have placed in the top three for the Behind the Scenes category. Hard to image the level of sophistication these tools will reach in the coming year. #AIfilmmaking

"Generated by Valley Hi AI," blends uncanny avatars, deformed Corollas, and surreal spaghetti consumption into a gonzo fever dream of car salesmanship.

I love these series of examples from Jon Finger highlighting Pika's new “Additions” tool. Probably time to circle back and check that out www.linkedin.com/posts/jonfin...

If you’re like me and can’t do the dishes without cueing up a favorite podcast, you might want a reprieve from the oppressive amount of Elon news. So treat yourself to Sidedoor's classic episode on the “Gentle Anarchy” of the Muppets.

Anyone who has ever lost track of that perfect b-roll shot featuring two otters holding hands can now just ask Premiere to find that shot featuring two otters holding hands. Assuming you’re not editing some kind of otter fetish film, the shot will be quickly located for you. tinyurl.com/2bwvzajp

The first Matinee AI newsletter is now live. If you're fascinated, flummoxed or even furious about the growth of AI filmmaking then give it a read and lets connect #digitalart open.substack.com/pub/matineea...

Project 0dyssey AI finalists are out today, and I’m really excited to share that my Behind the Scenes entry (The Dude Behind the Dude, civitai.com/images/52754... ) has been short listed in the Top 25. Now for coffee and a look at some of the other finalists civitai.com/collections/...

@404mediaco wins the morning with a cheeky headline (x.com/404mediaco/s...). #DeepSeekFreakout That led down a rabbit hole to an article on a 97' lawsuit where NYT was cast in the Open AI role vs. a cadre of freelance writers. An interesting read tinyurl.com/6sj6sabd

@ProjectOdysseyAI finalists will be announced on Friday, making it easier to find the standout entries. BUT, in the meantime I did want to share a selection from the Social Media category. You would not have seen one like it just a year ago. Behold Animal Runway civitai.com/images/51737...

I have questions about #DeepSeek. Can I use it to cheat on my book report about Tiananmen Square? What would Jevons Paradox look like if it was a cartoon animal (see below) To get some clarity I turned to this Hardfork emergency podcast #DeepSeekFreakout open.spotify.com/show/44fllCS...

You know what I need? A terrifying German Expressionist mindf*#k to supercharge my subconscious with high octane nightmare fuel. Check out @ProjectOdysseyAI entry “I Saw this Man” civitai.com/images/51649... . You can practically feel Rod Serling's hot breath on your neck from beyond the grave.

@ProjectOdysseyAI grand total, OVER 4500 ENTRIES. Don't think I can grok over 4 thousand short films but I'm doing my darndest. I believe this entry has already been optioned as a new project for Jenna Ortega (Tim Burton to direct? I smell Golden Globe) civitai.com/images/51598...

The final release in my @ProjectOdysseyAI trilogy was made for the “Behind the Scenes” category. I detailed some of my favorite tools & inspiration for the hairy hijinks in “Dude Where’s My Beard”. Now I’m off to watch more from my fellow entrants civitai.com/posts/11851718

My daughter and I opened an Etsy shop this holiday. She’d designed a cool “Christmas List” template to sell. & w/ Project Odyssey going I used it as an opportunity for more AI experiments. Here’s our collab for “The List Max Pro” (Happy Commerce Day nerds!) @ProjectOdysseyAI

If you've ever asked yourself "Dude Where's My Beard?", then its time to celebrate the question in song! To create this @ProjectOdysseyAI video I used #Kling, #FreePik, and #Viggle (ah, sweet sweet Viggle) You can see it along with other entries here civitai.com/posts/11506089 #ProjectOdysseyAI

Looking for @nanowrimo.bsky.social people! After 8 years of false starts and failed attempts I've finally completed the NanoWriMo challenge. Make no mistake, it's 50,000 words worth of flaming garbage, but I think there may be the kernel of something there under the charred debris. #nanowrimo

First Blue Sky post. Nothing particularly interesting about my exit from Twitter/X since I never cared for it much in the first place, so they won't miss me any more than I miss them (and I certainly won't miss being spammed by bots disguised as Serbian singles) Curious to see what it's like here
