KSP "Hometown" Music Video DEMO

Tech demo of KSP unreleased HOMETOWN, from a live radio demo. The main issue with lip sync here is vocalist wasn't completely locked to the radio performance while miming for the music video, but that would improve with a rehearsed album version. The purpose of the demo is to analyze the solve and smooth out lip sync, and understand performance and technical issues. No characters are real people, characters were selected on the basis of best performance for the slot. AUDIO rights to KSP, VIDEO by Talon Nightshade, LALA-Arts

Noir by Animal with Pants

SNEAK PREVIEW!

A 17 minute musical and visual odyssey, with content spanning the terrestrial, infernal, and divine. This is a slice of Noir, the infernal part of the the tryptic. This video was created by taking Public Domain imagery selected around medical, science, insect and occult themes and using them to train a LORA, as well as using an LLM to generate prompts from the output of the Model. then Images are reused with that same LORA to generate images of similar content with dark and surreal results thanks to the feedback loop.

The resulting images were cut together and composited in After Effects using a metric montage technique. Music: Huge Blur (Noir Section) by Animal with Pants -all instruments and programing Talon Nightshade. This Live Electronic Music was created the old fashioned way with keyboards and sequencers, loop pedals and live sampled guitars. AUDIO rights to Animal with Pants.
