Cheers. Thanks for watching!

Thanks. Funny, UA-cam put this comment in my "Held for review" bin as if it were potentially offensive. I guess UA-cam doesn't like it when people like my art.

I wrote them. It's a companion to my short film "Gargoyles VS. Trailer Park" so it tells the story. I am rather proud of the line and title "Calling all Gargoyles".

@@artvsmachine very nice

I share you preference.

Thanks for watching and sharing your synopsis!

Yeah. I didn't know it at the time, but the AI I was using deliberately F'd up celebrities' faces. I tried to fix them in Photoshop before animating them. Nowadays I've found a workaround. Jules is really celebrated in the end though.

@@artvsmachine right on 🤘🏼

Yeah. Mixed his own genes with the Xenomorph strain to immortalize himself in the hybrids. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad you enjoyed it. There's more where that came from.

Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun with the different ships, going for a retro vibe, and an array of styles.

If I made a video with that title and that content it would get 10X-100X as many views and ad revenue.

Where?

You know how when someone says "modern art" we think of art from around 1900-1970 or thereabouts. Then we think of "contemporary" as anything from 1970 to around 2,000. Those are just associations with the terms. Then for the newest wave of "radical" art we use "post contemporary" probably just because otherwise art that was "contemporary" has to be recategorized as "modern", and "modern" art as "classical"... I prefer rock music to most art made in the last half century or more, but I make art myself. I'm not one for the BS, either. Though, sometimes I get some art others don't and vice-versa.

There seems to be really a lot of anger going around. Maybe it's the runup to the U.S. election. I'm seeing far more angry, hostile comments than usual.

@artvsmachine3703 Yeah probably. But my point is what makes someone individually special just because they are doing "art?" Sure, humanity is special. But you don't get to force your ideas down people's throats in public just because you can. In some sense, that is authoritative. And in no sense is that art. It's mental hostage taking. The whole post modern identity is.

Abstract became expression, expression became abstract expression, and then all you are left with is a pile of drugged up people writhing in paint. Don't get me wrong. Context matters. If it is a direct experience, that changes everything. But that doesn't make it commercially viable. Lifestyles change, I like piles and drugs as much as the next, but I also understand the necessity to be understood with language. In fact, the concept of shunning society for the individual identity is laughable since identity and language are intimately linked.

There's good and bad "postmodernism". The good side of the spectrum incorporates popular culture and references from disparate periods and weaves them into a coherent web with a sense of irony. Not surprisingly it often works best with humor. The Simpsons or Futurama are perfect examples. The bad kind of postmodernism rejects reality and the past in favor of linguistic games that amount to little more than mental masturbation. I wrote a long article about what is wrong with postmodernism: artofericwayne.com/2020/02/13/how-postmodernism-has-worked-against-us-2/ Interestingly, when I used to participate on reddit before being banned by the "art theory" "contemporary art" and "art history" subreddits I shared some of my articles. The "art" subreddits I just mentioned all hated my writing and a posse followed me around on reddit and downvoted anything I shared into oblivion. The philosophy subreddit, however, liked my thinking.

I hear Gavin Newsom is a Martian.

Yeah, other people's AI videos get 10X to 100X as many views. Anyway, it allows me to fly low under the radar. Other people are making AI videos for the algorithm and the lowest common denominator. I'm making art and cater to no one and nothing other than my own inner compass.

@@artvsmachine Yes there bis a few around. A few Star Wars some Marvel.🤫🤫🤫🇭🇲🦘✌️

He'll be fine. Everyone who came off the ship was fine. He'll just need to adjust to the limited diet. They aren't going to have hamburgers on a UFO. It's astronaut food from another planet.

Interesting insight in general regardless of my short film.

Are you an artist? I could draw much better than him in High School. His sense of color is milquetoast. He did loose tracings. Did you even know that? Quirky loose tracings were his style. At best they are cute and fashionable without having any gravitas or substance. Boring is an overstatement. They were very light commercial art.

I'm not quoting directly because I can't remember exactly where I heard it... but Andy, in an interview, gave an answer to the question, "How would you define your art?" With... it isn't art, really. It's only a response to the postmodern movement and what people believe they want. I wouldn't do this if people didn't pay me to. There is nothing to it at all.

That sounds about right. He would say things like that which seemed like he was punking the interviewers, but could also very well be true. When asked why he copies extant things, he said something to the effect of "because it's easy". And that can be true as a sort of self-indictment, but also can be celebrated by him, his buyers, and critics as a new and fresh, even radical approach. Whatever sells the most art for the highest prices!

Indeed.

Good point, except that they sold it for what a real Leonardo would go for.

The Halloween thing was an afterthought. Mostly embracing it to help insure I finish it within a month. This one may go longer, and be my first full on short film by conventional standards. Y'know, not a trailer, music video, or experimental film. No narration.

Ah, glad you liked that ending. Most people who do these trailers don't change the story. I figure, "why not?" I'm working on a new full-on original short film. Now I have a couple more techniques that just became available. I will be releasing a sneak preview within 24 hours. And thanks for watching, and commenting!

Thank you kindly!

Ah, thanks for watching and remembering the chorus!

Thanks! Ah, the methods were too many and too convoluted to share. I used Midjourney, Haiper, 11 labs, Photoshop, Audacity, Sunio, Udio and Filmora. And my workflow is kinda' nuts, too. Glad you enjoyed it. You might enjoy some of my other AI vids.

Gotta hook people so they keep watching or the algorithm will burry the video.
