New Technologies GIF
2023-01-26

As creatives, sometimes we get “stuck” and aren’t sure what to make, but it’s best to just keep making. I challenged myself to create an animated GIF in less than an hour. Much of what I do is from “play” like this, experimentation, but bigger work usually grows from it.

The foreground was made using /blend on two MidJourney images using the prompt below (with some terms and style swapping). I processed the images in Photoshop, created masks, and exported PNGs with alpha transparency. I then used Premiere to add rotation to the interior as well as an animated “searchlight” look in Premiere. I imagine this as some kind of advanced technology, but honestly, I don’t know what it does… yet.

InPainting, aka Vary Region

When I am wrong I admit to it, and guess what - I was wrong. The royal we have been wanting and begging MidJourney to add inpainting for what feels like eons. As many of you know, I am a HUGE advocate and word-spreader for MidJourney BUT what I also did is constantly...

One Year Later

I just saw this pop up in my memories and it gave me a good feeling. A year ago today I released the first version of Prompter (the prompt-building spreadsheet) for free just to see if people would use it... I never thought that a year later it would get so much...
