I can't believe it's been since August that I've been doing this!
Funny story, a friend is proposing a marketing campaign for Nissan on Monday, and asked me to generate a few images yesterday for his proposal, I don't know if it will lead to anything, but I can't believe that people could be even remotely interested in something that I consider like a hobby!
I think there is a learning curve, but if I want to be completely honest, the tools are just getting better and better, very rapidly, so even someone that is just starting today could have great results...
Pretty soon you'll be making music videos and incorporating your music with your other new passion, AI art.
It's interesting and inspiring what you said, yesterday I humored myself, and for my next music video, I wanted to see if I can use one of my own images (a picture from that video), and transform it with AI.
The whole video for the music video is roughly 6000 images (24 frames/s) so it will take me a while to create something, altering all the images.
For now the software that I have is a little bit too random in term of result, but maybe next month or so, with the next update, it will be possible.
And then the sky is the limit, interesting what you said the other day "cursed with talent", because my creativity goes in all directions, a bit like a film maker, I can't wait to be able to tell stories on screen!
Anyway rambling a bit here, thanks Beef!
Hobbies, if one spends enough time on them, you never know where they will go.
One of our boys speaks of the time it takes to become a master at whatever it is that you're into. I don't remember the scholar's name, but he talks about 10,000 hours being the magic number.
The tools just keep getting better, which is mind-blowing, I'm not sure where this AI stuff is headed but what can be created with it is already magical.
If you pull that off, altering 6,000 images may give you the 10,000 hours needed to become a master of this ever-growing form of artistic expression.
Good luck with it all, it sure seems to have tickled your fancy.
That's a good way to see things! I want to keep it fun for now, I saw what "working" in the music industry did with my perception of music, and maybe keeping it fresh is the only to still enjoy what I do in the future. Once you start putting the "I make a living with this" factor in front of something that you enjoy, the pressure becomes too much.
Yes, I agree with the 10 000 hours needed to become a master, totally true!
