    we made everything according to plan…

    ✓ Finished the script

    ✓ Found an actress

    ✓ Made all the Props

    ✓ Filmed all scenes

    ….and..

    we hated it.

    so we started from scratch.

    We finalized the script:

    Made a timeline & a shotlist:

    Trial and Error with 10 and more different AI models.

    Categories of competences we need from an AI:

    • Video generation
    • with audio
    • more than 5s video content
    • real-looking, camera style
    • Character consistency over several clips
    • Voice consistency over several clips
    • First frame/last frame, add to former scenes
    • not super expensive

    We tried:

    • Sora 2 (Open AI)
    • MindVideo (Pro subsciption)
    • Gemini (Google)
    • Flow (Google)
    • Comfy UI
    • OpenArt
    • Dzine
    • Digen AI
    • Several Hugging face models
    • Chat GPT
    • Adobe suite

    SOME of the bad results:

    And some good ones:

    Sound mood board:

    A lot of complicated workflows:

    We were at the coding lab

    Current expenses for subscriptions:

    • MindVideo: 26€
    • OpenArt: 7€
    • Dzine: 14€

    We still need a 54€ subscription for when we run out of free credits in Flow.

    Questions:

    • Does the film need to contain our names/DI etc.?
    • How much of the finals presentation is about the process?

    I built the wishing device!

    Footage shot. In the editing phase now.

    Completed and unfinished sections of the film:

    √ 1. Beginning: a chat on the hill about what we would do on the last day of the world (1’08 min)

    2. A video explaining “What happens to Earth after an asteroid impact.”

    Video is turned off suddenly.

    News page of the failure of the defence plan. The asteroid IS coming.

    I break down.

    • Option 1: the record of my real breakdown triggered by a documentary about the pandemic
    • Option 2: the faked ones I shot

    √ 3. Introduce my idea of making a wish to the asteroid. (2’31 min)

    I become excited and explain the idea of wishing to an asteroid.
    I talk about how and when to wish,
    and introduce the idea of making a wearable device.

    √ 4. Test the prototype and tie knots. (1’30 min)

    (Holding the prototype and test the sound effects) You’re filming.
    (Tying knots) Making Chinese knots in middle school craft class was my nightmare.
    So hard to get it right.
    (Hang up the string and pointing at teh knots) Zaojing knot. Double connection knot.
    Hope this helps the wish come true.

    5. Montage of buildings and tyings with news reports. Time flies. (My next priority for cutting.)

    1) building

    2) tying knots

    • more technical vibe? more scenes of the orbits of the asteroid/more analyses??
    • code testing with the real device

    √ 6. Ending part (4’19 min)

    • Strong wind and heavy snow
    • A relatively bright sky
    • a long monologue to the camera. Some last words.
    • go up the hill
    • when the sound rises, make the wish

    Electric part works, but worse light condition and no wind.

    I prefer the one with wind. (Option: post produce the LED effects in AE)

    Extra: Also took photos (excluded from the film)

    Already 9’30 min. Aim to edit the whole film down to 15min.

    Footage Draft

    Video

    Raw Footage/ Running Clip Snipped:

    Audio

    New Role of Sound: it is what connects to his inner feelings and the ghost orchestra – but doesn’t solely carry the story now. It is a part of it, just like the rest :

    because we got into the visuals and it made sense to us to also focus on visuals. It naturally developed and it felt like the focus on the sound limited us.

    We managed to make much more with the visuals than we thought we can do. Now each dimension of the film equally tells its part of the story.

    Sound: snipped

    Animations

    Style Test with Test Footage:

    First Parts of Final Animation Style

    The Red Thread

    the colour RED connects:

    • emotions
    • ghost orchestra
    • protagonist
    • sound

    We chose the color red to act as a visual thread throughout the entire film. It appears always in connection with the bodies listed above.

    Questions we have

    How do you feel about the name ” Ghost Orchestra” for our film?
