Burla22 “Machine”, new music video
During the spring of this year, my friend and collaborator from Rimini Burla22, who in addition to being an exceptional musician is also a very good writer and illustrator, asked me to make a video set in the woods for a track he was particularly interested in, dedicated to his dog Machine. The song is poignant and emotional and I tried to create the magic and amazement but also the fear that you feel when walking in the midst of nature, beautiful but also wild and often harsh.
Also in this case I relied on the dreamlike visions of AnimateDiff, the AI model that allows you to generate moving images with Stable Diffusion. It is a model full of limitations and therefore spectacular, because it is able to go beyond our imagination in the scene transitions and in the evolution of the scenes.
What I like when I use these tools is to see where they end up, because they often lead me down unexpected paths… and this process really requires a lot of dedication and patience, many hours of work and most of what is produced ends up later to be thrown away… I say this for those who think that “AI does everything by itself” and those who fear that AI will replace us 🙂 …for now they are just a development tool like all tools are digital available to “create” content.
