Lately I’ve been playing around with Stable Diffusion and was currious how I could integrate it in my workflow. I was asked to produce the Key-Visual for the 19th BestAustrianAnimation Festival in Vienna and yes I used AI for the first time in my workflow.
I tried to make a hybrid and used clips of my prerenderd 3D smoke animations to trigger the AI image generations.
Year: 2023
The animation opens up a variety of familiar perspectives generated by AI on the subject of war and conflict that we are confronted with today. The recognizable images of destruction create the backdrop for a world torn apart by war. It shows the human cost of war, the suffering of innocent people and the devastation of the environment while we are caught up in our happy lifestyles watching films at the cinema. The video could show the importance of diplomacy and understanding, and the power of hope and resilience in contemplation of death and adversity. A call for peace.
