AI Movies are Right here: Chris Ianuzzi Drops His Second AI-created Music Video for His Single ‘Lonesome Freeway Celebrity’ [Video]

A YEDM favourite by now or his endlessly attention-grabbing experimental preparations and chaotic variety each in his musical compositions and his multimedia movies, Chris Ianuzzi is now diving head-first into an space many artists are simply beginning to poke round: AI artwork and movies. Since his acclaimed Maze LP was dropped single by single ending in April of this 12 months, Ianizzu hinted he could be doing the same development with movies, and he’s formally into that mission with the discharge on November 4th with “Lonesome Freeway Celebrity,” the second video from the Maze mega-album.

The only “March of Insanity,” launched as a particular video that was the fruits of Maze, was really the primary video on which Ianuzzi and his crew utilized AI expertise, each within the animation and the morphing of the faces. “Lonesome Freeway Celebrity” is the primary, nevertheless, that's nearly totally A.I.-created. Made in collaboration with the identical graphic artists who labored on “March of Insanity,” İlke Köse and  Ethem Serkan Sökmen, this video utilized each Disco Diffusion and Stable Diffusion AI picture era. Between the 2 strategies, the crew created a video that feels each surreal and hyperreal, with trippy, abstrac varieties morphing into photorealistic characters and vice versa.

The inspiration for this, in keeping with Ianuzzi, was a kind of space-themed model of The Street Warrior. 

My preliminary concept for a video was a ‘Street Warrior’-type video with a beat up automotive on a desert freeway. After I considered this and noticed what Serkan andİlke did with AI in making the video “for March of Insanity,” I assumed it was time to seek for one thing totally different. I assumed, let’s put the character in area and make the journey Cosmic. I shared my ideas with them and off they went.

The video appears to seize the sense of lonliness paired with marvel Ianuzzi was attempting to connote within the observe as effectively, with the extra formless visuals being lovely and awe-inspiring however finally chilly and sterile, particularly as soon as the POV shifts to the human varieties. Wearing area fits and nonetheless created by AI as they're, the humanness of their motions and play on the “desert freeway in area” is a stark distinction to all of the viewer has seen to this point. Regardless of these pictures not being practically as spectacular because the extremely styled “area” pictures, there’s extra of a connection to them than anything within the video, and it appears far too quick a clip.

The video ends with a query, as a warped photorealistic spaceship tries to construct and rebuild istelf time and again inside this hyperreal however clearly not actual area: will we ever be capable of totally coexist with AI, or, for that matter, some other types of intelligence, whether or not terrestrial or further? It stays to be seen at this level, however the reply will not be too far off because the technolog continues to develop. Within the meantime Ianuzzi sees all of it as the identical query: after we continuously attain out for extra, whether or not it's AI, area, and even simply searching for companionship on a desert higway, are we simply serving to extra totally isolate ourselves? That’s a extra everlasting query, and it appears the “Lonesome Freeway Celebrity” doesn’t have the reply fairly but.
