The Stars Are Our Big Screen: A Journey Through AI and VFX
A Journey Through AI and VFX
Take a leap into the future of creativity with "The Stars Are Our Big Screen," a visual project where AI and VFX techniques collide to craft a visually stunning narrative. This piece explores how cutting-edge tools and human expertise can transform simple ideas into cinematic storytelling, showcasing the endless possibilities of technology in design.
The use of After Effects was essential in elevating this project to a professional standard. After importing the AI-generated visuals from Runway, I leveraged After Effects to refine the raw material through advanced compositing and editing. This included adding seamless transitions, color grading to unify the overall look, music, sound effects and applying intricate VFX techniques that transformed fragmented clips into a cohesive cinematic experience.
Tools of the Trade: A Blend of AI and Professional Editing
Throughout this project, I utilized a range of tools to achieve the final result:
Midjourney for creating the initial images.
Photoshop for editing and refining these visuals.
Runway for generating videos from the images.
Freepik for backgrounds
After Effects for visual effects and final editing.
Each tool played a crucial role in shaping the narrative, demonstrating the synergy between AI innovation and human expertise.
Styleframes (VFX and Runway)
Styleframes serve as a visual blueprint, showcasing the pivotal moments that define the narrative. For this project, I developed three key styleframes that encapsulate the mood, color palette, and storytelling elements of the final piece. Each frame highlights the blend of AI-generated visuals and refined VFX techniques, providing a glimpse into the cinematic vision behind the project.
