I can’t believe this is real!!! 🤯
Getting my art onto the Sphere has been my biggest goal for years and now it’s a reality. I’m so grateful and honored, and stoked that @Abel_Okugawa joined me on this ride. His music is the other half of my art 💛

Representing Dorothy’s journey from sepia Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, digital artist David Ariew takes viewers on a visual color story that begins in a field of golden light and builds through a crescendo of color before arriving at the luminous green of Emerald City.

@vinhiam That’s fair. I tried to use SAM3 the other day but the whole site was erroring out for me. I haven’t heard of the others though - will check them out!
Create compositing mattes in seconds with Aleph 2.0
Mattes let you isolate a subject from its background so you can composite, color or apply effects to just one part of your shot.
1. Upload your video
2. Prompt for a white silhouette on black
3. Review your preview
4. Hit generate
5. Set your matte clip as a luma matte in your editor
Clean mattes, ready for compositing. No rotoscoping required.
@pixelfondue 💯 but Adobe and the like have been resting on their laurels for decades and are extremely slow moving behemoths. They're inneficient and can't pivot like more modern companies can.
nature vs machine
working on a @ComfyUI node for overlaying graphics onto footage, guided by masks or pose data. Still not quite there yet so the gfx here were mostly partly in AE
Really good question and I don't know how to articulate the answer. I work very fast and as long as I get to 80 or 90% satisfied I call it and move on. I also like getting paid and while I have very high standards, I'm not crippled by perfectionism.
Any idea I have could be tweaked ad nauseum and improved upon forever, but I get bored in that phase thankfully and there's a threshold I cross where to me it's "good enough" and to the general public it's amazing. So basically, if your taste and standards exceed most other people's then you can let go of some of the ultra tweaky shit that takes 100% more time and would add maybe 10% extra goodness.
On the other hand, I have infinite respect for those who love to work on a single still for a month or two and perfect it to mindblowing levels of detail. Looking at you @planetzomax !
@Yokohara_h So cool!
Yeah the misalignments are a deal breaker a lot of the time. Especially with the idea of creating passes (light passes are huge for me with concert visuals), if there’s any misalignment, it’s a total fail.
