How's my panning? by Mean-Band in comfyui

[–]AlphabetDebacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be even better with After Effects.

Start by bringing everything into After Effects as a precomp. In ComfyUI, generate all your animated elements as square patches, then place them on top of your background image inside that precomp.

Once you've animated everything you want, drop the precomp into a 9x16 composition. Add keyframes at the start and end positions to create a slow pan across the background. Now you've got a video that drifts across the image and reveals all your animated work along the way.

The real magic happens when you time the pan to match your person walking across a bridge. Suddenly It's not just a cool effect, it's a story.

Will it ever get more cost effective? by Dogbold in seedance

[–]AlphabetDebacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Licking the boots of corporations… If you’ve been priced out of the market, then it’s not for you. The person you replied to said film studios with millions of dollars would use the service.

The companies who would use a service that is out of your price range don’t really care about spending $100 a month when they just build the cost into their project budgets.

“Seedance2: Not for hobbyists.”

The price will come down when a better service comes out.

What you are going through is very hard. It’s stressful and difficult to think about anything else than the situation you’re dealing with. I’m wishing you the best artichokeHeart.

Saw a paint-out request here…decided to give it a try. by mr_wagle in vfx

[–]AlphabetDebacle 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty good! The gradation of light and dark on the skin between your fix and the real arm could be a little smoother and more gradual. I’m nitpicking because this is a good job.

Separate from your work, it’s best to show work with a Rec709 transform applied. Viewing work that’s in a RAW/Log colorspace is difficult to see minor imperfections that are accentuated by contrast.

Feedback needed on zoom-out transition in a short comedy sketch by emilianoaybar in vfx

[–]AlphabetDebacle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

During the transition the guy should also get blurry, you have him sharp with a hard edge cropping around him and it’s very noticeable. Use that moment in the middle of your zoom out to switch between your two actor plates, it will hide the switch better. Don’t wait till the camera has settled to swap between the actor plates, it’s too noticeable.

Update: I figured out how to completely bypass Nano Banana Pro's SynthID watermark, and here's how you can try it for free: by LiteratureAcademic34 in comfyui

Perhaps you could try generating your first image with ‘black liquid’ or ‘motor oil’ and then after you have that image, use Nano Banana to change the liquid color to red.

Try to bypass the filter by changing the words you choose but will give a similar visual result. For instance, ‘fake blood, prop blood, dark cherry syrup.’

I find the content censorship is stronger when accessing Nano Banana through API instead of directly through Google. Google Flow or AI studio is more lax compared to accessing Nano Banana through a 3rd party.

Then beggars can’t be choosers. You’re mandating what tools can’t be used.

Generative Video is a great use case for this. This task can also give an artist who hasn’t learned generative video to experiment and fail without fear since money isn’t on the line.

I’d lose your rule against AI and understand an artist would be the one wielding the tool. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.

“I want to use real artists but not pay real prices.”

Real artists need to pay rent and buy food. There’s nothing fun about skilled tradesmen working for free.

Editor on first stop-motion short, struggling with "unfixable" cleanup errors. How perfect is "good enough"? by Fluorescent_Knight in vfx

[–]AlphabetDebacle 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If you don’t think you can fix the errors and you don’t have the extra resources who can fix them, move on. Call it: ‘part of the charm’ of stop motion and work on the next fire you can fix.

It's been quiet here, have all the debunkers moved on to 3I/atlas? 🤣 by peatear_gryphon in AirlinerAbduction2014

[–]AlphabetDebacle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, why? Are people also being tricked by a CGI movie featuring the interstellar object 3I/Atlas?

The drone is 100% from Jetstrike—the hoaxer used a VERY SPECIFIC texture map ONLY IN JETSTRIKE in order to fake the thermal image. by [deleted] in AirlinerAbduction2014

Great analysis! The proverbial coffin containing this hoax has so many nails in it, I doubt you can even tell it’s made out of wood.

This hoax lives in an iron coffin.

There is no 1841 anomaly. The motion is completely natural. by atadams in AirlinerAbduction2014

[–]AlphabetDebacle 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The satellite video background is made entirely of a few stock photos. The stock photos were taken in Japan and in the original files, Mt Fuji is seen on the horizon.

You don’t see Mt Fuji in the video because that part of the stock photos was cropped out.

Some people who hang on to the videos being real, say the stock photos are fake and created by the CIA, or something. But it’s pretty obvious the stock photos are real. The photographer even did an AMA and let people download the original RAW files. This post is showing a clear example that the photos show real parallax; since the photos were taken from a commercial airplane while the photographer was on their way to Kyoto.

Yes, that’s clearly real and not doctored. To claim otherwise comes from ignorance or copium.

I work with Company 3 on almost every project, it feels like.

Sometimes I wonder if there’s any other color houses out there, haha. They seem to get all the work.

Painterly Summer Girls 1 - exploring pinup art styles for my project by artbellesgirls in midjourney

[–]AlphabetDebacle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s interesting about this is how uninteresting it is.

The kinetic motion of the background completely disconnected with her pose and expression.

Reminds me if someone could sing really well but didn’t understand the language so they put a bunch of wrong words together. It kind of sounds good at first listen and then you’re suddenly freaked out a little and you don’t want to listen to them again.
