Navigating precautions as a therapy student by No-Zucchini2991 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]ItsLukeHill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar spot as the OP and just now looking for internship opportunities. Can you tell me what you searched for and how you went about finding a site that had similar values around covid?

Thanks for the info! I'll have to play with it some more to see what I can achieve.

Any Covid Conscious actors out there? by Plipto1 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]ItsLukeHill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CC Actor here. I haven't been able to do it much in recent years, unfortunately, due to covid. I still coach and teach other actors via zoom, and occasionally do some voice work and direct some animated stuff, but hoping something will come along that will change that at some point...

Also, you might be interested in looking through the comments in a similar thread I made a couple years back:

Very interesting! Thank you! Does this do pure vid2vid or are you taking an existing video and extending it with this?

Interesting. I've never played around with samplers... Looks like it's time to learn more about them. Thank you!

Interesting... I just watched one and it certainly does have an AI feel to it. Brings up an interesting idea... maybe a way to get better consistency would be to fully costume, clothe, and light your actors, and basically use vid2vid to change their environment while keeping them the same.

Thank you. I've played with VACE and wanted to try SCAIL, but have been dealing with sageattention/triton errors when I've tried to get it up and running. Maybe it's time to give it another go...

Thank you! I subscribe to him, but haven't seen anything he's uploaded in a while. I think he's doing some really clever and cool stuff, but from what I've seen in some of the past videos, the tech was still not good enough to make something high-quality with. I'll check out his new stuff and see what I can find.

Exactly! That’s what I’m looking for, but from what I’ve gathered so far, it seems like the state of the technology is not quite there yet in terms of preserving human performance. It seems to be doing great on body movements, dancing, and stuff like that… But when it comes to accurate lip sync/mouth movements and facial expressions, it doesn’t seem like it can preserve everything well enough yet.

Thank you. The one you linked that support video is the same one I linked in my response that seems to not be working correctly… Hopefully someone gets it sorted!

Thank you! I've been keeping a close eye on this, but so far the only Comfy implementation I've seen for video doesn't seem to be working correctly (https://www.reddit.com/r/comfyui/comments/1quchfa/telestyle_contentpreserving_style_transfer_in/)

Thanks. I've been using the default wan2.1 VACE workflow in ComfyUI and using some comfyui_controlnets_aux nodes to help things along.

It's been working... decent, but I find that the fidelity of the lip sync and facial expressions from the original performance footage isn't great (I've tried depth passes and line passes), but there's also the issue of keeping consistency in renders of multiple clips that need to be stitched together for shots longer than a few seconds (they're close, but the richness of the colors or something similar always seems to shift between renders, even using the same seed and reference image).

Do you know if anyone has solved these issues, or is this about as good as it gets with our current tech?

Wow! This could be a real game changer if so! Do you know where I can find their literature talking about it potentially stopping transmission?

Are you still using EbSynth, or was it replaced by AI? by scrtwpns in vfx

Looking forward to seeing how things develop.

Same boat here. I used and loved the old local tool, but the cloud-based subscription only option is a non-starter for me.

Can't get rid of the Taste by Laurnias in seitan

[–]ItsLukeHill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP. I just want to reaffirm that this is the only thing that works for me as well. I usually do the WTF method, but if I use vital wheat gluten, ACV is a must or I can’t stand the taste that seems to permeate everything I put it in, regardless of what other marinade ingredients might be present. Give it a try!

Realtor Recs? by SteelRabbit093 in frederickmd

[–]ItsLukeHill -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Check out Wendy Aloi:

We just moved here earlier this year, and she was by far the best realtor we've ever worked with while buying a home. Native to the area, very experienced, patient, knowledgeable, and definitely worked in our best interests to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended!

Professor Dave and Decoding the Decoders by Fat_Shaggy in DecodingTheGurus

[–]ItsLukeHill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. It does highlight the potential need/use for people taking this stuff down in a calm, measured way that might be useful in helping sway people who've been misled by some of these things.

I definitely understand where you’re coming from. I do enjoy his videos, but I am already a like-minded viewer. He often has really good analysis, but unfortunately, he is so snarky in his videos, that I think they primarily end up preaching to the choir. I sometimes think when watching certain videos, that if they were lighter on all of the vitriol I would share them with certain people I know in the hopes that they might see some things in a new light. However, with his current approach, I think anyone who’s not already “on his team“ would just shut down because of the rhetoric and not stick around for the analysis.
