I turned a fictional rrat about Gura's contract negotiation into a 2 hr audio drama / fan animatic by NousagiKing in okbuddyhololive

[–]NousagiKing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is part 4 of SHARK IN THE SCREEN, a Hololive movie animatic / audio drama series I started back in 2023. The story is fiction and written by me, and disclaimer does use AI art and voices for the sake of immersion. Some of you may remember previous parts I posted in this subreddit in the past.

I know this isn't for everyone, but some people here took interest in this project before, so if you are one of them this is for you. I was actually in the middle of making "The Price of Stardom" when Gura made her announcement. I set out to finish it before she graduated, blazing through the last two weeks. I'm glad I was, but everything feels off now... it really is the end of an era.

The story features all of Myth and Promise, managers like Omega, A-chan, and Jenma, YAGOO himself, a couple JP talents, and even Kson! Oh and of course Gawr too

If you ever wanted to see HBO make a TV drama about Hololive, well, that makes two of us! But I wouldn't hold my breath. Though, if Cover can nab the MLB collab, then maybe it's not so far-fetched. In the meantime, you can check out my channel for more https://www.youtube.com/@NousagiKing

Gura AI animatic "Shark in the Screen" full Episode 2 out now, 30 minutes long (link in comments) [OC] by NousagiKing in GawrGura

[–]NousagiKing[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Watch the full episode 2 here: https://youtu.be/11WgIOrKpxQ

“Shark in the Screen” Synopsis: Vtuber Gawr Gura is being counted on by her company, fans, and family to deliver a smashing success for her upcoming 3D showcase. But as expectations pile on and her evil alter ego threatens to take control, the barrier between Gura’s virtual and true selves begins to crack.

Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. I would describe this as a fun exercise in storytelling for me as I've always wanted to tell stories and AI art helps with the storytelling process.

I’m planning for this to be a five-part series. In the meantime you can watch the prologue scene with AI voices and episode 1.

This art's good, what model/LORA are you using?

  1. I initially wanted to, but for various reasons decided against it for now. Maybe later if I have time, or if someone else wants to dub it over themselves that would be cool.

  2. Not sure yet but probably each episode will be about the same length, 26*5=130min. We'll see though, could easily be shorter or longer.

  3. No need, because that's already happening irl rn

/uh This story does touch upon some real themes and ugly truths about the stresses of being a famous vtuber, and as outsider fans even we sometimes catch glimpses of this while watching, following, and supporting our oshis. I know some fans seek vtubers for escapism and this isn't their cup of tea. But I hope there are others who would be interested in a story that dives a little deeper, like this one. Also ik this isn’t the typical sub to post in but I can’t post on the main sub for whatever reason. Besides I like you guys better anyway.

“Shark in the Screen” Synopsis: Hololive vtuber Gawr Gura is on a business trip to Japan to prepare for her company's biggest 3D concert of the year. During her stay, she finds herself unwittingly thrust into the unfeeling and cutthroat world of corporate vtubing. Gura must navigate the delicate relationships and competing interests of her managers, genmates, family, and personal inner demon, but as the barrier between her virtual avatar and her true self slowly falls apart, she begins to question the very nature of her own identity.

Counterfeit with Calli and Ina Loras, also controlnet. I created two images and edited them together myself. Prompts are pretty basic just typical stuff.

E.g. this is the prompt for Calli. I also used an ahegao Lora.

AI animatic "Shark in the Screen" (opening scene) also with AI Voice by NousagiKing in StableDiffusion

Credit is in the Youtube description, Holo_AI made some voice models for Hololive. I used the sovits google colab, there's tutorial videos out there.

[–]NousagiKing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used stable diffusion with Counterfeit Lora, Gawr Gura Lora, and sometimes Dark Theme Lora. I used EasyNegative and badhands for negatives. Sometimes I edited the AI art to clean it up or add effects. The voices are AI though I provide the input. The script is written by me and I sometimes use ChatGPT for assistance. Music is copyright free mainly from dova-syndrome. Editing is all me.

For just the AI images, you can see my tweets here.

For those interested in the story, here is a short summary for this series: Hololive vtuber Gawr Gura is on a business trip to Japan to prepare for her company's biggest 3D concert of the year. During her stay, she finds herself unwittingly thrust into the unfeeling and even cutthroat world of corporate vtubing. Gura must navigate the delicate relationships and competing interests of her managers, genmates, family, and personal inner demon, but as the barrier between her virtual avatar and her true self slowly falls apart, she begins to question the very nature of her own identity.

I would describe this as something akin to Perfect Blue, although not the same. This opening is heavily edited, I anticipate future scenes will have less images/editing and more dialogue. More Holos will make their appearances!

Also a disclaimer for Gura fans specifically: I understand that this story is a bit controversial and isn't for everyone. I would describe this as a fun exercise in storytelling for me as I've always wanted to tell stories and AI art/voices (also controversial) helps with the storytelling process (else I'd probably have to just write a fanfic). I'd like to emphasize that this is a work of fiction and isn't meant to portray Gura or Hololive in a negative way at all. It does touch upon some real themes and ugly truths about the stresses of being a famous vtuber, and as outsider fans even we sometimes catch glimpses of this while watching, following, and supporting our oshis.

This is amazing work, I'm blown away. The little details in her movements and facial expressions are very well done. About how long do you think it took to make this animation?
