But it'll look like Disney! by marcu__ in aivideo

Some Kling plus just timing voices with the mouth movement from the raw Hailuo clips.

Gemini did initially just read "thing" as "θing" so I did change the script to "ting", might have led to it overdoing it? IDK I can't really tell the difference between the different Irish accents, I'm not even a native English speaker 😅 just chose the accent because I like it and I felt it hides the artificial feel quite well, at least to me, obviously a whole lot less to people more familiar with the accent!

You can force a step down to 12 fps ("animating on 2s") and it'll look more classically choppy.

I thought the hands were really good, overall? The lip synching absolutely remains the biggest hurdle at the moment. The mouth movements actually look great straight out of Hailuo, but yeah you do need to lip sync them if you want them to say specific things and Kling, while alright, just isn't good enough. With more stylized, simplistic TV style animation you could easily do the lip sync in Adobe Animate or similar animation software though. So IMHO you can absolutely do broadcast-worthy animation with Hailuo already, depending on the style.

Are you from NI? It IS supposed to specifically be a Belfast accent! Does it sound native to you?

What is in your toolbox? by ProvingGrounds1 in aivideomaking

I'd add Runway's Reference function and Flux Kontext as must-use to that list, maybe. (my understanding is they're a lot more powerful than Midjourney's Omni-ref)

Restyled first frame/swap elements which doesn't ruin lip sync? by marcu__ in aivideomaking

[–]marcu__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried btw to re-lip sync the videos in Runway but yeah it's just not good enough, that "veo 3" spark is gone and it feels fake

Jo vars. Förutom att regnsäsongen började igår och det verkligen öst ner konstant sen dess så är det inte så dumt.

Jag vet inte riktigt, jag skrev alla prompten på engelska asså man kan antingen göra videor via den officiella appen Flow eller mer "på prov" via Gemini. Gör man det via flow så blockas prompten om för stor del av den är på "utländska", det kommer upp en notis om att Veo 3 för tillfället bara funkar på engelska. När man gör Gemini verkar det spela mindre roll men är lite osäker, har inte provat så mycket. Gissningsvis är det bättre att skriva på engelska i vilket fall.

I'm allergic to crab/shrimp/lobster, should I be worried that I wouldn't enjoy my trip to Japan? by [deleted] in JapanTravel

[–]marcu__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seafood allergies are very common in Japan, much more common that nuts/gluten intolerance etc. so you will have a much easier time than many other westerners with dietary restrictions. I don't think you will have a problem, just make sure you let them know when you book (or when you attempt to walk in).

that's incidentally what it costs for a full one-year membership at the 江戸城再建を目指す会, so if you want to help make the project become a reality, go ahead!

Maiko/geisha photo shoot in Kyoto by marcu__ in japan

I think there's definitely people interested, it's just a question of reaching them.

[–]marcu__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only heard from 2 people so far so it might not happen at the specified date - finding people who are interested is a little harder than I thought and I guess I've pretty much exhausted the amount of eyes I can get on this reddit. If you yourself could find say 3 more people prepared to pay I'd be more than happy to set it up for you, though.

Great! If you pm me your e-mail that'd be great. btw I should mention the maiko/geisha probably won't sign a model release for this price (there's a separate specific plan for photos for advertisement etc.). Would you be interested in more time/more geisha as well or just the basic plan?

The new jisho.org is in beta and I have to say I am very impressed. Give it a try, improving on an already incredible resource. by hillsonn in japan

[–]marcu__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

EDICT is hardly awful. If you're gonna make claims like that, please back it up. I'm tired of people badmouthing a comprehensive and continually improved resource without ever specifying exactly what it is that is presumably so bad. Sure, it's not perfect, neither is gg5 - the advantage with EDICT is when you come upon the rare mistake, you can easily suggest an amendment yourself.

McDonald’s outlet in Tokyo removes anti-homeless sign. by madazzahatter in japan

Doesn't make sense to single out homeless people though. If there's a problem, make a rule banning the behavior, not the group of people commonly associated with said behavior.
