Inspiration
Harry Potter-inspired Musical set in Cebu
What it does
Filipino's are extremely underrepresented in media, especially in positive or hero roles. We aim to highlight this and the fact that a wage of $10 a day is considered above average.
How we built it
This was, I think, the first project I used Fal for, and it is largely built using this. We get a reference picture for each character, and a file full of text descriptions for scenes and characters, and generate a still. We'll iterate on prompts recursively until we arrive at outcomes we like. The resulting image is then often edited before we convert it to a video. Often, video clips are cropped or adjusted, and sometimes we use more extreme editing techniques. Sometimes we also use start and end frames when generating.
Challenges we ran into
Generating action scenes with numerous characters is hard. Especially with a complex setting.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This video is part of a complete musical, something that would have been impossible for me to animate and create solo before AI. This is our second-most-ambitious video after Sanctuary Super Heroes.
What we learned
This video broke a lot of new ground regarding action. I needed to use sprite techniques from video games to make certain scenes work.
What's next for Cebu Magic
Hopefully, season 2 if interest in the project picks up.
