Remnants of a Future Forgotten

A "Fable," a look at the world of a future we've forgotten

Comment

I've always thought that we've been sacrificing aesthetics for simple, palatable, and more economical forms, exchanging the rich beauty of language for vulgar simplifications, the emotional complexity of a melody for a basic, tribal rhythm. We are destroying our soul and nature for supposed progress and replacing profound art with hanging bananas.

But since it's easier to complain or lament than to do, I'm sharing in this new AI video that I've been developing for some time, it's a sample of how, with our own style, we bring more praise to beauty. Conceptually, I wanted to create a "Fable," the world of a future we've forgotten... or one that coexists in another dimension, where gods and mortals live in harmony and beauty. This video is the result of many experiments that I've been showing in previous videos.

In this music video, for a song written by myself and composed with the help of "Suno AI," we will see kind and beautiful people, costumes and props from a future influenced by the classics, impossible ships, domesticated cyborg wild animals, and fascinating cities where the modern blends with friendly lines and colors (an alternative to common but popular architecture).

To achieve this aesthetic style, particular and in development, I trained the AI with reference styles as disparate as Botticelli and Space Odyssey, passing through Virgil Abloh, the prematurely deceased genius creative director of LouisVuitton (reference styles or sref). For textures, I applied Jacquard, Roubaix, or Florentine looms and motifs from the best Renaissance schools, etc. For anatomy and character references (cref), I did the same, the great masters of the Renaissance and their human forms mixed with the great fashion photographers, so distant from abstraction or intellectual brutalism, who set the standard for this dream of aesthetic and spiritual rebirth.

Each scene strives to be beautiful, like paintings by an ancient spirit but aware that humans today are more liberated, equal, global, and technological. The interwoven scenes give that feeling of a new world, classic and modern at the same time, that future that we have forgotten, but today, we can revive it.

Thanks to the breadth of parameters that all these tools provide us to create AI images and videos, today we can all, without exception, sit down, imagine a scene in a prompt and see it appear before our eyes... it's like a Djinni of digital art.

My intention with this video is to take us a little out of the realism or the prevalent anime on AI image and video platforms and create aesthetic styles that can be considered artistic, incidentally almost impossible to achieve (or at a high cost) for VFX or 3D. Giving freedom and sharing my vision with Midjourney has yielded truly beautiful results. Minimax of @Hailuo was in charge of animating each frame with me and making it more fluid and fun.

I hope you enjoy my new music video clip as much as I have during its creation and I hope we all begin to see AI as a fantastic tool for creation #Inspiration
