Inspiration

One of my favorite songs I wrote living with roommates on 114th and First Avenue in 1987 and I had a really crappy 4-track cassette recording of it and did a cover of it in Suno and totally brought that time back to life for me. I wanted the video to reflect what if felt like as a struggling artist/actor/musician in NYC in the late 80s.

What it does

Serves as a time machine back to then.

How we built it

Base: Original recording of song. AI Cover: Suno. Images/Animation: Midjourney

Challenges we ran into

Generating images that weren't Janky and still accurately told the story.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It captures what it felt like for me back then. Scary. Inspiring. Surreal. Distant, yet like it was yesterday.

What we learned

We live in remarkable times.

What's next for To Kill You for a Dollar
