Passages (1:31)

This experimental video was created by programming the open-source AI image generation tool Stable Diffusion using a Colab notebook compiled by a group called Deforum (https://github.com/deforum-art/deforum-stable-diffusion) to generate frames from a text-to-image prompt in a maximally cohesive and sequential order. To create a video, variables like speed, motion, frame rate, diffusion cadence, and strength schedule must be calculated and harmonized to achieve the desired effect. I've also trained my own Stable Diffusion model using my paintings that is capable of replicating my style with variable accuracy depending upon subject matter and prompting.
