Now, ten years later, I've completed another diorama in this series (pictures will follow soon) and am planning another short film. Thanks to advances in AI, digital possibilities exist today that weren't available ten years ago. Therefore, I ventured a first small experiment with AI-based video creation.
The idea is this: Before the Roman space marines can enter the oracle cave, they logically first have to reach the planet with their spaceship. That's why I wanted a short video sequence with their flying spaceship as an intro.
First, you need a planet; I chose this photo of Pluto:

And for that, you need a beautiful, magnificent sky; here we see the Cat's Paw Nebula:

The raw image of the spacecraft, from a 360° rotation series I took in 2016:
After removing the background and the legs, it looks like this:
And with a bit of digital magic on the rocket engines:
The overall image is:
So far, everything was conventional photography with some digital picture manipulation – no AI involved at all.
In the final step, I fed that image, along with the text "A spaceship flies over a rocky planet" into PromeAI's image-to-video editor.
The result, achieved without any major adjustments to settings, etc., looks like this:
I have to say, I find this quite impressive for such a relatively simple experiment.
