The pictures are alive 2

 

It was one month ago, when everything changed here in the blog and stills taken from videos generated with artificial intelligence reached the blog.

Video Generator: https://hailuoai.com/video

While the last seven days two main aspects changed on the platform of Video Generator Hailuo AI

First the platform does not longer offer unlimited free access to the video generator. That is sad, but it was expectable. So I'm thankfull, that this incredible tool was accessable for free about a month long. At this moment, I haven't decided how to go on. We will see.

Second Hailuo started the image to video generation. Such a tool is offered on many ai video generating websites, but all those tools I have seen and tested only produced bullshit. Sorry to say that, but it's true. 

But now with the new Hailuo tool we enter the magic space and it feels like being part of the Harry Potter universe, when you see long known photographic pictures moving suddenly. Incredible again. 

Thank you Hailuo for your incredible tools to generate videos by text and to generate videos by pictures (and text in combination too, if you want). Yes, they are not perfect, but the results are better than everything I have seen before.

In the second episode I will animate more photos from the right sidebar of the blog. First station is the iconic picture of Venezuelan actress Hilda Carrero, displayed above. You may have also seen, that I used a smaller version of the picture to create the background pattern of the blog. 

I generated two videos of Hilda and I think, both kept the spirit of the original photo.

From Venezuela to West Germany. Gitti and Erika were a large number in the later 1970s German popular music. Gitti (left, born 1958) and Erika (right, born 1956) appeared with beautiful denim on denim outfits on this autograph card, ca 1977:

I used the card to create two video animations. I like the results, they keep close to the originals, it only seems to me that the women became a little bit younger in the videos.

Video 2: 

From West Germany to Eastern Germany. Monika Hauff as one part of the duo Hauff and Henkler wore a denim vest on one of the vinyl single covers from the 1970s. 

I animated both, the only-Monika-frame and the whole vinyl cover. 

From Eastern Germany to Spain. Spanish singer Isabel Pantoja appeared as a cowgirl on the following pictures: 

I animated both photos, the first with Isabel alone works better than the horse picture in my opinion:

Next step after Spain is the pre-revolutional Iran of the middle 1970s, where denim on denim was also worn by Persian women. First visit at beautiful Beti: 

I animated the picture of her two times with different results again:

Second visit at Persian actress and singer Shohreh:

She changed a little bit the face look in the video animation, but the clip is clearer than the original:

There are two more photos taken from Shohreh as part of a group while filming an unpublished Iranian movie. I animated the parts of the photos, where Shohreh appeared in.

Last visit in Persia at Iranian actress Roxana:

I like the result of the picture animation, it has the spirit of the original photo:

From Persia to Scandinavia. Vivian is one of the many young woman, who appeared in Danish adult movies while the 1970s. For me she is a little angel, because she is very cute and she wore a denim vest at the beginning of one of her loops. The photo may have been a production still of the loop and was published in an adult magazine.

I like the animation of the picture. It's not perfect, but it keeps the spirit of the photo and the cuteness of Vivian in a positive way.

Last step goes from Scandinavia to Hungary. Magyar model Sütő Enikő appeared with denim vest and blue jeans on the arms of a male model. 

I like the result of the animation. This is really pretty:

More photo animations will follow soon...
