AI tool from Runway called infinite image from Chris Keegan on Vimeo.

Playing around with more AI tools. This one from Runway called 'infinite image' Took a long time yesterday afternoon to create this from an existing Cover illustration I created of a tree floating on some clouds. I then used the ai to expand the landscape into space! Which i then animated the zoom effect in Blender. Would make a great music video. Music by: Acronym called Endless Horizon

Ebsynth AI Style transfer animations from a single Photoshop image. from Chris Keegan on Vimeo.

I have been working on creating AI animation using frames taken from videos I make of flowers. The original Keyframe I create in Photoshop, using a digital paintbrush effect. Then experimenting with EbSynth style transfer to convert them into digitally illustrated animations. The original keyframe I illustrate acts as a reference for the rest of the animation's frames. As you can see it's tricky to get them to work for long periods of time. Sometimes after about 50 frames, the AI quality seems to drop off quite quickly. Creating an animation from a single illustrated image is so useful.

Maybe watercolour painting style transfer next.

What do you think?

Aurora Borealis by Chris Keegan in Blender from Chris Keegan on Vimeo.

I've been learning volumetric animation in Blender EEVEE, so what better natural phenomena to use than the Aurora Borealis? I began by generating short renders of the Auroras' ethereal magnificence. Then edited them together, i think it work out better than i expected. It is accompanied by a track from the wonderful and talented SIEGE. I hope you enjoy it.

If you have any questions regarding how I created it, please do not hesitate to ask. Music by SSIEGE Track called: Delete Instagram chriskeegan.co.uk

Spray paint style procedurally generated animation. from Chris Keegan on Vimeo.

Compilation of some procedurally generated animation loops. With these I am trying to create a subtle air brush or spray paint effect.The equivalent of masking off areas with tape and then spraying paint over to create series of gradient effects.

Cosmic nebula space animation - Nana by Malibu (Julianna Barwick Remix) from Chris Keegan on Vimeo.

Each of these shots took many hours to render individually. All are rendered in 12 fps and low sample rate to make it possible to produce a few short minutes of footage. It was a steep learning curve to figure out how to create an number of colourful nebula cloud formations that grow, morph and animate in different ways. The music is a remix by the amazing Julianna Barwick. Go check out her music!

Stylised Nebula in Blender Eevee made easy! from Chris Keegan on Vimeo.

This stylised galaxy was created from the amazing Blender tutorial by CBaileyFilm. (Link below) I added a few of my own stars and a few fancy video edits. It was a very easy and straight forward tutorial to do, for an intermediate like me. And super quick to render in 2k Eevee. Maybe the next step is to add planets and a spaceship.

Pact infernal - Circle VI (Heresy) (Animation By Chris Keegan) from Chris Keegan on Vimeo.

Created during the last few weeks of 2020 lockdown from November and into December I had enough spare time to create a short animation to some wondrously dark and atmospheric music by Pact Infernal. The brief I set myself was to animate as much of the different elements of the music into direct visual effects. So that the Snares and kick sounds would themselves be creating the haunting magical lights and sparks across the forest.

At some point I would love to take this sort of animation into virtual reality. Being surrounded by this type of sound and image would be fascinating to create and then experience.

Let me know what you think?
