Hey folks,
I hope you're all having a lovely week. Your weekly story is coming later this week, but in the meantime I wanted share some behind the scenes info behind the Archive's most recent video - Thus Came the Eenth. Galleries containing the images used to make this video can be found below, and if you haven't seen the video itself, check it out on youtube here:
This video represents the Archive's first real foray into longer-form video content. It will be followed by the first episode of Through the Stridegate next week. The process for making this video was relatively simple. I created the images using midjourney, animated all of the B-roll footage using Midjourney's new animation feature, then used Runway Act One to apply my spoken performance to the the image I generated of the Global President. I used Eleven Labs to change my voice into the president's that you hear in the video. The sound effects and music were all licensed through Epidemic Sound, and everything was edited together in Premiere. Overall, this video was a ton of fun to make, and I hope you all enjoy it - if you have any questions about how it was made or any comments/feedback, please drop them in the comments. I'm excited to hear what you folks think!
Cheers,
The Head Curator
















That was incredible! Roughly how long did it take you to produce start to finish?
