Print Poster Hand

July 24, 2023

Going for something more oriented towards: poster design, abstract, consistent video. I originally stumbled upon this concept while exploring non-character poster designs, and unrealistic illustrative colorful looks. The core concept was upraised hands and disembodied eyes, with imagery accents of southern california nightlife.

Getting there...

Continuing to refine the prompt and adding more scenes to flesh out the concept. This version is much more close to the original concept, including Hollywood hills and night life interiors. Tightened up the color and imagery style to the original concept.

After generating Guide Frames

I went back to the drawing board and worked on my prompt, eventually creating many txt2img's and selecting which ones would feature as keyframes in the video. I went a little off the original prompt here as I was being really abstract and creative with the prompt in order to focus on the timeline and keyframe mechanics.

Tried Control Net again

This time, I tried a single hand with a more basic composition. Still didn't really work --you can barely make out the shape of the control net vaguely in the background as well as clearly on frame 1.

Control Net test

Double hand in source video, probably not a good idea. The color was strongly influenced by the underlying video. These controlnet tests [failures?] lead me to go for the pure guideframes from txt2img instead.
