I didn't thought that this video will be that successful and such a crowd pleaser. Maybe it's just me and I don't have enough distance to my own work again. However I can say that I'm very pleased with this video even if there are quite a lot compromises in the video to not violate the amv challenge.
Speaking about the challenge:
The AniNite AMV challenge is a quite unique concept. You register, get 3 categories to choose, you pick one tricky theme and you work on it. I took the classical challenge. I had to mix one classic song to anime. The catch was that there should be no humans at all in the video. This was quite hard for the storyline.
Storyline:
It's not hard to get it. Mankind is almost gone. There is nothing but a barren wasteland with ruins and a melancholic landscape. You only get one scene that tells you what could have happened. Anyway! Someone gets a strong idea and works it out. You see how it grows and gets stronger and how it finally gets worked out in a wonderful musical part. He build up an android to bring this wasteland back to life. Rebirth of mankind? No. Probably the rise of the post human androids.
Technical:
It's quite simple, but very effective mood sync. This builds up on heavy atmosphere and the sync is very fine, but yet precise at important points. It took me around 2 weeks to make this video and I'm glad how this turned out! The colours are not really black and white. They are very dark blue and white. Gives it a more unique charme compared to simple b&w. The grain is alright and gives the video extra depth. Though you won't notice it in the streaming video edition.
Have fun watching it!

Its not a classic film making of, but it shows you a nice comparission between the original trailer, the raw editing and the final product. This might be really interesting for all those who have noticed the colour manipulation in the original video.

Theme:
The everyday life is often gray, oppressive, and monotonous due to the given circumstances. Children and creative individuals escape into relaxing, joyful, life-affirming fantasy worlds in their thoughts. Its a getaway from reality, constraints, and conformity. Some discover themselves in the process, becoming less lonely and more empowered in real life.
Onirica is derived from the word oneiric, which relates to dreams or resembling a dream. It is often used to describe something dreamlike, fantastical, or related to dreams and imagination. In your provided text, the term Fantasiewelten could be translated as dream worlds or fantasy realms, which aligns with the concept of Onirica.
Making of notes:
AI technology came in fast in 2022 and for me personally it was clear, that my next main project needs to revolve around this exciting technology. However at it turns out things are developing fast and are getting tiresome. I remember a time, when Bard, ChatGPT-4 and Midijourney 5 were announced right at the same times. Keeping up with burned me out. You need a full time job on this and maybe even then you only specialize in one area. Also when a lot of the smaller tasks get done by AI, you are left with all the creative work. Constantly being creative and original burns you out, while at the same time you sometimes battle with errors and bad images, that AI gives you.
Thats why I felt it was time to try out my first collab between AMV editors, after a raw cut was finished. I joined up with my coworker Arcothy to battle this challenge together. This was probably the best choice for this input. Together there were enough creative power to pull this off. Also we added up pretty nicely. The cut got better, the scene selection more interesting and there were great ideas on how to implement AI into pictures. Refining effects, masks and scenes got more important as well. We worked together via Adobe Cloud Team Projects, which was not as smooth as we first thought, but after a bumpy start it was alright.
So whats left was to get AI work in anime and video. Of course there are possible DeForum animation videos, but they were not easily to control and will always have that certain look to them. Runway was at Gen-1 stage and the costs for AI video generation were simply too high and too gimmicky. Whats left were still image generation and implementing them in video. StableDiffussion with the use of different AI models and LORAs gave pleasing results. I felt we had more control over things in comparison to MidJourney or Firefly. Arcothy made it work via Ebsynth or Adobe Generative Fills and I often took the time to give it a well touch up in After Effects or Premiere Pro.
What I really enjoyed was applying abstract Color via ControlNet to scenes. Some scenes turned out really good. Others need lots of prework with masks, tracking or color layers. The use of various overlay techniques and stock videos helped integrating the images a lot! This and Adobe Generative Fill will highly return in my future projects.
The crazy thing about the technology is, that everything is so fast. A few months later things would look differently, because tech improved or new workflows came out. I hope that this video will not look too dated. Only time will tell. AMVs can be truly timeless works, but this will probably not be one of them.
Thanks a lot to Arcothy for truly immerse into the project and making it possible by giving his best!
