"Alone" by Edgar Allan Poe, created & narrated by DVNT 🎧☠️🖤 #stablediffusion

This is a short film I created, with the help of AI (Stable Diffusion, along with a whole lot of other editing software).

This seems to be a hotbed topic lately and my answer to the question "Will AI replace artists" is... does it matter? It's here, it's not going anywhere... so evolve & adapt or die.

I can tell you creating animations or films in AI isn't any easier right now than learning Blender or Unreal Engine. Meaning it's pretty insanely difficult. This piece took me about a month to make. It's just another tool & how artists choose to use that tool is entirely up to them.

"Alone" by Edgar Allan Poe, narrated & animated by me. ☠️

From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn
Of a most stormy life—was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still—
From the torrent, or the fountain—
From the red cliff of the mountain—
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold—
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by—
From the thunder, and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
