In this series, I present the prompts that were used to create my music videos, which I exhibit internationally in various film festivals.

As I note in Some Brief Observations on AI Filmmaking, perhaps the most important prompts are the ones not used, because their failure to produce compelling moving imagery is essential for honing in on the ones that end up being the most usable.

Synopsis

Beach towels get blown out into the ocean by the wind, where they submerge into the depths and merge with the fish who eat or get tangled up in them. Eventually, of course, due to the circularity of environmental systems, humans sailing above eat the contaminated fish, who are increasingly becoming mutated by their beach towel diet.
