Most of my AI video confections are me half being led around by what the technology can conjure on its own. I have ideas of my own, but the results pull me this way and that. If I try to impose my will I usually end up in a losing battle with the technology, a technology that can be mercurial, imperious, and blindingly idiotic. But sometimes I start out, develop an idea of my own, and am actually able (not without struggle) to make it into something bigger than I thought possible.
So it is with this 50 second music video interpretation of the great Caravaggio's painting of David and Goliath coming to life. The mere trick of the painting coming to life is the initial small thing, more messily done than I would have liked, but being able to develop it into its own study of the aftermath David's beheading was a surprising accomplishment for me.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
