Ghosts Camping

October 2023

A simpler render I made after finishing ESCAPE. I settled on a simpler, semi-stylized look that I finished in a weekend.

YouTube short I made to celebrate October. I love the subtlety of the animation, the simple floating up and down. Sound and editing done in Davinci Resolve.

Initially, I threw some ideas at an AI prompt to see what it made of it. Some takeaways from it were: the semi-translucent look of the sheets; the different colors of the ghosts, and the usage of pine trees. Otherwise, I let my artistic choices carry the rest.

AI is useful, but only as useful as the leash you give it.
