New AI Video: “Bare Assets”

by

And now, for something completely different.

One of my other kinks is bondage. Chief among that fetish is chair bondage, and my favorite position features a woman’s wrists bound to the armrests. The pose reads as presented, not just restrained. It leaves just enough geometry that the instinct to cover herself keeps firing. Each attempt is small and obviously doomed, but she makes it anyway, and every failure re-demonstrates the exposure. The scene is self-renewing — she keeps auditioning for a modesty she’s already lost. I find that intoxicating.

Unfortunately, while Seedance excels at rendering bondage, it still struggles with consistency, and I’ve yet to have it duplicate a setting I can reliably use for a villain’s lair. Therefore, the clip below is strictly a one-off.

Incidentally, this will be my only video for November.

Enjoy Bare Assets!

Fans Asking for More Foot Shots, I Hear Ya

by

I’ve received some feedback asking for more foot shots in my AI videos. As a fellow foot fetishist, I’m right there with you.

I stopped including foot shots after posting Realtor’s Final Listing in June because I have extremely specific, very stylized taste in how I want feet to move during a struggle, which includes toes pointing hard straight down in a desperate but futile attempt to reach the ground. Think of a ballet dancer, only she’s fighting for her life instead of doing a pirouette. Unfortunately, Seedance is even more unreliable about rendering action below the waist than what’s happening above the waist, resulting in more costly retakes. That’s why none of my ligature stranglings include foot shots.

For context, my primary interest in ligature stranglings is seeing protagonists attacked while standing and kept fully upright until dead because the sight of a naked woman dangling lifeless from a wire-thin ligature with her breasts in full view has always been a massive turn-on for me. Thanks to AI, ligatures can look as tight as I want them, complete with realistic skin compression and bulging neck veins. Seeing women lifted off the ground during the struggle is a huge bonus, but has never been a requirement. As such, my entire focus for my AI stranglings has been on hammering out a prompt template that gives me relatively consistent results above the waist, and I’ve pretty well accomplished that goal.

I also share your love for throatlifts, and for those scenarios, foot shots are absolutely mandatory for us. My jaw dropped seeing how well Seedance rendered my first one, Seven Feet of Death. Now, I need to work out a prompt template that I’ll be able to adapt for different stories. I don’t have a time table, and they aren’t the only type of content I want to explore, but I’m thrilled to know Seedance can render them as well as it does, so they’re definitely on the table.

Growing up with VHS/DVD has Paid Off – AI Videos are Back

by

ByteDance, the makers of Seedance – the current market leader of premium online video models – have introduced “draft mode” to Seedance 2.5. Draft mode renders at 480p, the same resolution as DVD, which overtook VHS in the early-to-mid-2000s. The idea behind it is that you spend 1/5 the price to render low-rez previews before committing several thousand credits to render the best take at 1080p. The final pass uses the same data from your chosen draft so you don’t have to re-roll blind.

All of my videos were rendered at 720p, and then upscaled to 1080p with my own editor. I have no intention of ever natively rendering at 1080p.

Twenty years of experience editing death scenes from DVDs taught me that 480p also upscales quite nicely to 1080p. That means I can save money on AI videos by rendering them at DVD quality, and then upscaling them myself.

With that in mind, enjoy my latest production, Weekend Alone!

AI Videos Discontinued

by

I can no longer justify the expense vs failure rate of premium online video models without risking growing credit card debt, and local open-source models are incapable of generating videos at my standard of quality.

Rest assured, my video library will remain online. I’m just not producing anymore unless and until prices drop sharply – ideally to a point that’s comparable with images – which, unfortunately, I don’t see ever happening.

I’ll continue producing static AI art – my DZine.ai membership includes unlimited image generations every month.

New AI Video: “No Leads”

The division captain of a police department is at home, talking to one of her subordinates on her cell phone. She’s frustrated with their inability catch the man who’s strangled nineteen women, and insists they keep digging for leads, unaware that the only lead that matters is standing in her blind spot.

Enjoy No Leads!

Slug Links Fixed

by

A slug in WordPress is the exact final part of the URL that identifies a specific page, post, category, or tag. I recently edited the slug for my Single-Page AI Comics gallery and unwittingly broke the links in my blog posts that point to new content I uploaded at the time. The links are now fixed.

Moving my Michael Myers content to its own page also broke the links for those blog entries, and they’re fixed now, too.

In summary, if you’ve tried accessing my content via my blog posts and encountered an error, that was why.
