Perhaps We Both Battle

Perhaps We Both Battle  3:32 This one took 3 days to complete. The cost has gone up to about $34. I needed a subscription to an AI image generator. OpenArt AI has a vast amount of animation and image generators. I created my first character with their character creator tool, so I was able to prompt the old man into different settings. I also acquired a year subsription to the AI writing app Eskritor. This story was prompted with Eskritor. I developed the initial idea from a recent personal experience with a neighborhood dog. I'm living in a small village in Thailand and a dog named Som, likes to take bites at my ankles as I walk to the store.

Music was generated and cut and pasted like the images. This is my first AI driven creation. Three days ago I had no user knowledge of AI image or sound creation. I also learned how to use both open source editors during the same time. I had a crash course in learning how to use these programs. I still have a lot more to learn. I plan to make and post a new video every week. I'l...
