Besides everyone’s love for music (that naturally draws humans together), they also take small steps to improve our environment back to health. We cast cultural dance organizations through the help of producer, Jessica Recinos and her performance company Rising Rhythm SF. First we shot all the narrative action, and dances on a green screen set at Dance Mission Theater; from Danza Azteca dance, Dia de Los Muertos candle walks, to samba drummers marching. The edit involved first animating an entire video using the green screen footage. Once there was a picture locked story, we took the frames of the video and used Stable Diffusion & Disco Diffusion on Google Notebook Colab to write Ai code to our footage. Our texted prompts were like writing a script of what we wanted to see come alive in our narrative. It was extremely powerful when dreaming up how scenes could evolve from fiery ashes to blooming flower fields. After many days of trial and error, we had dreamed up successful imaginations into our images and edited them back into the final video. We hope you love it.
