| 06 Money | 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd: The Dark Side Of The Moon |
This video was made for THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON 50TH ANNIVERSARY ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEO COMPETITION
#TDSOTM50 #tdsotm #pinkfloyd
Each video in this series presents a song from ’The Dark Side of the Moon,’ blending traditional and modern techniques. The approach combines 3D animation and compositing with AI-generated imagery. All visuals are ultimately processed with AI to resemble hand-drawn, 12 fps frame-by-frame animation, echoing the psychedelic styles characteristic of the 1960s and 70s. This in order to capture the album’s essence in a digital format, reflecting both the album’s legacy and contemporary technology.
“Money“ has a unique characteristic among the album’s tracks. To me, it is closest to a regular dry and edgy rock song, despite its 7/4 time signature. The lyrics use a sharp sarcastic tone too, at least more so than the more ethereal songs in TDSOTM. The look I chose for this track is cartoony and direct. The movie version of “The Wall“ has a scene that uses the lyrics of “Money“, as a poem young Pink had scribbled. I recreated this scene in cartoon, as a tribute to the movie. Later in this video, Pink uses these memories to write songs from “The Wall“, a reference in the other direction. He becomes a rich rock star, a revenge... only to find himself where he is at the beginning of “The Wall“ album, disillusioned.
I used two main techniques. Most of the stuff is completely AI generated: I generated a long list of prompts for text-to-image generative AI using the lyrics, AI’s interpretations of the lyrics (ChatGPT-4), and my own custom prompts as needed. These prompts were then turned into images using generative AI. I created a custom workflow for Stable Diffusion / Comfy UI to do this, which required coding custom nodes to parse the list of text prompts and combine them with user input to create the final prompts that were fed to the image generation AI, embracing the occasional weirdness that comes with it. The result was hundreds of still images that were based on the lyrics and also the overall arc of the album. These were then animated using AI, again with a custom image-to-video workflow in ComfyUI.
“The Wall“ sequences were done differently - I used LightWave 3D and After Effects to create the animations. I originally made them for a Finnish Pink Floyd tribute band “Pulse“, for the video screens of a 40-year anniversary concert of “The Wall“ they performed at Pyynikki outdoor arena in Tampere, Finland. I made my own interpretation of the animations in the film version of The Wall - one of the most transformative movies of my youth, along with “Brazil“ and “Koyaanisqatsi“ (Okay, Indy and Star Wars too, sure). Talk about a meta-level tribute - referencing the references... This footage was repurposed and processed with traditional techniques and AI to resemble hand-drawn animation.
I then manually selected and edited the resulting animations onto the final cut in Vegas Pro, which was once more processed through AI and compositing to finalize the hand-drawn shot-with-film frame-by-frame animation look.
PS: Using prompt terms like “rock producer“ seems to invoke The Rock (the actor) playing a producer - needed to discard quite a few images because of this and re-generate. He still has nice biceps though.
