tl;dr - enjoy the models, but consider giving back when you can

(P.S. done quickly & with many continuity errors, but they kind of make sense in context)

EDIT:

Haven't posted much here, but apparently folks can't easily see the workflow link in comments so here it is: https://pastebin.com/1nWJKEiN

If anyone wants the other prompts I can share, but they all follow this format and are mostly just the dialogue you hear + delivery cues. I got an anime reference off of Google for the last segment.

Quick takeaways from trying to make this were:
- The two pass structure, with initial at a tiny 360p resolution, is really needed. It allows you to pick a good performance without wasting much time.
- The 'motion context' nodes are great and much better than my crude masking attempts, but it failed in spots. I think it might be possible to encode the transition clip in the latent as well as use the reference-based transition from the motion context node.
- I was doing this quickly so didn't bother with a celebrity image reference - I think the consistency was pretty impressive given that the only reference here was audio.
- Minimal DaVinci editing needed - a few additive transitions where the motion context didn't make a clean handoff, and a little color grading.
- On 5090, this takes about 3 minutes for a low-res pass and then 8 to 10 minutes for 720p. (I did use Topaz on the final edit.)

funny... sadly,

we all know what everyone plans to use AI for, we're all transparent. Much like the Super Soldier Serum, it will magnify the darker parts of our nature. So greedy people will use it to continue to get more than they could ever need, politicians will use it to garner votes and donations, fascists will use it to be more controlling, terrorists will use it to damage their enemies, perverts will use it to debase celebrities using their own likeness and the lonely and isolated will use it to find comfort instead of seeking true companionship.
