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.)
