TLDR: This is my affiliate link for the app I used to create this animation: https://app.leonardo.ai?via=erika ================================================ In 2022, I started exploring "text-to-image" AI... and was astonished. As a writer, being able to use your words to create something visual is a whole new (and satisfying!) game. Here, I used LeonardoAI -- and my imagination and narration -- to make my first itty bitty movie. (I hope it uplifts and inspires.) This is a sample prompt I used to generate one of the images: "Generate an image of a woman looking down at a big sketchbook on her lap. The woman is in her 30's with rich melanin tones, almond-shaped eyes, full lips, and long tightly curled afro-like hair. Place her on a purple couch in an apartment filled with candles and plants." The description of the woman was a "seed" I consistently used, but as you'll see, it does not always create the same character. Also, human eyes can sometimes come out weird. These are things for me to learn, tweak and improve over time. So, I'm walking my talk... by nervously releasing something imperfect, because we all must start *somewhere*, right?

The question "How are you?" is PROFOUND. But it has been watered-down to a synonym for "Hello." Forced or fake auto-responses of obligated okay-ness are expected. (And if you are going through something tragic, it really doesn't matter! Every social encounter OPENS with this well-established Ritual of Insincerity.) The question "How are you?" prompts an answer that begins with "I AM _____________." This means many times each day, you are invited to SPEAK THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENT that can be spoken of yourself. And the socially-expected thing to do, is be QUICK + SLICK with your answer. For a change... TAKE YOUR TIME, and tell your truth. ✍🏾 |
