A Bit Different

I know I talk about AI stuff quite a bit at the moment but it’s truly fascinating to see everything that is going on. I’ve always loved playing with new tech so no changes there but even having messed about with a load of new AI stuff I still see things every day which blow my mind. Like this… this isn’t a video game running in the norma way (a game engine creating the output based on the code/inputs). This is an AI that learned how to play Doom and then is generating each frame based on the user inputs. That’s images, from scratch, to match the needs of the game, roughly 30 times a second! Amazing.

The Next Batch

Another set of creations from over on my alt IG @trairatcliff

Photo Bending

This is a fun idea… These scenes began with still photos that I took while in Scotland and then I ran them through a video AI (Luma Dream Machine) and then each photo became a little video. Kind of a weird combo, but I like the way it turned out!

The Fearless Desert

A (very) short film with music by Hans Zimmer…

I’ve been making a ton of AI stuff and sharing it over on my alter-insta @TraiRatcliff

Holy – A Dedication to Amazing Isabella!

I’m so proud of my daughter Isabella who is heading to university this week to study art and a myriad of other things… All of my kids are beautiful polymaths, and I am so thankful. I’m so amazed by Izzy and everything she has accomplished, and what a strong and beautiful heart she has. She’s off on an adventure, and I wanted to dedicate this creation to her. I love you so much, Isabella. I always have your back… and I’m always here for you. Love, Dad.

A new Photography Based Interview…

I sat down for a fun chat with Jakub Bors a couple of weeks ago to discuss photography, creativity, my new presets (available here) and more. It’s available to view now…

Those new Presets…

If you’re visiting the site after watching my interview with the awesome Jakub here’s a nice quick and easy link to the new preset pack! And here’s an image created with one of them… have fun. 🙂

Alien Tinder – Sample Lookbook #1

I’ve been making a ton of AI stuff and sharing it over on my alter-insta @TraiRatcliff

I ended up with a bunch of wild alien shots that I really liked so I decided to animate them into this fun little idea. I actually have ton of them… I might make more. I’ve got a ton of other ideas too… just waiting on Sora. Hurry it up OpenAI!

Some AI for the Weekend

Here’s a few of my latest creations (mostly Midjourney) I post more over at @TraiRatcliff – my alt AI account. I hope you enjoy!

Exploring Hong Kong

Daily Photo – Exploring Hong Kong

This was a tough spot to find! This is a really cool night market in Hong Kong that I visited. I wanted to get a higher perspective so I looked around at all the neighboring buildings. This one wasn’t exactly easy to get into. Photography involves a lot more Breaking & Entering than I expected… anyway this one was made with one of my new presets!
