The Ultralight Beam Games — Teams
<p>1st. Writing— I write a story in Evernote. Then, I write the art brief for the visual. While the art brief is in connection to the story, the writings do differ. I paste the art brief into Midjourney — “ /imagine “— and then a journey begins.</p>
<p>2nd. Generating— The journey is generating visuals. This includes the initial full 4 panel visual generations, then up-rezing what I like, and then creating variations for what could be cool but isn't yet. Simultaneously while generating visuals, I proceed to alter/edit, cut, expand, and retract the art brief. I do this while keeping the original story as the focus (I don't want the initial visual generations to distract me from the story or the original ideas I had in mind before I began generating visuals). Throughout the entire process I am generating hundreds of visuals- at like 10–20 images per minute.</p>
<p>3rd. Editing— When the generated visuals begin to become applicable to the story, I make choices and then I start to edit and refine the chosen visuals by highlighting the areas I don’t agree with and then generating variations on those particular areas.</p>
<p>4th. Expanding — Once the image is feeling close to completion and without error, I then expand the size of the image by using the zoom-out features. And then I repeat the whole above steps all over again because errors present themselves in the zoom-outs.</p>
<p>5th. Final Thoughts—Know that while the process is actually simple, and it is very sneaky. There are a lot of image errors in the A.I. visual generations — mangled fingers and legs, eyes looking in odd directions, body parts connecting in all the wrong places, and on and on — to me this is fun. So keep in mind that once you get into it, it becomes this whole game, and then a new world begins to unravel. It all goes many ways. It is an immersive experience.</p>
