2023 is the year of learning artificially intelligent software programs. AI isn’t going to replace human artists (not yet anyway), it is yet another tool for the arsenal, especially for digital multimedia artists like myself. Throughout this year of AI revolution, it feels like every day there is a new software program that is coming out. How to keep up with them all. After the discovery phase, it’s learning all of the intricacies of each platform, with each being a little different and requiring different prompts. The prompts that work for Midjourney may not work for Stable Diffusion.

On the Bleace Art YouTube Channel I have been creating new videos using images I generated on Midjourney. I take those images and manipulate them in Photoshop before bringing them into After Effects. I delve further into the process in my Live Streams on Twitch (@BleaceArt) so be sure to check those out and tune in to ask questions!

In doing these new videos I decided to create some Halloween Animations with Orchestral Music composed using another AI software program called AIVA.

@bleaceart Happy October and Happy Monday all you ghosts and ghouls! My first animation with AI imagery and AI music! #Halloween2023 #ThisIsHalloween #AIart #TrippyVisual #MetaPartyVibes ♬ original sound - BleaceArt

I will be publishing several of these ambient Halloween animations with moving background psychedelic visuals throughout the month of October, check them out and let me know what you think in the comments.

In the age of AI, ghouls and goblins are just a click away. AI-driven image generation tools are at the forefront of digital artistry. To create bone-chilling visuals, you can use AI platforms like Midjourney, which can turn text prompts into anything you can imagine. From sinister landscapes to haunting portraits, AI can help you evoke the eerie atmosphere that Halloween demands.

The right soundtrack can make or break your Halloween animations.

With AI-driven music composition software, you can create original, spine-tingling soundscapes. Platforms like AIVA can generate haunting melodies and eerie effects. These AI systems can adapt to the mood you want to convey, ensuring that your animation is accompanied by the perfect spine-chilling soundtrack. 

So if I can encourage others to start learning AI now, that is my hope as it will only become more prevalent in everyday life, just as using the internet or sending an email. Embrace the future of Halloween creativity in 2023. With AI-generated images, chilling music, and interactive storytelling, you can bring your spooky animations to life in ways you never thought possible. This Halloween, let AI be your cauldron of inspiration and conjure up animations that will send shivers down the spines of your viewers. Whether you're a seasoned animator or just starting, AI is your companion in the art of eerie enchantment. So, unleash your creativity and bring your Halloween visions to life like never before. 

Again, if you have any questions or don’t know where to start, come hang out in the Live Stream on Twitch (@BleaceArt) and I will be happy to walk you through the process.

Let’s Go Further Together! One Step at a Time!
