Jonah's Song - My Artificial Intellitence Video
My kids are often complaining about AI, and I understand. It's so hard to know what's real and what's not real nowadays, and AI is potentially putting so many people out of work.
But I've wanted to be able to create story videos like this for a long time now, and haven't been able to because 3D animation takes SO long. But no I spent about 8 or 10 hours collecting short video clips from Grok Imagine AI and splicing them together. I needed to be clear and descriptive with every prompt I used to ensure that weird artifacts weren't introduced, but it was fulfilling and even fun!
I hope you aren't offended by my use of AI for this video. I'm not certain I'll be doing a lot of this in the future, but it was so helpful as a tool to tell a story on a shoe-string budget (it only cost me my yearly X membership fee).
If you're curious about the imagery, you might notice that often Jonah is portrayed as a type of Christ. Jesus himself referred to his life in light of Jonah. Jonah also sacrificed himself for the men on the boat, drew non-Jews to God, and was in the whale for three days and three nights, referring to his time as "in the pit."
God bless you patrons, thank you for supporting my effort to share the Kingdom with everyone!
