Production Technology: We started by generating the magical creatures in Adobe Firefly, then refining them through ongoing update of instructions to the AI software. Next, we used Photoshop for color adjustments and composition. We then created the animated video using Runway, followed by adding captivating visual effects in TouchDesigner. Finally, we adopted underwater sound effects, resulting in a complete AI-generated video art.
Design Challenge: This work blend traditional art and design techniques and concepts with digital and AI-generated elements to achieve imaginative creatures beyond what could be done previously by hand.
Research: Humans, part of the universe’s diverse creatures, must appreciate both microscopic and macroscopic worlds. We share resources and coexist peacefully with visible and invisible beings. Using AI’s assistance and creativity, Magical Creatures unveils fascinating, familiar entities, inspiring us to explore our environment and space.
