Synopsis
"In the frigid expanse of a post-apocalyptic world, a lone and enigmatic cloaked figure traverses the desolate ice landscape, haunted by the echoes of a once-thriving civilization. The air is thick with a palpable sense of ancient mystery as the figure moves through the ruins of towering temples, their significance lost to the unforgiving passage of time.
As the cloaked wanderer delves deeper into the frozen remnants of a forgotten era, fragments of memories emerge, etched in the icy walls of the decaying structures.
Whispers of a prosperous past and the poignant echoes of human connection resonate through the silent corridors, hinting at a tragedy that befell this now-forsaken civilization. The figure's journey becomes a symbolic exploration of the enduring human spirit amidst the harshness of time and nature. Cinematic shots capture the cloaked silhouette against the stark backdrop, weaving a visual tapestry that tells the story of resilience, loss, and the relentless passage of time. Unveiling the cloak reveals a face etched with the weight of ancient sorrow and survival.
The character's emotional journey becomes a universal odyssey, resonating with audiences as they witness the silent quest for understanding and closure in a world swallowed by ice. As the cloaked figure reaches the heart of the frozen ruins, a profound discovery awaits—one that holds the key to the civilization's demise and the possibility of redemption. "Glacial Zealot" unfolds as a visually stunning and emotionally evocative exploration of the human condition, wrapped in the chilling beauty of Billy Boman's signature cinematic style"
Overview
An AI project under the Techno pseudonym "Sanguis Machina" is the AI-generated track "The Glacial Zealot" with its corresponding AI Music Video (Text to Image To Video + Upscaling & After Effects) The driving dark techno track (via Soundful AI ) together with the visuals created a dystopian snow covered & post-apocalyptic world inhabited by a mysterious and cloaked android figure I wanted a very cinematic art direction, utilizing my own "Cinematic Prompting" techniques to achieve the visual output.
The visual AI Pipeline was Midjourney for image generation followed by Runway for making videos out of those images
As always I used my trusted Topaz Labs Video AI for a crisp upscaling to 4K & 60 FPS for that high-quality finish.
