SEASON OF THE WITCH
Season of the Witch, was originally created in 2015 for the photo series, The Halloween Project. The castle image is Ha Ha Tonka located in Missouri. Model, Summer May and I went there to shoot a
"hit & run" (nude) set of images.
The witch was an afterthought/spontaneous set. We had just shot the images for "Underworld" and while Summer was still in makeup, we decided to shoot her in the doomsday cloak with birdcage included. I composited the two images together for Halloween of 2015 and never thought anymore about it until I fed it through Grok Ai as a video.
The following was created using a large amount of Grok created Ai videos using my original 4 image set of the picture above. For each video I would add prompt after prompt to form the story I wanted. I then compiled all the 6 second videos together to form one large video (1 min 19 sec). In total I believe there was close to 30/6 second videos.
The music is a mix of two song bytes from Pixabay.
*NOTE: The completed video, is a depiction of model, Summer May, as well as Ha Ha Tonka. Season of the Witch is my first Grok generated mini movie. While I detest Ai when it comes to creating an image, I am enthralled with what it does to my own copyrighted images when they are transferred into a video. Blows my mind.
