Key Quotes

“AI Animation is finally getting to the point where I can create an ALMOST believable animation of people doing things.”

“I took a classic laughtrack sample and I doubled it up over itself to create waves of laughter.”

Process Summary

Full process documented by the artist:

  1. Generated thousands of Stable Diffusion stills mimicking 1980s/90s TV shows, specified “people having VERY wacky fun”
  2. Curated selection animated in Runway → 4-second clips
  3. Edited into a montage
  4. Computer HDMI → analog video converter → glitch box (light glitch) → recorded to VHS tape
  5. VHS tape dubbed to a second VHS tape (cultivating degraded home-recording quality)
  6. Classic laughtrack sample doubled over itself → “waves of laughter”
  7. Audio filters applied for broadcast television audio effect

Medium: Generative AI animation recorded to VHS video tape, 640×480 MP4 Platform: Featured in Fakewhale Gallery on Objkt.com
