I had a go at creating an animated AI-generated monster through the use of Disco Diffusion and EBSyth. The idea is to take a video of someone who isn’t moving too much as a base for the monster. Then take a single frame from the video and use CLIP model Read more…
Recently I came across EbSynth, a program used to convert video footage into a motion painting by painting a single keyframe.

Similar to my last *nix style project I wanted to write something in Python that could interact with Reddit and can be ran from a Raspberry Pi. At this stage I only wanted to see what was possible and start early, so I borrowed some code to make a bot Read more…
I recently wanted to a CSV of questions and answers in to a Twitter account that tweeted questions followed by the correct answers every hour like so: My CSV looks like this when opened in excel. There are 5 columns in each row, the first of which is the question, Read more…
