Thanks, Chay. I think for this one i used CoPilot for the images. When i fed that line i was asking for too much to have it "think" that the kids would be different ages. Could've redesigned the prompt, but i like the wonkiness of Ai. Beside, i don't really find much creativity in making the videos.

You are really at the top of your game these days! Loved it!

Thanks, Bob. The song's creation started while purusing BiaB Styles. Yet, if you see the "in style" and "in song" designations in the stems list, you'll see i only kept the piano. Ya gotta love this program for giving us the ability to work like mad scientists.

With a big smile on his face.
That makes me smile, too.
And the icing is a solo by an instrument I never would have expected, but it really, really works.
Great idea!
Enjoyed my listens.
A lot smile [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]
Thanks, Brain. That clarinet is surely an odd choice as many here are suggesting, but i'm glad you say it works.

There are some wonderful scenes in this video as well - you know how I like to study what AI produces:
- The ever-changing patch and location
- The clarinet player - who’d have thunk?
- 10 kids all aged within an hour of each other as well as looking alike - man, that couple are ‘fertile’.
- I think ‘stealing wood’ - given how he was dressed - is code for ‘embezzling funds from the government lumber contract’

We should get you to participate in our song challenges more often! I think K-Dub Ya and I would both say this is mission accomplished. Well done!

Andrew
Thank you, Andrew. Yeah, those kids... Bet if we ask Ai "What is it called when humans have 10 babies in the same pregnancy?" it would answer: "An inhuman litter." HA! Dang governments. That line came when i wanted to find a crime that would rhyme with good. i was reading a book where someone stole 70,000$ worth of some exotic wood. Yep, i always like a challenge (as if life doesn't provide enough --:) )

Enjoy whatever happens!
