Watch my first garden grow from bare soil in this first video!

I hope to produce at some point in time a video that shows all my garden drawings (about 80 at the moment), one evolving into the next day after day.

A technical side note

I thought it would be easy to produce a video by injecting still images into an application and generating a smooth sequence going from one image to next and so on. It turns out to be very difficult to do. The technique is usually called Frame Interpolation, or for our purpose, Frame Interpolation for Large Motion, also elegantly shortened as FILM (See credits for the video shown here).

ChatGPT 4 does not produce videos, nor do Stable Diffusion or Bard it seems. More commercial software such as Runway may be the way to go. More to follow.
