Tried It Your Way

Some MAGA propaganda from yours truly. Asking a simple question: We tried it your way. How did it go? The song, unlike the occasionally absurd visual presentation, isn't locked into this unique political moment but was inspired by it. Initiated by a meme I wanted to create, but didn't. The song was written before the attempt on Trump's life and the final attempt to prove Biden's resilience with a "Big boy" press conference, so lyrical coincidences occur near the start. Visuals are largely purposeful, but AI creates a lot of happy accidents, like the merging of my features with those of well known politicians, and presenting a look at alternate versions of myself as "fat cat" politician, and even what a (more) elderly version of me might look like. The music and recording recorded after cited events, and only completed to my current satisfaction the other day. I start work on visuals before songs are finished but near the final stretch. Used a crap load of AI tools in the video, utilizing models trained on images of myself (Flux/Replicate and Artflow) which also allowed for use of some popular politicians (a no-no from Runway, Hedra and some others, so therefore used less in this case). Attempts to get me in the same image as some of these folks would often result in some sort of combo that I found hilarious. Some versions of me as Kamala doesn't get used here. Kling used heavily (animating, lip sync). Also Kaiber, Pika (inflate FX of finger pic), Luma, Krea (also heavily), Kits.ai to help with background vocals, Black Forest labs for a lot of the imagery. Matt Wolfe has a video on YT on training Flux on your images using a Lora from LucaTaco and Replicate. There are other options for that, like Runway and Artflow, the latter which uses Flux and allows images of celebs and such. the former, not so much.
I should also mention this is my music. Available on Spotify and other platforms soon, if not now.
