Are you ready for this?
To my Subscribers.
Sometimes, I think I’m all over the place. But I’ve discovered something along the way, and I think that's myself. I was playing with Ai last night, creating these two “toddlers” and discovering that I could only make ten second snatches. It felt like a lightbulb moment all the same. I’d been playing with a Baby Shakespeare, and I thought, who better for him to be sitting with than Kitt Marlowe?
And now I’m thinking…I can make a new “show”. I’m also thinking it might be called something like: BILLY & KITT…A KNIGHT IN KENNSINGTON GARDENS it’s what seems to be working .
Now, I’m thinking if I can make little 5 minute features, I might want to expand and make something longer in the future. The biggest challenge is NOT using Ai when it comes to generating the storyline. It doesn’t seem to be an issue at the moment, but I’ve never been very good at not bowing to temptation. Right now, I put in a prompt and get four responses. Each one is different in some way — but at least the characters are the same. I’ve sort of figured that part out. But like I said, I can only make 10 second scenes, so I need six scenes to make a minute.
I can also see this is going to cost me. I have to buy time on the site I use for this. I burned through that last purchase, (I think it was $20), but that was me cheaping out. I should have bought $100 worth of time. That would probably last me a month.
I’m going to put the first few “Toddlers” up for FREE. I want you all to have a chance to see them, because when I was a kid back in the 60’s, just starting to get into Spiderman and Marvel, dreaming of one day being an animator for Disney…and now, sixty years later, I have this at my fingertips? With a limitless imagination?
And my God I just pictured Baby Hercules!
It looks like Bullfinch’s is going to be sitting on the edge of my desk for a bit…
Hang out with me for a while.
I have a feeling I might be getting better at this as we move along. I mean, I can’t wait to present my new show…Baby Bullfinches! Short little tales out of mythology. I’ve already got a collection of men in togas. And my little Marcus Aurelius. I don’t want to get all cluttered with stuff and send you emails everyday, but it might work out like that eventually. But there will be a selection of things: Writing for one thing. I have a play, and books, and novellas to write. I have a plan to entertain my nephew’s boy. He’s 11. He’s also 5’ 8” and probably 160, if not more. I have to keep him from getting bored. As a result, I’ve used ChatGPT to come up with ideas in and around the city. Thirty ideas should be more than enough to entertain us. He can go out for the day, but has to be home for baseball and football practices, which I guess is where I’ll be, probably filming something.
