This video contains episode 5 of my mystery tale Chemical Interaction. Previous episodes can be found here:

In this episode, I decided to bring back the narrative voice-overs. I’m using MS Clipchamp, which has a few options to improve the dialog so that it doesn’t sound too robotic. The results are alright, but I can’t wait for them to improve this voice function. Human speech is so nuanced and varied that it’s not easy to replicate. I suppose this is the reason why you pay voice actors to do the job. I’m just thankful the technology has gotten this far and from the looks of it, it will only continue to improve.

The following is the script for the dialogue as narrated by the voice overs.

Maria: I cannot get into the details but the vial contains a precious substance. It mustn't fall into the wrong hands, let alone Veronica's. You must do everything to prevent it.

Detective: Oh really? And how do I know that it's not you the one who's lying? The way I understand it, the substance is an ingredient for a vaccine.

Maria: Do you really think they would go to all this trouble for a vaccine? I suppose in a manner of speaking it is a medicine, but I assure you it is much more than that. The substance in the vial is powerful, powerful enough to sway the course of history.

Detective: What I want to know is: who are you people? Is this some elaborate con?

...Of all the urban joints in all the towns in all the world... you walk into mine...

Maria: ...and one more thing... I think you should know

It's about Veronica...

She's not of this world detective. Not even this dimension.

The soundtrack for this episode is an AI generated song called Shadows of Desire. I hope you enjoyed the show, and thank you for checking it out.

The ocean is usually pacific but this time the Pacific ocean was not in a good mood. The little ferry, which regularly cruises along looking quaint and pretty was now hauling ass across the widening mouth of the bay, where boats are exposed to the open ocean and not sheltered by the continental landmass. The wind was blowing hard, so the vessel had little choice but to attack the currents head on. When you're on it, you can feel each motion of the waves, so that must've been a ride to remember for the passengers.

The birds were going crazy that day with the gusts of winds sending them into a flying frenzy. I'm fascinated by this behavior because it appears to be mere play. That is, there is no clear survival value but sheer pleasure. Perhaps testing the wind currents allows them to fine-tune their flying skills.

This is part four of the episodic video narrative Chemical Interaction. If you would like to view the previous episodes, follow these links:

In this video, I didn’t use a voice narration like in the previous ones. I liked the way the music synced with the images, so I decided to rely on captions instead to advance the story.

I created the song with Udio and it’s called Shadowed Whispers. I put together the audio and AI-generated images in MS Clipchamp video editing tool. I used more effects this time around to give the piece more texture and intensity. Film Noir is known for its experimental use of camera trickery, and now those boundaries can be pushed with a wide range of digital effects.

I recently found a rock on the beach and after placing a magnet beside it, I discovered that the rock was attracted to it. This opened up the tantalizing possibility that the rock came from outer space or at least the bowels of hell. Thus began an epic geophysical journey that taught me more than I ever wanted to know about rock formation. If you would like to read the mad report, please visit this post.

While I was learning a lot of facts about rock formation, I realized just how dry it sounded. So to spice things up, I generated several AI images illustrating “magnetic” rock formation in different scenarios, as per my research. I created more images than I needed, and the extra ones were interesting, so I decided to write a song and make it come alive with the magic of AI. I wrote the lyrics and prompted Udio AI music generator to create an ambient electronic song that sounded ethereal with beautiful electronic beat, and spacey haunting female voice.

The software generated a couple of songs, and one of them was alright, but the lyrics were slightly off with too much magnetic love. So, I edited the lyrics and generated a couple of more songs then chose the one you may have heard in the video. Some parts of the song sounded great and others not so much, but I was generally happy with the result. I could have fine-tuned it some more, especially with the lyrics, but I decided to just roll with the beat.

I put images and audio in MS Clipchamp, mixing it up a bit with transitions, timings, and effects. Below, I’ve copied the lyrics as they were entered the second time into the AI music generator. I tried to add the broad scientific findings of my research without getting bogged down in details. I hope you enjoyed it!

On barren fields of rock

Ooohhh

Coldest space afar

Ooohhh

Across the firmament

Ooohhh
