# Hello everyone! 😎

I have been attending the carnival in my hometown for several years now, mainly for the colorful masks and the fun that unfolds there.

I usually take a series of photos first, and this year I already posted them a few days ago.

Then I edit the short videos into a single one to capture the event's atmosphere. Let's say, Carnival Madness, is one such example.

Well, this year I took a step forward. But I still wonder if this is a step backward? I have to admit, I'm not entirely sure yet 🤔

So, I decided to try using AI tools to animate a few selected images and then put together a slightly longer piece, again with the main goal of capturing the carnival's atmosphere.

Anyway, I've been following AI tools, especially for audio and image generation, for some time now. In fact, I'm learning to use them. Sometimes I'm fascinated by the results, but not always. I've been involved in video production for as long as I can remember, but I haven't worked with AI video tools. I tried a few things in NightCafe years ago, but I think those were just hallucinations, as they are popularly called when we get strange results that make no sense.

To avoid being too long-winded, I'm planning a longer treatise on all this for my next project. For now, just a brief explanation:

The photos were taken on a Pixel 7, animated in Grok Imagine 4.1 (well, as I write this, version 4.2 is already out), the background sound was created in Suno, and everything was edited in Adobe Premiere.

I didn't use any text prompts to generate the video. I could have corrected various artifacts, which would probably have been better, but I gave the AI complete freedom to recognize objects in the image and add some movement to them.

I must admit that I had a lot of fun doing all this, and I also learned something, which is the only thing that matters.

Thank you for your attention!

Since 2001, Radio Student's Club Marathon has been searching for, highlighting, and supporting the most promising new Slovenian musical forces - the first serious springboard for the alternative scene.

With selected bands, it visits numerous autonomous and youth club venues throughout Slovenia.

Januery is a band from Maribor and Ljubljana that creates music saturated with emotion and the unprecedented sound of Slovenian electronic neo-soul.

The wide range of expressive motifs in the verses is matched by sound dynamics, rhythm, groove, and variation, creating a comprehensive sound environment.

The video is part of a performance at the MKNŽ rock club in Ilirska Bistrica, Slovenia, on 18.10.2025.

Malorshiga is a band from Slovenian Istria that has been active since 2017. They released one album, Kvlt ov Vitis et Olea, in 2019. The title is in the old Istrian dialect and translates to 'Cult of the Vine and Olive Tree.'

They play black metal with a strong emphasis on Istrian folklore, tradition, and local identity. Fast passages, atmospheric sounds, and powerful guitar melodies.

In their performances, they place great emphasis on theatricality, ambiance, and visual imagery.

The video is part of a performance at the MKNŽ rock club in Ilirska Bistrica, Slovenia, on 10.10.2025.
