Midjourney AI can be used for many things, including this Coracle Music Festival video. VFX specialist Rufus Blackwell wanted to fuse the image quality of Midjourney with his tool set by first extracting key frames from the footage he shot of a beach festival in Vietnam.
These key frames were then loaded into Midjourney, which prompted the AI to generate an entirely new scene. For example, an aerial night shot could be given a prompt of a ‘futuristic neon-lit alien cityscape, set in a dystopian future’ and something entirely different from the source material would be created. One thing that Blackwell really liked was Midjourney’s ability to match color grading, lighting conditions and the scene’s energy.

The resulting video could then be easily layered on top using blending modes like Add/Screen. The trick with these is to use an image prompt that would create a highly stylized output so it overlays adding to the original scene,” said Rufus Blackwell, VFX Specialist to Peta Pixel.
