About this video

Vibrant tropical performance featuring a man playing the ukulele in turquoise waters, adorned with a Hawaiian lei, flanked by four hula dancers in grass skirts. The backdrop of palm trees and a distant mountain at sunset creates a festive island mood, making this ideal for travel, music, and luau-themed content.

    I agree with Grok being better than Pixverse. Musk didn't make Grok any more than he made Tesla or Twitter. He's very good at recognizing good tech and acquiring it. I'm thinking what Grok gained when Musk bought it was all the vids posted on Twitter as training videos. When I tried Grok before (when someone told me it was free vids but alas no longer), it was such a huge leap over what I was doing on NC. Amazing. Back then Grok was giving away 20 free daily video gens. That's really when my vid prompting got better. As 20 is enough to fix mistakes, gen again, fix the next problem until you got a decent vid. Alas, they no longer do the freebies. sniffs.

    Amazing! I started learning Ukulele because of him! Now I have around six ukes at home. My 17 years old granddaughter started playing it around 10, and can play any song with it, even complex chords.

    Yeah, I hate to say it (because we despise Elon Musk as a person), but Grok is an okay animator. Not as good as Seedream, but way better than Pixverse haha.

    Fun video! The grass skirt and hip movements is pretty good. It does not blur, you can see the grass strands moving. that's pretty great

    I know. I watched all of that show I could find on YT. And maybe a documentary. Yeah, found these I'd saved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEqzTlZdfSo and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDN_ss1S_5Y

    Yes, he really brought ukulele playing to the world. Great to hear your granddaughter is so good at it!

    Fine tribute. His is a great version of the song, though not my favourite. This may well be that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rd8VktT8xY

    Video came out awesome! Great work!

  • @panos ·

    Excellent! (Didn't know of him)

  • @faerierealm ·

    Indeed, her version is even more beautiful. So awful that she passed away at an even younger age than he did.
