A stunning night-dance photograph featuring a graceful female dancer in a flowing lavender kimono-inspired costume with a wide black obi, moving under dramatic blue stage lights and a luminous full moon. The ethereal mood, flowing fabric, and poised pose create a cinematic, culturally inspired performance image ideal for dance, culture, and fashion keywords.

Animated my story scene ballerina image. It didn't keep the anime style but I think it's quite lovely anyways. Disregard the sound, Grok does it when it animates but I'll strip it out later. I want to create a few more story scenes and then cobble them together into one clip. I've made the music for it.

@DavidP Videos are a bit of a time sink honestly. Most times I can get the image I want in 1-3 tries. With videos, it's still a lot harder. Still a lot of mutant stuff. It's frustrating sometimes. But oh so much better than 6 months ago. I might get back into it. Maybe. Having a place to share it with other folks also doing it is really nice. I don't really like working in a vacuum.

Thank you! The only problem with Grok tho is it does not have good character consistency although it does have good moves. BP and Hailuo have much better character and scene consistency. Right now it feels like a trade-off because different video models have slightly different strengths although they are all improving at remarkably fast rates.

@CaylaCatz I shall purposeful resist any urge to get into video- have enough trouble balance time in GAI just focused on images 🤣 But it is astonishing to see what is being generated now, compared to even 6 months ago

Beautiful. Look forward to the final video with a longer dancing sequence
