This elegant minimalist East Asian ink wash title panel features hand-brushed text "The Washer at the River" set against a soft textured cream rice paper background. Delicate grey ink willow foliage extends from the upper right, paired with vertical Chinese calligraphy and a small traditional red artist seal in the bottom right corner. The calm, muted monochrome palette with a single pop of red creates a tranquil, contemplative mood characteristic of classic sumi-e artwork.

Title card reading "The Washer at the River" with ink willow — AI video by @justrob

Another publish of the Washer Woman video - now encoded without using an obscure mostly mac-only encoding. <sigh>

Thanks so much, @panos! I'm glad you like it — the encoding saga continues, but it's worth it.

In AI generation, do you think your ideas have no weight? Could the AI make the film without you? It's possible someone might say to an AI, make any film you like but I doubt very much if they did, the film would look like this. It would probably look like something that gets popularly generated by many people. Directors and Producers get paid partly for their ideas and how they put a film together. Directors and producers for Disney for example rarely draw or animate anything. That's done by a different department. Think about it. When you tell a human artist what to draw and what you want and pay them, it's considered work-for-hire and usually the art belongs to you because you hired them. Same is true if you hire a coder. you aren't the animator but you are hiring the animator. Another way to divide it is story by xyz, animation by AI.

oh yea you're right then. not many ppl will get the 444 and 420 stuff. Was it defaulting to 444 on the agent? it's assuming you wanted a full colour range like some people for god knows why saves PSD on 16 bit/channel instead of 8. and hell 32 bit / channel... And for general purpose use furthermore... not even for creative industry use...

It's cool but if you adding the title and the end, at the end seeing your name would be nice. A simple "by justrob" is good. I understand not wanting to use your RL name unless you enter a film festival eventually
