Show HN: DynamiCrafter: Animating Open-Domain Images with Video Diffusion Priors (github.com/doubiiu)
6 points by Doubiiu on Feb 7, 2024 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Hello HN! We have released a major update of our image-to-video diffusion model, DynamiCrafter, with better dynamic, higher resolution, and stronger coherence.

DynamiCrafter can animate open-domain still images based on text prompt by leveraging the pre-trained video diffusion priors. Please check our project page and paper for more information. We will continue to improve the model's performance.

Comparisons with Stable Video Diffusion and PikaLabs can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NfmIsNAg-g

We are going to hit a point soon where even creators won't be able to spot all the borrowed animation elements due to the black-box nature of generative AI models. I imagine it's going to be like the Akira bike slide but for everything.

Things lifted wholesale from training data but plastered together to create new works will leave us in an uncanny state of semi-permanent déjà vu where our little pattern matching blobs constantly chirp out subtle connections.


Your last paragraph tickles the part of my brain that has read William Gibson’s entire Sprawl series. Thank you for that.
