WEBVTT 00:00.630 --> 00:02.040 -: All right, I'm gonna talk about how 00:02.040 --> 00:06.000 to get realistic models that are vaguely familiar 00:06.000 --> 00:08.700 and also attractive with Midjourney. 00:08.700 --> 00:10.800 So, this is a little trick I found. 00:10.800 --> 00:11.940 Someone, this isn't mine. 00:11.940 --> 00:14.940 Someone taught me this, but I can't remember who. 00:14.940 --> 00:17.190 If you are that person, you should remind me 00:17.190 --> 00:18.720 and I'll give you attribution. 00:18.720 --> 00:19.653 But one of the problems 00:19.653 --> 00:22.652 that you have in general is you say a photo of a person 00:22.652 --> 00:25.788 actually does generate pretty good stuff. 00:25.788 --> 00:28.140 I think Midjourney in particular is really good at 00:28.140 --> 00:30.450 generating a diverse set of images. 00:30.450 --> 00:33.540 But I have a little trick, which is you want the models 00:33.540 --> 00:35.340 to be, I think, attractive, 00:35.340 --> 00:38.010 but also you don't wanna say a photo 00:38.010 --> 00:40.470 of Emma Watson or whatever. 00:40.470 --> 00:43.020 Because, say if you want to use that in a, 00:43.020 --> 00:48.020 in context, you say a photo of Emma Watson as a pirate. 00:48.330 --> 00:51.180 If you want a picture of a pirate like Emma Watson is a good 00:51.180 --> 00:54.810 way to make that person like Hollywood attractive. 00:54.810 --> 00:56.661 But that can be a real problem 00:56.661 --> 01:00.390 because that is potentially violating her image rights 01:00.390 --> 01:03.060 and you can't really use her likeness. 01:03.060 --> 01:05.460 But there is a trick to doing this, 01:05.460 --> 01:06.630 and so we're just gonna wait 01:06.630 --> 01:08.280 for these generations to happen. 01:08.280 --> 01:09.720 The model, by the way, is very good at 01:09.720 --> 01:11.430 generating pictures of Emma Watson. 01:11.430 --> 01:15.270 This is why a lot of AI generation tutorials use her 01:15.270 --> 01:19.170 as an example because it has a lot of training data on her. 01:19.170 --> 01:20.130 And that's her as a pirate. 01:20.130 --> 01:23.040 And it looks, I think, a little bit too close to her. 01:23.040 --> 01:24.840 Although Midjourney does do some stuff, 01:24.840 --> 01:27.810 I think in the backend to change your prompt, 01:27.810 --> 01:30.000 so you're not getting an exact replica, which is, 01:30.000 --> 01:31.785 I think smart on their behalf. 01:31.785 --> 01:33.558 But here's my trick and 01:33.558 --> 01:36.150 what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna use prompt waiting 01:36.150 --> 01:38.400 and I'm gonna mix a couple of celebrities. 01:38.400 --> 01:40.170 This is an example here. 01:40.170 --> 01:45.170 I'm gonna, I'm gonna say a, a photo of, yeah, 01:45.360 --> 01:48.750 as a pirate and add this in here. 01:48.750 --> 01:50.520 And then, so what I'm mixing, 01:50.520 --> 01:52.860 and I, I think this actually works pretty well if you mix 01:52.860 --> 01:56.160 two different genders as well, a photo of Matthew Perry 01:56.160 --> 01:57.960 with 20% 01:57.960 --> 02:02.010 and a photo of Jennifer Lawrence with 80% as a pirate. 02:02.010 --> 02:05.160 So lemme just see what that comes back with. 02:05.160 --> 02:07.920 So I'm using a real mix of two different celebrities 02:07.920 --> 02:10.290 and what you get tend, what we tend 02:10.290 --> 02:12.750 to get at least, is when you mix two celebrities, 02:12.750 --> 02:13.950 they look vaguely familiar 02:13.950 --> 02:15.930 because you recognize some of the features, 02:15.930 --> 02:19.050 but it's not attributable to either celebrity. 02:19.050 --> 02:23.040 So, while that's running, I'm gonna do the opposite as well, 02:23.040 --> 02:24.540 just so you can compare. 02:24.540 --> 02:28.020 And now we're gonna dial it to 80%, Matthew Perry 02:28.020 --> 02:32.553 and 20%, Jennifer Lawrence as a pirate, and see what we get. 02:41.490 --> 02:43.230 Okay, there we go. So that is like, 02:43.230 --> 02:45.300 that picture in particular I think is pretty interesting 02:45.300 --> 02:47.400 because it looks a bit like Jennifer Lawrence, 02:47.400 --> 02:49.620 but is not really attributable to her, 02:49.620 --> 02:52.590 and then equally here, this is interesting. 02:52.590 --> 02:54.120 This is, you know, gonna be more male 02:54.120 --> 02:56.640 because we have more Matthew Perry in there, 02:56.640 --> 02:58.140 but it's very different. 02:58.140 --> 03:00.480 We could, we could try this as well with Emma Watson just 03:00.480 --> 03:02.610 to compare their results. 03:02.610 --> 03:06.557 And you can say a video of Matthew Perry, 20% 03:06.557 --> 03:11.557 and a photo of a Watson as a pirate. 03:12.090 --> 03:13.920 So you can mix those two things together 03:13.920 --> 03:15.360 and look at, this is pretty cool. 03:15.360 --> 03:19.020 I say that these images in particular, I think are like, 03:19.020 --> 03:20.580 they look like they should be a Hollywood 03:20.580 --> 03:22.350 actor, but they're not. 03:22.350 --> 03:25.590 They're fake. And you can get some really cool results. 03:25.590 --> 03:28.560 The other thing you can do is not just mixed genders, 03:28.560 --> 03:33.090 but just have two different people of the same gender, 03:33.090 --> 03:36.210 but like Amber heard in here, give a dash of Amber Heard 03:36.210 --> 03:38.550 to Emma Watson and see what it looks like. 03:38.550 --> 03:40.770 This one interestingly looks a little bit like the 03:40.770 --> 03:42.180 girl from Game of Thrones. 03:42.180 --> 03:44.850 So yeah. Anyway, this is, this is a technique 03:44.850 --> 03:46.380 that I use all the time. 03:46.380 --> 03:48.780 I very rarely prompt for a specific celebrity. 03:48.780 --> 03:52.320 I mix 'em together and you get a much better result, 03:52.320 --> 03:55.920 I think, and it's more unique, more non-attributable. 03:55.920 --> 03:57.930 So, really helpful technique. 03:57.930 --> 03:59.280 And once you see it, 03:59.280 --> 04:01.701 you'll be using it everywhere hopefully. 04:01.701 --> 04:03.600 And here we go. There's a photo 04:03.600 --> 04:05.250 of Amber Heard mixed with Emma Watson. 04:05.250 --> 04:06.810 I think it's still looks Hollywood, 04:06.810 --> 04:11.010 but it's, you can't tell which celebrity it is. 04:11.010 --> 04:12.760 All right. Hopefully that's useful.
