Haven't posted in awhile, but I'm on here everyday.  I never spam my music here, but figured if anyone could relate to this song it would be you guys.  Trigger warning: video made with AI scenes (I'm too poor to make a real video like this)

I like it a lot! Great job  

But did I see a 4stroke with a two stroke pipe?  AI.

Yeah at first I tried an app where I just put my song in and it generated an AI video..  That was terrible, it had me at horse racing tracks and track and field events.  Found it better to just generate 6-10 second clips and edit it together myself to get what I wanted.  It usually took several tries to get what I had in mind.  

The one thing AI couldn’t grasp was the starting gate.  The closest it got was about a 12ft tall gate that fell behind the riders as they took off.  The starting gate clip in the video is the only one that’s not AI.

I know, I know I'm part of the "get off my lawn" generation but the AI stuff is a big put off for me. Some still pics of you and your family would have made me like the video too. But as of now, I just like the song.

I get where you’re coming from.  AI scares the heck outta me in some scenarios.  I’m not trying to have a debate about AI or change your mind, but consider this..  Just like when I write a song, I had an idea of what I’m trying to convey with the video, an idea, a story or feeling..  Five years ago I wouldn’t have been able to convey that idea without having a record label, hiring actors, shooting scenes, etc.  Likely hundreds of thousands of $.   This allowed a little guy like me that makes music in his garage when his kids go to bed to bring my idea to life for about $20.

I do have a bit of a confession to make. After I read your last post and thought about it, I remembered that I had done something similar about 9 or 10 years ago. My son showed me how to use Reaper and after 20 years of not playing I was back into music with both feet. As you know, you can produce music in your living room now  that is every bit as professional sounding as anyone. After I spent some time learning how to use it, I wrote a little surf tune and I thought it sounded great, of course, and found some surfing video to put with it and posted it on Youtube. First thing I ever posted there and never did another music video since. I have posted other stuff but yeah, you pretty much talked me down off of my highhorse and I can see why you did it the way you did. BTW, here is a link if you want to see the incriminating evidence. I don't want to commandeer your topic so I didn't embed it. Just a link.

That is really good!  Checked out some of the other videos on your channel.  Now I know who to ask if I have any questions about amplifiers 😄
