`ღ´- I was tapped by Real World Records, Peter Gabriel’s record label, to complete a video for his 50/50 project to create a video to complement a song from Peter Gabriel‘s latest album, i/o!
I was asked to choose the track of my liking. I picked “Live And Let Live” because of its message of world peace and the challenge of, well, a Peter Gabriel video! I took it as an opportunity to show the current capabilities of AI video and digital animation, back in February, 2025.
Mine was among the first handful of accepted videos, but since then, the record company has opened the doors and are soliciting new participants. It’s not even a year later now, and I am awed and amazed at the increased realism and variety of creative ideas. There is no limit or end. I believe I am feeling the acceleration as we near the event horizon.
See the video here. See my comments about the project and see Peter’s as well.

`ღ´- Walter Holland, one of the “Fathers” of New Age Music agreed to me making a video using his song “Of This Men Shall Know Nothing”, from his latest release, “The Sketchbook Of Max Ernst”. This was the perfect music for the video that I had in mind for the sand creatures from chapter II book II of “The Succession.”
This serendipitous AI video project was exactly what I envisioned, but Walter’s music was the missing ingredient that makes this seven minute 20 second video stand on its own. I am grateful to meet Walter, a great guy and very open, and the time working on this project was truly educating and fun! I am awed by Mr. Holland and his many pursuits of excellence. Thanks Walter!
