The following is my first experiment with Stable Diffusion, using Run Diffusion's Deforum application to create a text to video generative animation.
Spinfluence was first published 10 years ago, with the Fake News edition getting a second print run in honour of Donald Trump's presidency. Now Vladimir Putin takes centre stage, so it seemed fitting to blend their two distinctive mugs together, making a statement about how autocratic leaders tend to all blend into one another with their lust for power.
Initial experimentation with deforum videos of the Trump/Putin blend as I played around with different text prompts to see what would work best, in what style, and when to transition.
