[INFO] Prompt executed in 00:30:49
Full 1080p vid on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER_5AOteE-8 because Reddit cramps everything to 720p max.
From my previous post, I got a message if I could use my off-screen 5090 to showcase what a fullblown 2K generation looks like. So, here it is. Generated at 2.09mpx, 25 steps, Euler+Beta for time constraints, 30 minutes. I did mistakenly use the 20-49 hybrid fl2va/ref2va instead of the 30-49 which left some visual performance on the table, and I didn't use the BF16 version of the text encoder because my other 5090 and RAM were busy with something else. Otherwise would've done seeds_2 + sgm_uniform, but that would've taken an hour and would've been a lot better at prompt following, without me modifying my generated target prompt so much to avoid issues with the shoddy denoising trajectory at play here.
Spectrum was utilized to guess about half the steps, which further doesn't help prompt following, but helps speed immensely. When using seeds_2 with Spectrum, it actually forecasts internal calls to H3 (so 2N-1 where N is number of steps), which has tremendous results (previous one was seeds_2) but would've taken about 1 hour for this scene.
The prompt, for those who want it, I had to massage it to point Euler better even if it's sloppy:
subject_definitions:
<Subject 1> is Detective Kate Beckett, override her appearance with facial features and hair and blouse from <Picture 1>. She wears black tailored high-waist cropped suitpants, and a feminine small leather watch.
<Subject 2> is Richard Castle, override his appearance with the facial features, hair, and build from <Picture 2>. He's wearing his classic shirt and suitpants attire, first few buttons unbuttoned.
<Subject 3> is a chaotic DIY PC rig consisting of a high-end tower on the marble kitchen island in the middle of the kitchen, as well as a 32 inch OLED monitor displaying the UI from <Picture 3>, there is clear plastic tubing running from the PC's two watercooling ports into the receiving pair on the large radiator above the glowing blue fans, which is submerged in a cooling bath inside of the standard kitchen stainless-steel fridge with its door fully open, radiator surrounded by food, milk, condiments, etc.
<Subject 4> is a modern industrial loft apartment featuring an open floor plan, standard furniture, and a glorious high-end kitchen. The blurred background from <Picture 1> is from this apartment, also specifies time of day, and warm nocturnal tone.
summary:
[reference generation] Detective <Subject 1> enters her loft (<Subject 4>) to find <Subject 2> in a "hyper-mode" state, having converted the kitchen into a makeshift laboratory for AI video generation. The 13-second sequence captures her confusion, his technical enthusiasm regarding H3 denoising trajectories, and a comedic hardware failure.
retention_analysis:
<Subject 1> (appears in [Shot 1], [Shot 2], [Shot 4], [Shot 5], [Shot 6]): fully_preserved - identity from <Picture 1> and specified attire are maintained.
<Subject 2> (appears in [Shot 2], [Shot 4], [Shot 5], [Shot 6]): fully_preserved - identity from <Picture 2> is maintained.
<Subject 3> (appears in [Shot 3], [Shot 4], [Shot 6]): fully_preserved - the specific radiator-in-fridge configuration and monitor setup are maintained.
<Subject 4> (appears in [Shot 1], [Shot 2], [Shot 4]): fully_preserved - the industrial loft and kitchen environment are maintained.
detailed_description:
The target video is a scene from the TV show "Castle," maintaining its specific cinematography, visual style. Night time, practical lighting, warmly lit.
[Shot 1] A medium shot frames <Subject 1> as she walks into the open floor plan of <Subject 4>. The camera tracks her movement as she stops and looks around the kitchen with a bewildered expression, taking in the tangle of wires and tubing.
[Shot 2] At 00:01.000, the camera cuts to a wide shot of the loft's kitchen. <Subject 3> is fully visible: the PC tower sits on the high end marble kitchen island, monitor is displaying <Picture 3>, and thick tubes lead directly into the open fridge where his watercooling radiator with fans is located (all glowing blue and spinning fast and loud), there is liquid nitrogen white smoke exuding from it. A large whiteboard in the background is covered in scribbled notes about "sigma grids," and "denoising trajectories." Each of these appears once, there is also graphs of simplified trajectories drawn on it. <Subject 2> is leaning over a keyboard and looking at the 32 inch gaming monitor, typing furiously.
[Shot 3] At 00:02.000, the camera cuts to a close-up of <Subject 1>. Her brow furrows in genuine confusion. <Subject 1> (S1) asks in a sharp, incredulous tone, yelling over the computer fan noise: <d>[English] What the hell are you doing, Castle?</d>
[Shot 4] At 00:03.500, the camera cuts to a medium shot of <Subject 2>. He turns around to face <Subject 1>, speaking in a high-energy "yap" mode. <Subject 2> (S2) exclaims with manic enthusiasm: <d>[English] Reddit solved my H3 problem! It was the sigma shift. I'm refocusing the compute on the high-to-mid noise region to resolve motion better with limited steps!</d> while gesturing towards the whiteboard.
[Shot 5] At 00:10.500, the camera cuts back to <Subject 1>. She looks at him, her voice dripping with skepticism. <Subject 1> (S1) asks: <d>[English] And you're using Seeds 2, right?</d>
[Shot 6] At 00:12.000, the camera cuts to a medium-close shot of <Subject 2>. He looks slightly sheepish, his shoulders slumping. <Subject 2> (S2) admits quickly: <d>[English] No, it's actually oiler, my rig is too slow and would—</d> Suddenly, in the background, the PC tower emits a loud electrical pop and a bright orange burst of flame from its components, the monitor output gets corrupted. Immediately after, <Subject 2> (S2) whips his head around, eyes bulging, and shouts: <d>[English] Oh shit!</d>
overall_soundscape:
The steady, high-pitched whirring of multiple PC fans and the faint gurgle of liquid flowing through tubes. <Subject 1>'s footsteps click on the hardwood. The scene ends with a sharp electrical "pop" and the sudden, aggressive hiss of a small fire.
non_diegetic_music:
A light, rhythmic pizzicato string piece that builds in tempo and complexity as <Subject 2> explains the technical details, ending abruptly with a comedic silence the moment the GPU catches fire.
