Albert TV
And so it begins. Albert TV is officially “on air.” While there are still a few bugs to iron out, Albert said, “You gotta start sooner than later. If not now, then when? Neither of us is getting any younger. C’mon, c’mon, let’s do this.” Yep, he wore me down. Nothing new there.
So, thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and a little help from his friend (that would be me), Albert T. Alien now has his very own soapbox. We had briefly considered YouTube, but recalled our comments on the Home page and quickly came to our senses. We love YouTube and log on practically every day. That said, there are far too many anonymous antagonists, cowardly commenters, hurtful haters, and sadistic shamers. Besides, we are kinda used to doing our own thing our own way.
Editor Note: WordPress (the platform upon which this website is built and maintained) has a file upload limitation of 100 MB per file. This limitation is typically not a problem for images. However, the file size of videos, even short, medium-resolution ones, exceeds this 100 MB limit. As a result, the Albert TV videos are stored in Google Drive and can be accessed via the links below.
Intro Video
While Albert and I have been learning the ins and outs of AI image creation for about a year, this is our first venture into creating AI videos. All in all, a good start. That said, clearly, there is much to learn and much room for improvement. Fingers crossed that said improvement is evident with each and every subsequent video.
This video was created using OpenArt AI and consists of six small video segments that were then “stitched together” with Wondershare Filmora. Albert’s voice, for this and all future videos, was generated using ElevenLabs‘ text-to-voice feature.
Video 02
Creating my second AI video was a much less painful process. After watching a couple of tutorials from my favorite OpenArt trainers, I expanded my up-front process considerably. The video side of my script contained more visual details, and I also added timeline-specific instructions.
This video was created using OpenArt AI and consists of fifteen small video segments that were then “stitched together” in Wondershare Filmora. Albert’s voice was generated using ElevenLabs‘ text-to-voice feature.
Video 03
Creating my third AI video was less painful in some respects and more challenging in others. After watching a couple more tutorials, I expanded my up-front process once more. Even more detail was added to the video side of my script.
This video was created using OpenArt AI and consists of sixteen small video segments that were then “stitched together” in Wondershare Filmora. Albert’s voice was generated using ElevenLabs‘ text-to-voice feature.
Video 04 – Music Video
Without question, this video was our most ambitious project to date. Compared to our previous videos, this one is over twice as long and uses more AI-based components.
And while I spent more time in pre-production on this video, it still took a lot of time to complete. Truth be told, there are still a couple of areas where I would like a do-over. That said, there comes a time when you gotta take a step back and accept that you will always find something you wish you had done differently.
This video was created using OpenArt AI and consists of sixteen small video segments that were then “stitched together” in Wondershare Filmora. Albert’s voice was generated using ElevenLabs‘ text-to-voice feature. The lyrics were created using ChatGPT and the music was created using Suno.
As I am sure you noticed, much like Jim Nabors (aka. Gomer Pyle), Albert’s singing voice is quite different than his speaking voice. An attribute common with many famous celebrities. No doubt, once social media discovers this video, Albert’s first music video, agents will be calling, begging to sign the little green guy.
