Three Is Sufficient...

[Steve Hawley]

I produced this using several AI products last December, and presented it Xmas Day, in a bid to gain my wife's approval for a 4th pinball machine - her phrase was always "Three Is Sufficient".
She was impressed, but she didn't relent, until recently... .
If you have 2m30s, take a look. Hope you find it funny.

Hope to see many of you at Pinfest!

(P.S. I swear that I did not prompt AI to generate the guy on the right to look like any deleted member!)

Why didn"t you make it more metal? The style is for teenage girls and I was having a breakdown listening to it I saw it through to the end though.

Fair point! I was attempting to appeal to a more mainstream audience (of one, at the time) - maybe a remix is on the cards!

For future arguments, if one of them is a Virtual Pin it doesnt really count so you only actually had two.

And, of course, if I borrowed one...

Thats awesome!

Whats next?? "Four is fine but five is better"??

 

[Calimori]

And lend some out. If you have three, lend them out and borrow five, as a tax deductible you technically have none at home and can buy more.

Isnt that Bonnie Blue's Life Mantra?

Yes Tucks:
The lyrics & music was pretty quick - probably a couple of hours messing with changing lyrics, adding a refrain etc. (ChatGPT, and Suno)
The video, was Leonardo.ai for the images. There was a bit of trial and error on many of them, extra people showing, too many pins in the shot etc, so produced many more than needed, but once I got what I needed for the storyboard in my head, all good.
I could have used Adobe Premiere faster to produce it, but I stayed online and used Veed.io to put it together, and do the animated bits - it allowed the subtitles to be automated too.

All in all, maybe 20 hours of fiddling and faffing - could have done it a lot faster, but I wanted it spot on

She's a strong woman - but in the end, out of nowhere, I got the green light last month!

Pro tip.
Just buy the pinball machine(s), women can only be angry for so long
