This is a scene from Dasha Bough's fictional "Republic of Dusharovka". This animated scene was created in September of 2024 using a pipeline Bough developed in 2020 for the feature animated film "The Conspiracy". Bough's animation workflow starts with her oil paintings, and utilizes the following technologies: 3D animation (sculpting in Blender, character animation in iClone and the Reallusion suite), motion capture (using Rococo software and working with a third party company and actors), Midjourney (generative ai using a model trained on Bough's oil paintings and photos of her likeness), a Digital Diffusion model (also trained on Bough's oil paintings, photos of her sculptures, and photos of her likeness), Procreate (a digital editing and drawing software akin to Photoshop), Kling Ai (a generative text to video and image to video ai software), and Adobe Premiere (for compositing animation, editing, and sound design).
