Shameless

 


I have officially become the Vern Fonk of t-shirt vendors. I got the idea to go all low-brown with my advertising yesterday when I drove by a local brewery that had one of those inflatable tube men. I discovered they are officially called Air Dancers.  So I turned to my best friend and worst enemy ChatGPT to help me create my own.  

Turns out ChatGPT doesn't do video or animation, but it gave me a storyboard for my very own Dizgraceland Dizigns Air Dancer.


Then it pointed me to a video AI site called Vidu (an AI version of "I've got a guy".) They provided five free tries at creating my Air Dancer video.  Then ChatGPT walked me through adding text and I got my first primative commercial.



I posted that last night along with one attempt at animating one of my new t-shirt designs celebrating National Vanilla Milkshake Day. 




I'm just a one-stop guerilla advertising machine (or in my case, gorilla advertising).  My problem is that I'm quite proficient at cranking out content, I just having figured out how to get it to bring in people to my t-shirt of collectibles shop. I realize part of the problem is that I only post on Blue Sky, Instagram and sort of Facebook. Apparently TikTok is where you generate true sales. It just seems so complicated to post on TikTok because you have to use your phone and I'm an old school desktop guy.

I'm on a mission though.  My next idea is to animate an Alien sign spinner. 

Maybe I'll have it dressed like a mattress.
