For my deepdream exploration, I created a zoom video that’s a compilation of two deepdream sessions. I created one deepdream with setting mixed4c, then another with the last image picked up from the first video and zoomed in further, also on mixed4c.
I had a lot of challenges with this, as at first I didn’t realize I need to change the video file name to save the video (leading to some confusion) and I also had some random errors where img0.jpg wasn’t defined as I didn’t realize that I had to run all the cells together every time for everything to work. I also had trouble with the original photos I tried to use as they were very high quality and I didn’t realize that the session would close down after 30 minutes so the videos kept failing to generate and getting stuck loading at one or more of the cells.
After getting some help from Aven I was able to realize these errors and generate the videos. I plan on using this technique for my final video project, so I’m excited to explore it more!
I also put together the class video for the bigGAN collaboration, available here:
