AI Animated 2023 Victorian Medieval Festival
I had an absolute blast capturing this footage at the 2023 Victorian Medieval Festival, and I learned a lot while experimenting with AI video-to-video processing to give it an animated look.
While I typically focus on live-action filmmaking, I'm genuinely excited about the creative possibilities that AI unlocks. For this video, AI tools have undoubtedly streamlined the process, but it wasn't as simple as applying an AI filter and calling it a day. Despite the remarkable advancements in AI tools, traditional animation techniques and editing also played a crucial role in bringing this video to where it is.
Many thanks to the festival organisers and Kryal Castle for hosting such an incredible event! I can't wait to return next year and capture more medieval magic.

Trying Kodak E100 | Mount Buffalo National Park
มุมมอง 3123 ปีที่แล้ว
Trying Kodak E100 | Mount Buffalo In this video, I visit a park I've had on my list for a very long time, Mount Buffalo National Park. Such an awesome park, and well worth a visit if you get the chance! Also, in this video, I tried a film stock I hadn't tried before and learned that I prefer other stocks, haha. Nothing against E100, I think it did a good job, but prior to making this video I sc...
Black and white film photography | Dandenong Ranges National Park

Black and white film photography | Dandenong Ranges National Park In this video, I gave a few new things a go. If you've seen some of my older videos you'll have noticed I'm not very talkative when I get out with the camera, but this time I've tried to explain what I'm doing as I go. I also shot, developed, and scanned the photos I took completely independently. And sorry for the garbage audio,...
Waking up early for landscape photography | Otway National Park
มุมมอง 2143 ปีที่แล้ว
Waking up early for landscape photography in the Great Otway National Park. In this video, I took a slightly different approach to how I make these videos in two ways. They may seem a little obvious and a little uninspired but really made all the difference to my process. First off I did a scouting trip the day before I actually filmed the video. This meant I had a rough idea of the composition...
Blue Mountains Landscape Photography

Blue Mountains Landscape Photography With perfect timing, I managed to get up to Sydney and the Blue Mountains and back to Melbourne between two periods of border closures between Victoria and New South Wales. A great trip made even better and when I got to film a walk that I've been hanging out to do for a long time. I can also finally say I'm reasonably happy with the photo I took! Certainly ...
Tarra Bulga National Park landscape photography

Tarra Bulga National Park landscape photography So happy to be able to get out and film some hiking and shoot some photos of trees again. I'm disappointed the conditions weren't what I was hoping for, and that my photos weren't up to scratch. BUT, Tarra Bulga National Park still put on a show with wonderful sights, sounds, and hiking weather. I consider myself lucky that I can go out and do thi...
Film Photography | Otway National Park
มุมมอง 1004 ปีที่แล้ว
Otways Film Photography I filmed this video months ago and to be honest, after my initial rough cut, I wasn't a fan. But with lockdown being what it is, I've revisited this old footage and have managed to pull something out of it I'm happy with. This was shot in a way that's different from how I shoot now and plan on shooting future videos, but I think it still fits with my channel well. To tho...
Getting out to shoot one more time | Lerderderg State Park
มุมมอง 1264 ปีที่แล้ว
Last week I managed to get out to shoot one more time before Melbourne was brought back into lockdown again. It sucks to find ourselves here for a second time, but there are bigger and more important things to focus on, and the bush will be there waiting for when we overcome this thing. This video was shot on the lands of the Wurundjeri people in the beautiful Lerderderg State Park (yes, that r...
Medium Format Landscape Photography | Grampians National Park
มุมมอง 1424 ปีที่แล้ว
This video is the second, and unfortunately the last, time I could get the Grampians on medium format - on this trip at least. So nice to get out into nature and shoot, but competing with the weather was a losing battle and it wasn't all I'd hoped it could be. In spite of that though, a break from lockdown and the city was an enormous blessing in these difficult times. I hope you enjoy this lit...
Velvia and Ektar | Grampians National Park
มุมมอง 1624 ปีที่แล้ว
Recently I went out to the Grampians for a few days with friends. Hoping to get out and do a few hikes where I could shoot some film and some videos, we found ourselves unlucky and stuck hiding from rain for most of our trip. But, in spite of the weather, I wasn't going to leave without shooting something. So between downpours, I got out with the camera when I could and this is one of two video...
That was amazing! :O
Hi, g'morning Alex. at least for me, it's morning. I'm in Barbados . Yeah, I did enjoy the video. As you said, I also liked the first 2 images but in reverse order...as for the 3rd and 4th, I'm thinking just a hint of a burst of flash from the left as we viewed the image , especially #4 or you could try the image at a differenttime of day to get that back lighting...here in Barbados we don't have areas as vast as you do in Australia but that's the sort of photography that I love, so keep shooting and I'll be looking out for your images in future..have a great day safely...
love your video, thank you
Thanks for sharing your photographic journey Lovely to see pictures from places I probably never experience with my own eyes Have you tried pushing your bw Film about one or even two stops - I know it’s an open secret but personally, I really do like the look of it Love to photography from Germany :) Thank you
Great pictures. I am really into B&W photos. I like how you went step by step to how you created your shots. I t gave a greater understanding of the craft.
Thankyou for the info on the go...setting etc.
Nice video, but for me the music is far too loud!
Nice video. My pick is composition 2
Really cool video!! You can tell there's been a lot of effort put in filming it. And of course, awesome photos.
good composition. well done
good shorts, but need the sun 😁
Really liked the first two shots ,very nice, the first being my absolute favourite 😍 what a pity you stopped making videos
Nice video and photos!
Enjoyed the video!
Nice video Alex! I really enjoyed seeing your photography in an Australian forest. It brings back memories from four trips that I took to Australia between 2008 and 2012.
Super zdjęcia. Fajne kadrowanie. Bardzo dobry sposób przedstawiania całego procesu wyboru ujęcia. Naprawdę genialne! Podoba mi się. Dziękuję za ten film bo jest bardzo pouczający dla mnie. Kciuk w górę :)
Nice video. Haven’t seen you before. Just on my first roll of film & looking for ideas in Australian bush which is also new to me so thanks.
Not sure if I'm here for the photography or to see the amazing Australian landscapes that I still miss after 15 yrs 🤔...bit of both perhaps
Interesting video!
Very well-produced video! Thanks for sharing your thoughtful compositions with us. Film photography rules!
Beautiful video. I am not knocking the photos you took (long low branching, dead and rotten tree trunks) but the light filtering through foliage just after you enter the park is exquisite. I am jealous. Kinda shows the capability of the (digital) video camera. Looking forward to seeing B&W photos from within the forest. Don’t be afraid to use faster film
Great Video 👍 I’m just beginning so all information was awesome 👏
Very good your channel, I don't know if you use instagram. What is your username?
Thanks for watching, Bruno! I do, my account is 4scythe_ Let me know what you think!
@@alexforsyth4786 Good. I already follow you on Instagram. When are you going to release a new video?
@@brunosalazar8088 Awesome mate! I saw that. Thanks for the follow. Hopefully sometime in the next few weeks I can get out and film another one. We've recently come out of a fairly extensive set of lockdowns in my home town of Melbourne and once things wind down at my work early next year I should be able to get out some more.
I really liked your photos and that developing effect when presenting the image was too cool.
Thanks Bruno! I'm glad you noticed that, I thought it worked well too.
Nice photos and very inspiring video (plus, this park looks amazing! hope I can visit someday) greetings from Spain :)
Thanks Mariana! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's a beautiful park, I'm sure you'd love it if you ever get the chance to make it all the way down here from Spain! I'd love the chance to see a few places out your way too.
So, shoot already....damn, nearly 8 minutes into the video & no pictures....bye
HA! Not a completely unfair assessment. Thanks for coming by and watching as far as you did anyway.
enjoyed the video & yes Lockley’s is a special place. sometimes it’s nice to just let the landscape do the talking
Thanks, Andrew! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. It really is, it stands out to me as a little different to a lot of the other major walks in the Blue Mountains, a big reason why I keep coming back when I can.
I’m new to your channel & enjoyed your video. talking through your settings on each shot is great. I have only shot a couple of rolls of Pan F on 35mm but love the way it renders tones. Your photos have encouraged me to try it on medium format. thanks for sharing & keep going Alex!
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words, Andrew! It's a great stock and has become my favourite/go to black and white roll, you should definitely give it a go on medium format. It's been a while since posts because of lockdown here in Melbourne, but stay tuned, now that things have opened up again, I hope to be out again and shooting more stills and videos before long.
You are so lucky having those Lyrebirds come out to feed, I've been going up to the ranges for the past 50 years and have only spotted them three times , never have been able to capture an image though. Like the tree shoots.
Thanks for watching, Mike! Wow, I didn't know it was so rare to see them out that way! It was a really lucky coincidence I happened to have the camera in my hand when I saw them, they were there for a quick moment and disappeared into the bush soon after.
Hi mate never knew you had a TH-cam channel as well awesome it’s Davo by the way
Yeah man! Been giving it a go and showing some of my photography work on video, it's been fun! I've been watching your stuff mate, good work! Keep it up!
@@alexforsyth4786 thanks mate and yeah it looks like great fun doing your photography. Keep up your great work too
Nice video, and that location in Victoria looks like a calming place to walk around. I actually liked the third photo as my favourite from the set. Keep up with the videos
It really is a great place for a walk, with or without the camera. Thanks for watching, Nick!
Top work, mate! Very nicely done and an informative video.
Thanks, mate! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I tried to do this one a little differently from how I had before with a bit more commentary.
Great to meet you up there on top of the mountain that evening. Pity the sky didn't cooperate a little more. Looks like the next night was much the same. Good luck with your photography.
Great meeting you up there too, Michael! Yeah, it's a shame it didn't light up as much as we'd hoped. I look forward to going back though, hopefully things work out for the better next time. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your photography too, mate!
Nice mate, this is my hood too
Thanks mate! It's a great area, you're a lucky man!
Love this one! Really like you explaining your composition for each shot. They all came out great.
Thanks, man! Still need to work on talking to the camera, but it was good trying something different and being a bit more talkative this time around. Definitely, something I'll keep working on in the future.
Awesome videos man! Great video and photos, love how you filmed the mosses too, Keep it up!
Thanks mate! They were so cool, there's no way I wasn't going to pick up a couple shots of them along the way.
Sick shots man! The atmosphere of that first one was especially beautiful.
Thanks, mate! It really was some of the best conditions I could have asked for. Totally lucked out this time around.
Watching this a second time just so I can see the amazing shots again 👌 Magnificent stuff keep it up
Thanks, mate! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Loved it. Great work :)
Thanks, Dad! Glad you liked it.
Great waterfall image mate.
Thanks, Stephen!
Hey Alex. Great video and images. It would be good to hear more from you in your videos. So we can get to know you a bit better.
Thanks Stephen! There will be videos in the future where you'll hear more from me, for sure. Cheers for the feedback
so sick
Thanks man!
Love this style, very relaxing to watch with the nature sounds in the background. Can't wait for the next one 👍
Thanks, Troy! Glad you liked it mate!
