Technical breakdown: Idea: A creative director friend once showed me an amateur wildlife clip of two capercaillies fighting in a German forest. It became a kind of inside joke between us. Concept: I wanted to turn that into a personal gift. He’s into metal, and I’ve always been interested in black metal from an art direction perspective, so the idea was to build a fictional band around this found footage, with the “Racklhahn” as the central figure. Moodboard: Started by building a visual moodboard based on 90s black metal aesthetics and imagery. Prompt development: Fed the moodboard into ChatGPT to help generate MidJourney prompts. This took quite a few iterations until the visual style felt consistent and “locked in”. Image generation: Used MidJourney to create the still images forming the visual world. Video generation: Also used MidJourney for video. The low resolution and imperfections actually worked well here, since the goal was a lo-fi, raw black metal aesthetic. (For other projects I usually rely on different tools for motion.) Music: Created the track using Suno. The lyrics are taken directly from the original voice-over of the biologist who filmed the birds fighting scene. If you understand German, it’s interesting how naturally phrases like “Nebel liegt in der Luft” or “überm Teufelsmoor” translate into a black metal context. Editing: Final assembly and timing done traditionally in Premiere Pro. submitted by /u/Paranormal-Dream
