+To create a sense of animation, I define a sampler, number of steps, and the classifier-free guidance scale scale that I aesthetically like. Most of this is trial an error. During this process of sifting through gens for every good gen, there's a thousand that are trash. I usually use the `DPM++ 2M Karras` or `LMS` samplers, around 20 to 50 steps, and a CFG scale of 7. I also set the aspect of 16:9 using a `1365 x 768` resolution for the output.\r

+When I get my prompt and settings dialed, I produce a seed travel.\r
+\r
+I generate a series of random seeds, and interpolate between them with a random range of steps -- ranging from as low as 10 steps between seeds, or as high as 280 -- and a random interpolation curves which produces a range of various bursts of motion, or smooth blends.\r
+\r
+After I render this series of frames, I bring the sequences into Davinci Resolve and apply a frame-blending and time dialiation to my taste, and any other color correction, editing, or filtering, before rendering the final output.\r
