Glenroe
Following on from training LoRAs on low fidelity images, I was inspired to wonder how-low-can-i-go. Glenroe, a rural Irish soap opera broadcast from the 1980s-2000, is all but forgotten today save 15 or so VHS uploads from tapes. State broadcaster RTE notoriously has lost all broadcasts prior to 1977. Coupled with the closed archive I felt that resurrecting an iconic, you had to have been there at the time, television program would work as a technical exercise, nostalgic trip down memory lane, and a perfect benchmark for my intent of using AI for drama, rather than action or memes. Very much a WIP, work on DG Glenroe was disrupted by a necessary shift from a ShotGrid database to a custom one. Characters doubling, LoRA context bleed between characters, and refinement of prompting methodology is evident in the most recent shots done with my advanced prompting logic. I have yet to match to the higher fidelity tests that are crafted from a single prompt block.
