in london uk、Regarding the proposal to replace street lights from gas lights to electric lights、An article about a campaign that should be preserved、Saw it on BBC World News。Converting 275 old gas lamps in London's West End (Westminster City?) to electricity、A story about replacing the 30 lights that have already been replaced with LED lights。

mary poppins、It takes us back to the world of My Fair Lady and Sherlock Holmes.、It is said that it is part of the "fabric" that is London.、Some “very” opinions are also introduced.、The authorities also try not to spoil the atmosphere.、It seems that they are trying to appeal to the ``gaslighting effect''.。There are also photos of "gas lamps" that have already been replaced with LEDs.、Since I don't know the origin, I have no specifications for judgment.。
Apparently there are over 15,000 streetlights in London.、The old man whose job was to turn on the gas lamp every evening is finally retiring.、I remembered seeing another article quite a while ago called。That too、It feels very “British”、That was a good article。

Because it's BBC、Above all, photos、The images are beautiful (by the way, National Geo also has them for the same reason)、I've been subscribing for decades now)。The facial expressions of the people reflected there are also amazing.。Even if you can't read English articles、Even if you can't hear the interview at all、I feel healed just by looking at it。
Although England is an old country、It is also a country of new ideas that create the beginnings of world trends.。For example, pop art, rock and roll, etc.、The depth of history and the way it overlaps with the lives and ideas lived there.、I feel something similar and different from Japan, which also has a long history.。There may be a side where you only see the superficial beauty from the outside, but、Similarly, if we take up preservation campaigns,、To the Japanese media, which only wants to report it as a “protest movement”、An old man lights a lamp one by one.、I don't think you can show the ``human face''、That's what I think (I'd like to post a photo)、(Not possible due to rights)。

There is a word called "casting a shadow"。when writing in letters、I don't send "shade"。“Yin” is the sun(Hinata)against、A word that refers to the side that doesn't get sunlight.、It doesn't have a shape in the first place。Since it can only be visualized indirectly, there is no way it will fall.。

on the other hand、A “shadow” is an object illuminated by light.、( on the dark side)A visual “projection” of that form.、Literally, something that was “thrown out = fell down.”。period、The shape changes depending on the time。The difference between shadow and shade。

「(war is)Expressions like ``cast a shadow on your life''、It's a metaphor that has the "feel" of both.、As a practical matter, in the upcoming Ukraine war,、Of course the people of Ukraine、Russian civilians who were sent to war as soldiers、I wonder how that family feels。If you look at YouTube etc.、Even if I understand your sympathy for Ukraine,、Many treat Russian soldiers as if they were "less than insects."。As was the case with many Japanese soldiers who were drafted from rural areas during previous wars.、I don't think each of them picked up a gun with the intention of killing Ukrainians.。We cannot overlook the massacres in Bucha, etc.、That view also、Perhaps it's because war casts a shadow on our hearts.。

Including “health”、Everything casts a shadow on our lives。without realizing it、Or, even though they are aware of it, their daily actions are based on them.(Seichu)have been。Sometimes there is nothing you can do、You may be able to change by noticing。stop、Sometimes it may be necessary to see your own shadow。

I made this video using half of the holidays.。I also made one more、Except for going to the National Art Center in Roppongi to see the national exhibition.、I spent all my holidays editing videos.。The new work on Tempera No. 6, which is currently in production, has stopped midway through.。Still uploading after the holidays。

Nowadays, complete video production using AI alone has begun.。You don't even need a camera to make a video。Turn your smartphone into a camera? not、No camera at all。Since you don't need a camera, you don't need any other photography equipment or techniques.。No video editing software is required, so editing skills and time are unnecessary.。All you need is a computer and AI software。

Another thing I need is an idea.、Even that is not “essential”。For example, let's say the title is "Spending an Evening on the Beach in Summer"。Write a rough story in sentences。
The AI ​​then presents a "script" based on that story within a few tens of seconds to a few minutes.。A photo (or a drawing) that matches it、Or there is also a video。who reads the script、select character。You can also adjust the quality of your voice and speaking speed.。It will also show you the captions.、You can freely choose the font。You can rewrite the parts you don't like...etc..
In this way, within a few minutes to more than ten minutes、You can complete a video without even having a single photo on hand.。Of course, you can also use your own photos.、It doesn't take any effort for anyone to become the main character of the video.。Moreover,、The copyright of the resulting video (regardless of whether it has any meaning or not) is yours.。Maybe you all already、You may already be watching videos created by AI without knowing it.。

The time I spent on this video、Was all that training time a waste? I feel so pathetic that I want to say。But、I'm sure most videos will be like that soon.。effort etc.、No one would want to do that if possible.。
As I wrote the other day、Was it an American funeral home?、If you have a photo of the deceased or a voice from when he was alive,、Video conversations between the deceased and their families have already become a business.。The content of the conversation is、after the deceased dies、In other words, "at the moment"。If there are any texts or materials written or spoken by the deceased,、From there, the content of the story is unique to that person.、It is said that even the mannerisms of speaking can be reproduced.。100We have become able to have conversations with our ancestors from years ago about today's topics in 2023.。It's a scary thing if you think about it a little deeper.。
Even if you think about the immediate future、Some TV stations will go bankrupt as well.、Most video engineers will also be unemployed.。People who believe that “AI will open up the future of humanity”、It seems that only half of the people think that ``Pandora's box has been opened.''、For now I'm the latter。
