Please list and/or describe each Generative or Machine Learning System(s) used in final submission: "Adrift" employs three distinct AI systems: Midjourney to generate the initial seed image that sets the tone for the composition, color palette, and visual themes. PYTTI (Python Text-to-Image) then transforms textual prompts and numerical parameters into a sequence of unique images, resulting in a generative 12fps animation. In this stage, the code is iteratively refined to match the overall vision. Finally, Topaz Video AI upscales and interpolates the animation to 4k 60fps.
