Decided there needed to be a follow-up to our previous fantasy dungeoncrawl music video.

My basic concept was to do one of those counting type songs, about a doughty Dwarf warrior counting the Orcs he's slain. Working with AI, these were the final lyrics:

(Verse 1)
One, two, three, no auld foe for me!
Orcs lay scattered, beneath the gnarled tree.
Four, five, six, a good sturdy axe,
Each swing a whisper, until impact.

(Chorus)
Oh, the pipes are singing of battles hard-won,
Our clan is dancing, as rises the sun.
One hundred slain at the break of the day,
Dwarven spirit, to drive them away!

(Verse 2)
Seven, eight, nine, they attacked our line,
Their snarls and their growls, a gruesome design.
Ten, eleven, twelve, into the dark delves,
We charged forth like thunder, sending them to Hell!

(Chorus)
Oh, the pipes are singing of battles hard-won,
Our clan is dancing, as rises the sun.
One hundred slain at the break of the day,
Dwarven spirit, to drive them away!

(Outro)
From height to depths, we hear the true call,
One hundred more, before nightfall!

The AI also helped with the musical instructions:

Thunderous low chants of dwarf voices echoing in ancient caverns, resonant male vocals with a deep and gruff timbre, mystical and otherworldly atmosphere, reminiscent of epic fantasy tales and Dungeons and Dragons adventures, rich harmonies and powerful vocal presence, immersive and larger-than-life feel, masterfully mixed for clarity and depth, evoking a sense of ancient lore and grandeur.

I then asked AI for a suitable piece of art, and it came up with this:

Dwarven Spirit

On further consideration, the art has some minor flaws. Why are the Dwarves carrying knives? What's on fire? Who's holding some of those axes? Are their ears pointed? Ah, close enough, I say. grin

I then asked AI to give me an animated 10-second video which I could loop to go with the song. I didn't expect the result, which has the Dwarves sort of side-stepping, but it works!

The final step was to combine the music and the animating art, using ClipChamp:

This was a fun project, and I enjoy the result.

I've posted the video as a reel on the TMP Facebook page (two versions, as I added captions later). Some people seem to like it.
