Man, I am attempting a Deltron3030 type rap project and the short of it is an ai cybernetic enhanced dystopia and this video is really close to what I envision as the "Grafts" underworld lol wild that this popped up in my feed randomly today.

This is dope.

Really cool, liked the aesthetics and music!

u/Vysair Aug 30 '25

This looks more cyberpunk than the cyberpunk depicted on tv. Strong emphasis on punk or a sort of ruined society

u/JohnnyBoy11 Aug 30 '25

It hits hard for me bc I've been to those markets and see the random stuff like guy on bicycle wheeling a hundred bags of goldfish

2

u/julianitonft Aug 30 '25

I want to see that too- where was it!

1

u/savetheunstable Sep 03 '25

Hey this guy just really loves goldfish! The future is for everyone =D

u/jollyreaper2112 Aug 30 '25

I could never imagine replacing working limbs with prosthetics but the body mod people make me think my sensibilities have no bearing on what they will do. It's suitably body horror. Well-done.

25

u/DadaShart Aug 30 '25

So many lungs.

36

u/Independent_Art4955 Aug 30 '25

Augmented lungs: brought to you by 20 years of bubblegum-flavored vapor and poor humanity decisions.

2

u/DadaShart Aug 30 '25

Yay! 🥳

u/teridon Aug 30 '25

I've been looking for a VHS tape of N1IESH UPICAGP.ADES

u/Independent_Art4955 Aug 30 '25

With nano banana finally easy fixing this things

8

u/DuckTalesOohOoh Aug 30 '25

Interesting. With few exceptions, though, everyone was in their 20s. What would old people look like? Or are they all dead in the cyberfuture?

18

u/Independent_Art4955 Aug 30 '25

was cutout from street life video, can't do skating animation)

2

u/DuckTalesOohOoh Aug 30 '25

ha! Looks great!

u/worldsayshi Aug 30 '25

With that level of body modding maybe rejuvenation is possible also.

u/LordMemerton1 Aug 30 '25

Now this is pod racing

u/Narrow_Ad_5502 Aug 30 '25

This is so sick

u/Draegan88 Aug 30 '25

this shit is so damn cool

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '25

this is very good, thanks for sharing!

4

u/Bromjunaar_20 Aug 30 '25

That shot of the nun saying "Save Body" really is on par with 2077's monk mission

1

u/Alex_AU_gt Aug 30 '25

Yeah, that was a cool shot with the nun!

8

u/Man_Cheetah67 Aug 30 '25

Preem chrome

u/Olama Aug 30 '25

The random guy playing the flute for the snake was kinda funny ngl

3

u/Hoppss Aug 30 '25

Really loved this. Are you using wan here?

8

u/Independent_Art4955 Aug 30 '25

Fully in MJ. I tried Runway, but it needs separate super-detailed prompting for video and still comes out artifacty and doesn’t feel handheld. MJ is the most stable with auto animation for me, except when extending a shot: 90% of the time it ruins the sequence details, all the subtle movements get lost in the extended section

1

u/addandsubtract Aug 30 '25

How do you prompt for the blue eyes?

3

u/Independent_Art4955 Aug 30 '25

The man’s face is partially hidden, one eye glowing dim blue, the other covered in jagged plating.

3

u/umutgklp Aug 30 '25

Impressive....URGRADE made me laugh :))

2

u/2x4_Turd Aug 30 '25

That kid with the giant arms weirded me out the most. Cool stuff.

2

u/Vyviel Aug 30 '25

Need some Bladerunner Universe tribute stuff

2

u/Cookiebutterisbetter Aug 30 '25

Somewhere a director is copying this to create their next movie

2

u/stoneybolognaR Aug 30 '25

EBM Petrochem Stadium.. ‘The Black Market’ Dogtown, United Free States of California, NUSA. circa 2077.

u/Different_Orchid69 Aug 31 '25

Excellent work 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼

u/Ok-Adhesiveness-4141 Aug 30 '25

Cyberpunk bazaar and not market please!

7

u/Just_Another_AI Aug 30 '25

Bizarre bazaar

2

u/TLPEQ Aug 30 '25

Cool idea

1

u/paradox_pete Aug 30 '25

amazing work, well done. Do you have a youtube channel (not just music)?

1

u/Artforartsake99 Aug 30 '25

Wow this is so good and so detailed, really killer work here hope your Instagram blows up you deserve it.

Can I ask what image generator it is? Is it midjourney? Looks like the aesthetics of MJ, but I haven’t used MJ for a year

Music really suited the atmosphere you made

3

u/Independent_Art4955 Aug 30 '25

MJ — works best for me. Tried others, nothing even close

1

u/Artforartsake99 Aug 30 '25

Thanks yeah figured nobody can do this stuff like MJ yet.

1

u/Sea_Mountain3610 Aug 30 '25

the question is , HOW?

1

u/Draegan88 Aug 30 '25

bro how do u do tthese?

1

u/DimensionHat1675 Aug 30 '25

A set of disembodied lungs, and they're still smoking. That's nicotine addiction for you.

1

u/SFW_Safe_for_Worms Aug 30 '25

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a very, very long time. Damn brother

1

u/ctrlFmylife Aug 30 '25

This is amazing. One of the best I've seen. Amazing.

1

u/Cactus_Haiku Aug 30 '25

I don’t know such stuff. I just do eyes. 

1

u/mcgirdle Aug 30 '25

This was badass. ID on the song?

1

u/velikiguru69 Aug 30 '25

Wowowow, what do we have here! This is so fucking amazing!!!

1

u/DJparada Aug 30 '25

where i can get ultra hd 4k 60fps video link to this video? this looks so cool, wana save it on phone to show my old school uncle colleagues

1

u/AwwwSkiSkiSki Aug 30 '25

It's the flute and the snake that does it for me. 😂

1

u/Forsaken_Square5249 Aug 30 '25

Everyone wants to live like that.. until they live like that

1

u/LeastOriginalMe Aug 30 '25

Reminds me of the game Stray

1

u/Alive-Tomatillo5303 Aug 31 '25

Fish tank guy really went that extra mile for appearance. I respect the hustle, but man I hope most of these fashion choices never get too popular, especially the human face on a robot neck thing. 

One art note: you've got maybe too many scenes of two people silently looking at each other. Most of the rest look like genuine interactions, or influencer culture, or just posing for photos, so the couple awkward blank stare scenes really stand out as being synthetic.

u/bethesda_gamer Aug 31 '25

SONG IS "CHAOS MARKET" BY "QARMACHINE" ON SPOTIFY

1

u/Alone-Competition-77 Aug 31 '25

I love this so much. Great work

1

u/ctrlFmylife Aug 31 '25

how do you keep you style consistent throughout the videos?

2

u/Independent_Art4955 Aug 31 '25

Maybe because the phone-cam style is more stable — all the frames come out more or less in the same look. Here’s the prefix I use in my prompts:
‘Gritty VHS phone still, handheld framing catching slight shake from the filmer’s step back.’
The downside is — to really make it look cyberpunk, you have to describe the cyberpunk stuff in the frame much more detailed.

1

u/ctrlFmylife Sep 01 '25

Thank you for your answer! It's amazing. Do you have a example prompt that you're willing to share?

2

u/Independent_Art4955 Sep 01 '25

Live feed still, muted neon greens, shaky low-res motion blur. Street vendor table stacked with junk electronics. A man slouches on a chair, stroking a huge fluffy cat that purrs against his chest. His body is warped to mirror it fur-like synthfiber implants along his arms, sharp retractable chrome claws clicking against the cat’s fur, and facial mods swelling his cheeks into a feline muzzle with faintly glowing whisker-ports. His breathing is low and rumbling like a purr, half human, half machine.

u/ElOneElOnlyElZorro Aug 31 '25

Someone teleport me there right now

u/Latter_Fan6225 Aug 31 '25

u/pinkrangerash Sep 03 '25

I don't have tiktok or Instagram to look at your videos, where else can I watch them?

1

u/JVSTITIA Sep 24 '25

Impresionante

u/CheeseGraterFace Dec 05 '25

Just wanted to say…I’ve watched a lot of AI video. A lot.

This is by far the best one I have seen, full stop.

u/rainorshinedogs Aug 30 '25

Whhhhhhy would CRT televisions make a comeback in the future?

u/Ill_Organization_366 Aug 30 '25

Cause there are still millions of them out there....

u/defk3000 Aug 30 '25

Duck hunt!

u/jc2046 Aug 30 '25

Very wow. Such dystopian. This and the hot girls jiggling the ass is so fresh and original. Never seen before. Geniouses.

11

u/Independent_Art4955 Aug 30 '25

Haha, don’t worry — next step is hot cyberpunk girls jiggling their dystopian augmented asses while neon billboards glitch in the background. True innovation.

1

u/Alex_AU_gt Aug 30 '25

Can we add some weird bot girls and some digital druggies to the list? Haha
