A Midjourney Journey — Making-of

A Midjourney Journey — Making-of

Step 1: Zoom-Out 29x from End-Frame switching aspect ratios

[Quick aside: To those looking closely, you will notice that some of my “stylize” and “chaos” parameters were using the wrong kind of dash (“––” vs “–“). This was because I generated the very first image on my iPhone Discord app (which uses the wrong kind of dash unless you intentionally change it) and then every time I zoomed out, I only replaced parts of the prompt and the “–ar” so (I’m pretty sure) none of those images at the beginning actually have the “stylize” at 750 and the “chaos” at 100, even though I am pasting the original prompts. Later on, I realized the mistake and started using the correct kind of dash.]

Step 2: Pan Left from Zoom-out AND Pan Right from First Image

First, do one different Zoom-out from the End Frame (this will become the starting image):

Then, by going back and forth, I can try and make their styles more similar on their opposite edges
