It is set against the unforgiving landscape of the Dust Bowl that happened in the Great Plains region of the United States during the 1930s. The song tells a story of hardship, resilience, family, and the stubborn determination to keep moving forward when everything seems lost. This project is a hybrid human-AI collaboration. The song concept, lyrics and video were completely written, directed, and produced by humans at Starfire Media. Assistive AI technology was utilized to shape the instrumentation and vocal layers based on original human songwriting. I created the video entirely in version 12 of PTE AV using many public domain photographs by Dorothea Lange from the Dust Bowl era to which I added various animations, as well as AI generated images and some of my original photographs. It is difficult to imagine what these people must have experienced almost 100 years ago.

Hi, a comment about the backup function. I usually organize my files by dividing them into various folders based on their intended use (photos, other images, maps, tables, music, sounds, etc.). When I unzip the backup zip file, all the hundreds of files are grouped into a single folder, making it nearly impossible for me to make any changes. Wouldn't it be more convenient, if possible, for the backup zip file to replicate the same tree structure as the original folders?

As Mark says very well done. Music and vocals worked well. As you say difficult to imagination what they went through and the production shows the times well, emotionally

Very well done and enjoyable to watch. Great work by all involved.
