The video interploates between individual images it has generated.
The program (RunwayML) has image generation algorithms that have generic models (objects, landscapes etc) and you can refine them by feeding it with similar images on top of that.
Here's an article on the jist of it:

I didn't really do much myself apart from knock up a dirty python script to source a load of images. But it killed an afternoon of boredom and I quite liked the results!
The interior is not that big. The photos are taken with a Nikon 14-24mm lens (or equivalent ultra wide rectilinear lens (not fisheye, straight lines in reality don’t get curved in the photo).
I have one of these lenses. It makes interiors look ENORMOUS, and the lens quality is exceptional which is why it’s known as the real estate lens.
Via. H/T to /u/hallmarkthrow's excellent submission, which is how I found this.
Is recommend buying this brutalist map of London - I have it and it’s really good. Will help you map based on where you may be visiting day to day! Also had a lot of buildings I hadn’t heard of.
I highly recommend this book I've got, its called Brutal North, worth a purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brutal-North-Post-War-Modernist-Architecture/dp/1912836157/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
There appears to be a book that was once printed in 1996 by Ramsay Publishing in Paris, see link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/2841142485/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i0

I have never been able to find this book anywhere. Do any of you lovely people have any idea where I could find it, even used?
Mm... You can look Kiev city, for example in Google Maps panoramas. I can’t attach photos here, but look at districts like Obolon, Troyeschina. Kharkov city, Pripyat also. It can be said generally about any other post-soviet cities.
Moscow is being modernized intensively now. Now concrete buildings are being decorated by panels and siding, almost everywhere. But only in last 7-10 years.
Kiev remains generally untouched.
I don’t know what is your judgement based on, ‘cause I used to live there and it is basic knowledge for me.
Ah, I have a better idea. There is an entire group that posts pictures of buildings I’m talking about: Photos of bare concrete buildings in post-USSR

Be sure to leave a review! It helps get the book surfaces in the amazon system.
and let me know what buildings you want to color next!
Boston has so much great brutalism (sorry, Heroic Concrete) and the lazy consensus opinion people there have is that it's all some hideous betrayal of their cutesy colonial origins. You have to be willing to take a lot of shit to stan brutalism in Boston.
Bogdanovic by Bogdanovic: Yugoslav Memorials through the Eyes of their Architect Hardcover is on deal on Amazon right now.
Yes, we even do have a "reinforced concrete I love you" book:
Ok I found more info.
First, I found out what happened in the end of the article. It’s crazy.
Second, I discovered the author, John Falk is dead. Awesome life and fucking brutal death.

Last, he wrote a memoir that’s on Amazon that I’m looking forward to reading.
Hello to All That: A Memoir of Zoloft, War, and Peace https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0312425635/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EL.6Cb8C0YQY9
Still can’t find that fucking article though. Both him and Details being dead likely explains some of that.
