MWGIC Episode 000126: The Celestial Ring

Dan tries his hand at making an AI-generated video - on a platform he's never seen until five minutes before making this video. Grand concepts. High hopes...literally high up in the sky hopes. How does it go? What's the grand idea? Will it blow your mind, will it bore your mind, or will it do both in some spasmodic ensemble of limit-defying geek wizardry? The concept is literally out of this world, but will the video actually fly?  

You be the judge.
