At Creators Network, we love tackling unique challenges that push the boundaries of creativity and technology. Recently, we embarked on a fun and colourful project, imagining Deadpool celebrating Holi all around India. Here's how we did it.

The Challenge

The idea was to create visuals of Deadpool enjoying the vibrant festival of Holi in India. However, there were a few challenges:

1. Copyright Restrictions: We asked ChatGPT to create a visual of Deadpool celebrating Holi in Varanasi. ChatGPT responded, “I can’t create images of copyrighted characters, but how about a group of masked heroes, resembling the Avengers, celebrating Holi at a Varanasi Ghat? The scene will have warm tones of orange and yellow, with Hindu sadhus and locals enjoying the festivities in the background, capturing the vibrant atmosphere.
2. Cultural Accuracy: The visuals had to respect and accurately depict the essence of Holi without hurting the sentiments of people.
3. Technological Hurdles: Using AI tools to generate high-quality images that matched our idea.

The Idea

Our plan was simple, to use AI tools like ChatGPT and MidJourney to generate images of Deadpool for the Holi celebration post we had in mind. We aimed to blend the chaos and joy of Holi by adding Deadpool's quirks.

The Process

1. Starting with ChatGPT: We asked ChatGPT to create the first visual. Due to copyright constraints, it suggested an image of masked heroes similar to the Avengers celebrating Holi at a Varanasi Ghat. This was not quite the idea we were envisioning and we had to switch to another tool to get the results we wanted.

2. Switching to MidJourney: We then moved to MidJourney, where our initial attempts produced fascinating results. The images showed Deadpool fully immersed in the colours of Holi, interacting with the locals and enjoying the festival. With Holi in March and their latest movie, Deadpool and Wolverine, up for release, we thought of adding Wolverine to the mix too.

3. Adding Wolverine: The thought of adding Wolverine was exciting, however, the results were not as impressive as we had hoped for. The character looked more like Anil Kapoor than Hugh Jackman. After several attempts, we decided to keep it simple and focus solely on Deadpool.

Trial and Error Adjustments

We faced numerous challenges and made many adjustments through trial and error to generate the perfect images that matched our creative idea. Each attempt brought us closer to capturing Deadpool's playful interaction with the vibrant festival of Holi.

The Outcome

The final images captured Deadpool enjoying Holi around India, surrounded by colors, and essence of the festival. The project was a delightful blend of creativity and technology, showcasing our ability to push creative boundaries while respecting cultural nuances.

‍Conclusion

This project is a perfect example of the kind of innovative work aim to feature in Creative Labs. It is all about experimenting with technology so we can come up with creative solutions. It showcases many more projects like this one, such as our Google Forms and Slides Automation Case Study, and another project we worked on where we imagined a world where humans and wildlife live in peace and harmony for World Earth Day.
