You are invited to the grand opening of the Beautiful Ballroom.

My latest AI experiment has gone viral reaching millions in less than 24 hours. The inspiration was the announcement by the White House of a new $200 million ballroom with renders that looked a lot like Versailles. Having just visited the palace on vacation and being somewhat disgusted with the level of opulence on display, I had the insight that this new ballroom could become a future museum like Versailles to show what happened in this era.

I didn’t have a script but made it as I went and felt the karmic action and reaction would work well visually. More insights and powerful images came as I worked on it.

I made the stills using Freepik and Sora. Used primarily Kling AI for video and sfx, last shot was with Veo 3. More sound design from ElevenLabs and the music is synced to Masquerade (Suite): 1. Waltz Khachaturian, London symphony orchestra.
