Example Videos

• Beat-Matching
  1st row: generated dance sequences, 2nd row: music beats, 3rd row: kinematics beats

• Multimodality
  Generate various dance sequences with the same music and the same initial pose.

• Long-Term Generation
  Seamlessly generate a dance sequence with arbitrary length.

• Photo-Realisitc Videos
  Map generated dance sequences to photo-realistic videos.

Train Decomposition

python train_decomp.py --name Decomp

Train Composition

python train_comp.py --name Decomp --decomp_snapshot DECOMP_SNAPSHOT

Demo

python demo.py --decomp_snapshot DECOMP_SNAPSHOT --comp_snapshot COMP_SNAPSHOT --aud_path AUD_PATH --out_file OUT_FILE --out_dir OUT_DIR --thr THR

• Flags

  • aud_path: input .wav file
  • out_file: location of output .mp4 file
  • out_dir: directory of output frames
  • thr: threshold based on motion magnitude
  • modulate: whether to do beat warping

• Example

python demo.py -decomp_snapshot snapshot/Stage1.ckpt --comp_snapshot snapshot/Stage2.ckpt --aud_path demo/demo.wav --out_file demo/out.mp4 --out_dir demo/out_frame
