Miss Mako, a creative trans women, has made a lot of TG movies over the years, and now she is experimenting with AI.
These are short scenes only. She is clearly testing out the possibilities AI can bring. I guess that in a year or two we will see some real masterpieces of MTF transformations.
These are 18+ YouTube videos, so I cannot embed them here.
Back in 1971 the British production company Hammer Film Production presented another Gothic horror movie: Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde. It was based on the 1886 story The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.
(The movie should not be confused with the 1995 comedy Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde).
The Hammer movies has never been considered high art by any means, but the effective use of clichés (amazing Victorian characters and sets, to name one) and clever filming and editing continue to be fun to watch. The company is still around.
Dr. Jekyll is looking for an elixir of life and realizes that giving flies female hormones make them live longer. They also turn males into females.
Planning to use himself as a human test subject Dr. Jekyll has to get hold of bodies of women to get access to said hormones, and while he starts out buying corpses provided by grave robbers it all soon escalates into murders of the Jack the Ripper kind.
Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde does have some crossdreamer qualities. The first transformation scene is clearly an erotic one, and much more explicit than the clip below may indicate. The movie also makes use of a trope from TG fiction, where the female personality - sexy, alluring and obsessive - threatens to take over completely.
All in all it is not a bad movie, as far as B movies go. Do not expect realism, though. It takes only 30 seconds from the doctor drinks a glass of female hormones until "Sister Hyde" takes over. We wish!
Timothy Morton has made an independent movie starring Ella Jordan and Jimmy Kustes, called Body Swap.
As is often the case with such movies the plot is there to explore gender differences and how men and women can learn to better understand each other.
It is not made by a crossdreamer.
I see that it is found on Amazon, Tubi and Plex in some areas.
Swap Me Baby (2022)
This is one seriously trippy movie, and not only because one of the main characters is using magic mushrooms.
Lily, business woman and control freak, ends up in bed with Philippe, a French mushroom tripping gigolo. So they get pregnant. Their therapist recommends a trip to a cabin in the woods, introducing them to a magic box that... you know, does magic. Hence the body swap.
I do not know what to make of the film. First and foremost it is some kind of crazy romantic comedy. But it has some serious undertones as well.
I also made note of the fact that whoever made this film is a sucker for body swap movies in general. There is even a reference to the original Freaky Friday movie.
This is not a crossdreamer movie, either, but it is a lot of fun.
AIs like Dall-E, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney makes it possible to create close to photorealistic images of people.
The better you are at describing the image you want to see, the closer the image is to your inner vision of what you'd like to see.
This means that it is now possible to generate an image of your inner dream girl for free or for a relatively low price.
I have been testing out Midjourney version 5 for a day or so, and is impressed with the results. Midjourney can now produce images that are nearly photorealistic, or – if you prefer – art inspired paintings and drawings.
It is possible to make images where people change gender, although you have to work a bit harder to make that work.
Monika: Your YouTube vlog attracted almost 150 thousand subscribers. What inspired you to create the Miss Mako persona?
Erika: Oh, that’s a story from a long long time ago. When I was little and suffering from gender dysphoria… I was transfixed by fantasy stories of men transforming into women.I used to write stories and draw comics of this when I was a little kid and kept doing it when I became a teenager. It was when the internet came around in the mid-1990s that I found a website called The Transformation Graphics & Story Archive. It was the first time I found similar people like myself doing some of the same stories and art. To not use my real name at the time I picked the handle of MAKO (after my love of sharks).
Everyone had a handle then. I started to gain a bit of an underground following. I was pushing myself to do these stories in different mediums. So I started to do my own animated shorts. Comics. Live-action shorts culminating in a live-action feature called, “Paradox Alice”. I was asked to start my own YouTube Channel and I did so in 2006. I also started to do my own Vlogs and you can see me pre and post-transition on those.
Over the years… more and more people followed me. And many suffering from gender dysphoria from around the world and sharing their stories with me. I changed my handle to MISS MAKO after I transitioned. I don’t nearly post much on the channel anymore. As again… I’m trying to have a better balance of being able to enjoy life as much as I can now.
Miss Mako is using her experience from making MTF transformation movies to editing Disney movies!
