“You live in a limitless reality. Whatever boundary you construct is a lingering self-created thought. There is a paradise beyond.”
― Vladimir Hlocky, Journeys Beyond Earth
Such a journey, as in the above quote can take place in an elevator, as for example Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator:
“A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men,” Mr. Wonka said.”
― Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
So the other day I took the elevator at my apartment building to the ground floor. I must have pushed the wrong button because where it took me is hard to describe. I decided to take a selfie to commemorate the moment.
This is a crop from the actual photo below, formatted to fit my video further down.
Actually, a Deep Dream creation, using my own style template of a old psychedelic drawing
And here is the video I made from this image:
Created in Deep Dream from a Selfie taken in the Elevator of my apartment building, further enhanced in Photoshop, adding the original Deep Dream Style Element, which is from my old psychedelic drawing, digitally mirrored, as a background. Past the end credits I used further Photoshop filters on a detail from the original photo.
Sound effects by Frederick J. Benjamin on Pixabay additional sound dubbing by myself.

There are several other images I created in Photoshop from the original selfie, which I added past the credits in the video to accommodate the links for 2 other of my videos on the end screen.

Here are some production frames where the Deep Dream images were used:

And here is the Deep Dream Style image, which was derived from mirroring a old psychedelic drawing of mine from the Seventies:
