A mix of tools - Cartoon Animator, AI, Photoshop, Logic Pro, etc.

Sorry to miss yesterday's class/discussion. Friday afternoons are always crunch time for me, I'm always finishing up my next video. But I did want to share my latest.

The animation isn't done with AI (I am still proudly using Cartoon Animator!), and the characters were designed and rigged by artists, but I did use AI to create most of the backgrounds/scenes in this one. (A few backgrounds from real artist - the side view of the dock, for example.) That saves me a lot of time and I'm happy with the results. I will continue to refine the look of the camp settings.

I also experimented with some AI voice generation. The main characters (Dewey, Zack, Maya, Bob, the Moose, and one of the girl campers) are performed by my daughter and me, but I used typecast(dot)ai to create the voices for the rest of the young campers in the first story. I have mixed feelings about the results, let me know what you think.
