Ok - I am sooooo excited. Just saw the new update on Vidu Q3 Available on Galaxy! So if you use Galaxy, you can now do Sakuga This is the prompt I used: "Epic explosive sword fight, intense camera moves, explosive moves, anime, sakuga style, intense." If you use Galaxy, try using my image, or the one by @Rina Waithera , or one of your own, and go to: 1. AI Video Generator 2. Select Image to Video 3. Click on the model, and search for "Vidu", and select Vidu Q3 4. Use a prompt that asks for intense sakuga style animation This is the prompt I used: "Epic explosive sword fight, intense camera moves, explosive moves, anime, sakuga style, intense." NOTE: It is relatively "expensive", it costs around 1.28M Credits for 8 sec in Galaxy ($1.28 USD) And directly in Vidu.com it appears to be a tiny bit cheaper... at $1.13 USD for 8 sec animation.

AI Directing and Producing is a money making skill. And in the past... @Richard Duszczak asked how much would I charge for animating. Business Skills help you make even more money if you know your customer, and your competition. Case in point: I just got offered $300 usd to create a YouTube video promoting a tool that apparently helps create animations with a beautiful pipeline that allows you to create storyboard panels, then put your scenes together. I instead offered a counter offer with massive value, and now, they are willing to pay 10X+ more than what they originally mentioned. I ofered a package for $3,200, and they agreed. Now, I am still not 100% sure if I am going to help them launch this new AI Platform because I first need to use it and have to love it to recommend it to my students. But in general, I would like to know if anyone is interested in learning business to charge more for your work, and positioning your offer in a way that the prospect customer gets excited to pay more.

I eagerly await Mark's tutorial on smooth background consistency. But while waiting, I did an interesting little experiment and was extremely happy with the result. I created a wooded background with a small road. Then I placed a couple characters in the road and had them walk. I was really impressed at how they seamlessly moved through the initially fixed environment.

Here is my final short comic video, 1 minute 10 seconds. My hope is that for subsequent parts of this class I can work on the first scene or few scenes of what will ultimately be a longer work, probably about 15 minutes when done. I'm sure I won't finish it in 10 more weeks; it's probably a much bigger task. But I do hope to apply the skills I've learned so far.

Hi! Right now I have everything I need to start prompting 40 panels for the frames I will use in animation. And as I have been experimenting, I found a pattern on my prompts, and instead of creating a Prompt for you to copy paste, and adjust, I am creating a little online software (with the help of AI) where you can visually click on stuff to make your choices easier, just like the Prompt Tool (if you haven't used it, you can test it for free). But this one will allow you to have multiple characters, and apply my framework of using a characters + background + annotation → cool frame. And to make my life easier I am programing this tool to help me prompt much faster, with less work, and be able to enjoy myself more while prompting and creating all the 40 frames I need to animate. If you are in the AI Animation Masterclass, you will be able to access this tool once I have it fully tested and working.
