I am using characters that were previously designed by an artist for my channel. I want to see how closely AI can replicate them in the animation because they are established characters already.

Here's a PDF of the script for my project.

Story idea for made-for-kids short/vertical video

Funtime Happy Camp Counselor, Dewey, discovers a large egg in a rocky nest. As he ponders what kind of egg it could be, a T-Rex approaches him from behind. Unaware, Dewey takes a couple comical guesses as to what could be in the egg, then finally asks the audience what they think could be in the egg. Now standing directly behind him, the T-Rex roars, and Dewey is startled. He acknowledges the dinosaur, relieved to know the answer. After a beat, it hits him that he's standing next to a T-Rex and he frantically dashes away. The T-Rex smiles and waves at the camera.

I have spent several months working with ChatGPT and it knows my different characters and the worlds they inhabit. My main goal with this class is to determine if I can create videos in my style, quickly, that I would be proud to post on my channel. So I wanted to set this first project within one of the worlds I have established, "Funtime Happy Camp", with one of my established characters, surfer dude counselor, Dewey. MY PROMPT: What about something with a dino egg. Maybe Dewey comes across a rocky nest and sees a big egg in it. He gets close, wonders aloud what could be in there? He considers one or two funny options. Meanwhile, behind him, a mama T-Rex is approaching, Dewey doesn't see it, but the audience does. Finally, Dewey asks the audience, "What do YOU think is in this egg?" The T-Rex roars, Dewey is surprised and looks at it. He realizes, calmly - "OH! It's a T-Rex egg." There's a beat where they're looking at each other, then fear sets in as Dewey realizes he's in danger. "Whoa! A T-REX!" He runs off, the T-rex looks at camera and smiles. What do you think, too complicated? GPT’S RESPONSE: That’s not too complicated at all—it's actually perfect for a one-day “AI mini” because it’s basically a classic 3-beat visual gag: 1. Curiosity (egg) 2. Dramatic irony (audience sees mom T-Rex, Dewey doesn’t) 3. Punchline / button (calm realization → panic → T-Rex smile) And it only needs one speaking character (Dewey) plus one silent dino. Keep it simple by designing it as “5 shots, one background” You can do this with minimal animation if you lean on: - camera pushes - quick cuts - pose swaps (surprised / calm / panic) - SFX (footsteps, rumble, tiny egg creak, big roar) - one big face reaction from the T-Rex at the end A tight 20–25 second vertical beat sheet Setting: rocky nest / forest clearing (single background) Shot 1 (2–3s): Dewey enters frame, spots nest/egg - Dewey (low voice): “Duuuude… what is that?” - (Tiny “mystery sparkle” SFX)
