Had to share this one in Wins. 🤯 One of my new AI music projects, Rovan Sigurd, went from zero to 181,000 Facebook followers within the first 20 hours. I posted around 5 p.m. and checked again when I woke up at 7 a.m. Instagram was already at roughly 61,000 followers. I was honestly blown away. The project is modern Viking music with two consistent characters, original songs, and cinematic performance videos. The concert clip below is the one that took off. Eight days after its September 3 release, it shows over 31 million views across Instagram and Facebook. ⚔️🔥 As of September 11, the artist pages are at approximately: • Facebook: 194,000 followers • Instagram: 80,900 followers • YouTube: 5,770 subscribers • TikTok: 2,928 followers The animation skills behind this are the same ones I teach inside the Academy. As you work through different tutorials, you learn how to prepare reference images, keep characters consistent, direct movement and camera shots, and understand how different generators respond. Each finished project gives you more experience to draw on. You start recognizing what to change when a shot isn’t working and how to take an idea in your own direction. That’s how I applied those skills to this music project. Prompts are a useful starting point. Understanding the process is what helps you adapt them and create something of your own. That’s what I want you to build as you work through the Academy tutorials. 🙌 🎧 Listen to the full ten-track album, The Names We Carry, on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1SZ6L0QdMPvRxxbbGpu2X9 Here’s the clip that took off. What stands out to you most—the song, the characters, or the concert setting?

Happy Friday, everyone. Here's a fun one to end the week, because let's be honest, nobody scrolls past a kitten the size of a fingertip. This is one of the quickest, easiest builds in the Academy.
