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. https://youtu.be/jyxR5aDvj0g?si=NcJEVtmtmsJnIzOl

Valentine is approaching and thought it would be an amazing idea to have a video related to it, and I believe that could help bring traffic as it is related to the season and relatable, cant wait how the final video will look like!!

Some resolution issues I hope to solve with Topaz. Ran out of "fix it" time before the class today. Will look for suggestions from Mark. Comments welcome.

Full animated scene done in only 8 hours. From: - Coming up with a story idea - To Designing Characters - Writing a little Script - Planning the Shots - Creating each Panel - Producing Audio (Voice Acting, Music & SFX) - Animating each Panel - Putting it all together All characters are original, and you can see that the Detective is very handsome (looking like meeee haa!) All of this will be explained in Week 2 of the new training. Join AI Animation Masterclass Today. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT to those enrolled in AI Animation Masterclass: I am working on the lessons. Instead of posting all lessons, I decided to start from scratch and instead of just theory of how to animate, I decided to produce a high end animation in 1 day, and then explain step by step with this as example teaching you how you can do the same with your own stories. Lessons for Week 2 will be released tomorrow. Exciting new lessons coming!
