So I took a bit of a deep dive into the world of animé recently and it's been fun. 1st I will share what I am working on in Seedance with Prompts that I am trying tot figure out, not quite there... almost. And playing around with Midjourney as well. Then I created 2 profiles on Japanese sites, not that easy. LOL https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/127244807 https://xfolio.jp/en/portfolio/studioofworlds#

A time was had!

This all started June 16th 2025, it is funny to think on how much difference a year can make, I knew nothing of AI a year ago, I have not taken a day off since. I do not exaggerate, now one day, I hope to create full films just like this intro (hopefully better). I still have much to learn. Crystal is still a very important character central to this story but I wanted a shorter name and Magma Lad is the main character. Very happy with Mag's flaming hair, the environment and the logo treatment. It is all rendered in Kling 3.0 in 4K. 60 credits per 10 seconds. I learned it is essential to create your environments separately and then insert/assimilate your characters into your scene with Nano Banana Pro, it is how I got my starting frame. Then I used Nano to create my logo and used Kling to animate it. Eleven Labs made me a 20 second music track and all the SFX were made in Kling. Popped it all into After Effects and done.

It was really scary first (really really bad results at first) but then it finally had an AHA moment and I got way more than I expected. I like this new pipeline a lot, it forces you to be very clear in what you are trying to achieve.

Woohoo! Tomorrow will be the shot list, ARCs (ARC = Architecture Reference Codex = settings) and start making al the starting frames. so I have dsicovered 3 seconds seems to be pretty optimal. In "And the Winner is..." it was basically (20) 3 second shots and done. A lot of work but worth it. I would like to play with different lengths (possibly) Not sure yet. This will be 2 minutes 35 secs. Good night!!
