Hi guys, I'm working on a pilot episode of an animation I started long time ago, before there even was any good video/ image generative AI tool like the ones we have now. I drew every picture and originally the animation would be more like simple slides with very simple animation, like a very modest motion comic - The best I could do then. Now that we have tools suchs as Veo, that not only animated but gives sound to the clip, I decided to rescue this ideia and I've been working on this since then, taking every scene drew and animating then. But I'm running into an issue: I have a very particular aesthetic, specially in the way I draw eyes (only two little stick-shaped dots). I want the AI to keep my art very consistent but it always messes up with the character's faces. Bellow there's an example: 1) My static art and two animations 2) One output that did the movement I wanted but completely messed up the face 3) One that kept the face consistent but animated the character in a way I dind't wanted with too much moving, and their prompts: 2) Animated scene. Style: pop art, retro, comic art, motion comic. Medium close-up of Carmen’s face, lit by intense cyan-blue shadow and glow, halftone texture intact. Camera: eye-level, 50mm lens. Camera movement: slow push-in toward her face. Expression only: eyebrows furrowed, jaw clenched, teeth slightly gritted, eyes narrowed in anger. No dialogue, no speech, no lip movement — only facial expression. Important: lock character model sheet — keep Carmen’s face, hairstyle, and proportions identical to reference. Eyes must remain exactly as drawn: simple stylized line for pupils, no white of the eye, no redesign, no morphing. Preserve original illustration style. Duration: 8 seconds, 24fps. 3) Animated scene. Style: pop art, retro, comic art, motion comic. Medium close-up of Carmen’s face, lit by blue glow and shadow, halftone texture preserved. Camera: eye-level, 50mm lens. Camera movement: slow push-in toward her face. Expression only: she raises her eyebrows and slightly parts her lips, giving a look of surprise and doubt. No dialogue, no speech, no talking — only facial expression. Lighting: moody cyan-blue highlight against deep shadows. Atmosphere: quiet, tense, introspective. Important: lock character model sheet — maintain exact facial features, hairstyle, and proportions as reference image, no morphing, no redesign, no drift. 8 seconds, 24fps.

You can drop AUDIO file, such as .wav or .mp3, into Google AI Studio platform (different than the regular Gemini web app, because that web app isn't able to do this yet). So yea, I'm working towards the Inspiring Asia film contest, and I was able to work with Gemini on the studio app to break down my soundtrack. It can tell me: 1. overall mood/vibes 2. analyze the musical structure aka harmony/melodic arcs 3. volume dynamics 4. tempo and rhythm 5. types of instruments 6. and whatever else you need This helps with my project by helping to guide the visual pacing of the story from the music. I uploaded the soundtrack below to Gemini AI Studio Gemini 2.5 Pro and it gave me this for example: - Mood: A psychological fever dream, moving from frantic struggle to a catastrophic breakdown, and finally, a tearful release. - Story: A musical battle. Hikari's complex talent is attacked by a dark, judgmental theme (the pressure). The music is a tense, minor-key conflict that finally resolves into a soaring, major-key feeling of freedom. - Sound: Extreme dynamics map her emotional journey: from loud and frantic, to a fragile whisper, to a crushing peak, followed by total silence, and a final, a hopeful return. - Instrument: A single solo piano, which is both percussive and vulnerable, completely exposing the performer with nowhere to hide. That's just a taste of what it can do, you can basically break it down into more detailed analysis that ties into your story, so you can judge whether or not if the music "hits". So yea, give your next suno soundtrack an analysis using Gemini AI Studio app @ https://aistudio.google.com/ and use the gemini 2.5 pro model.
