When Nonno has had just about enough of everything and everyone 😅🇮🇹🍦 A quick render from Act One of my WIP animated feature, "Code Name: G.E.L.A.T.O," made with the aid of Seedance 2.0, exclusively on @mitte_ai and upscaled to 4K via @topazlabs. Some tips from my process 👇

@Dheepanratnam Beautifully done! Great writing, also 👏

Definitely! Thanks, Emm. Will start with mini a little later today and see how we go! 🙏 P.s. any plans to allow @ tags to recall your reference images in Seedance as a “selection”? I’ve been making it work by simply typing out the tags, but would be handy to choose from my range of references after hitting the @ key! 🙏

@JamesSismanes @Scenario_gg Try Seedance mini! Even better

What's better than Seedance 2.0? Seedance 2.0 in 4K. Create videos with even more detail, now on Scenario.

@mitte_ai Can’t wait to try/see how this impacts my workflow. Thanks, team! 🙏

Filmmakers, this is the one you've been waiting for 🥁 Seedance 2 Mini is live on Mitte. Generate 2 times faster. Pay 2 times less. Here's how 👇🏼

@jcbstwsk Thanks! I’d say it looks much closer to the Illumination animation style than Pixar. Per the OP, further editing works to come at a later stage (inc. relighting and recoloring).

@JamesSismanes Why does it just look like Pixar? You can do so much now with lighting and texture

Today, I'm proud to share the first cut of my opening prologue, from my WIP animated feature: 𝙲𝚘𝚍𝚎 𝙽𝚊𝚖𝚎: 𝙶.𝙴.𝙻.𝙰.𝚃.𝙾. The logline reads as follows: "When a young boy discovers that his beloved gelato truck-driving grandfather is actually a retired intergalactic spy, he's suddenly thrust into the mission of a lifetime — rescuing his kidnapped parents from the galaxy's most dangerous villain, armed with nothing but a converted gelato truck, a rogue alien with a vendetta, and every lesson his grandfather ever taught him between scoops." Crafted with care using the following hybrid creative tools: 🍦 Concept inspired by my 90-year-old gelato-selling grandfather ✍️ Original screenplay written by [human] me via @finaldraftinc 🖼️ Image Generations via @OpenAI's GPT Image 2 🤖 Video Generations via Seedance 2.0. on @Scenario_gg and @mitte_ai 🎶 Music Composed via @TrebloApp 📼 Sequencing and editing via @Wondershare @Filmora_Editor 📹 Upscaled to 4K via @topazlabs 📂 File storage and asset management via @Dropbox Further works to be completed: 🎹 Soundtrack re-score via @FL_Studio 📺 Pacing, coloring and video editing 🇮🇹 Bonus points if you can translate the song lyrics and identify the symbolism 😉 Here's a quick look at the nuances of my workflow 👇

@ZenithAiLab Appreciate it, Zenith! 🤝🙏🫶🍦

@JamesSismanes Gelato truck + intergalactic spy = instant classic premise 🍦🚀 90-year-old grandpa as inspo plus that hybrid tool stack? You’re cooking.

@david_linski Take your time and work scene-by-scene, in 15-second increments. Fall in love with the process and obsess over lifting your words from the page. Most importantly? Assets! Build out your resources and stay faithful to your source material. Good luck!

@JamesSismanes Writer here also, and I’m currently doing exactly the same thing, turning my finished screenplay into a feature animation. Overwhelming at times. Really great to see your workflow.

@david_linski I appreciate it, David. Thank you 🙏🤝

@JamesSismanes Really fantastic mate. Cant wait to see more 👏

@Korgamiai Perfection, Joseph! Great job 👏

@JamesSismanes Amazing and thanks for sharing the process 🙏🏼

An entirely new network is forming: The AI Filmmaker network. We're not going to film school and meeting our collaborators anymore, cause film school is a scam and they hate AI for the most part. These days, we go online and find the artists we like; we click like, we drop a comment, and give them a follow. And then sometimes we end up in a group chat, start talking, sharing works in progress, and then before you know it, we're collaborating. This is the new film school. X is the new film school. Instagram is the new film school, and it's up to us to be proactive, honest, and open. This is exactly how Eric (@gen_ericai) and I ended up collaborating on his incredible short film, 'All One'. We clicked, connected, and collabed. I say this to encourage you. We don't need expensive institutions to teach us, connect us, and empower us anymore. We just need to want it, and then go get it.

@DiscussingFilm Okay, now THIS is what I’m talking about! 🔥🦇

The Little Penguin's First Slide Created with HappyHorse 1.1 on @budgetpixel 15-Second Pixar-Style Video Prompt Style: Pixar-inspired animated short film, heartwarming and playful atmosphere, ultra-detailed 3D animation, expressive facial expressions, realistic snow physics, soft cinematic lighting, vibrant icy blue tones, smooth camera movements, shallow depth of field, high-quality rendering, 4K. Character Consistency:Use the same baby penguin throughout the entire video**: small and fluffy, black-and-white feathers, round body, bright blue eyes, tiny orange beak, short wings, and an adorable expressive face. Maintain identical appearance in every shot. The same penguin family appears throughout: two adult penguins and two young siblings with cheerful expressions. 0–5 Seconds A breathtaking Antarctic landscape on a bright winter morning. A fluffy baby penguin stands nervously at the top of a gently sloping icy hill. He peeks over the edge, shuffles his tiny feet, gulps, and flaps his little wings for courage. At the bottom of the hill, his smiling family watches supportively. Soft sunlight sparkles on the snow as delicate snowflakes drift in the breeze. Cinematic medium shot with a slow push-in toward the baby penguin. 5–10 Seconds The baby penguin suddenly loses balance and slips forward. He tumbles, spins, and slides down the icy hill, closing his eyes tightly in panic while flapping his tiny wings wildly. Powdery snow sprays behind him as the camera smoothly tracks alongside, capturing his funny expressions and playful movements. 10–15 Seconds He gently glides to a stop beside his laughing family. Slowly opening one eye, he realizes he made it safely. His parents cheer proudly, his siblings hop excitedly, and the baby penguin spreads his tiny wings with a big proud smile. Warm sunlight illuminates the snowy landscape while sparkling snowflakes drift around them. The camera slowly pulls back to reveal the happy family together. Subtitle appears during the final 2 seconds and remains until the end: Every little slide is the start of a big adventure.

@KanaWorks_AI @capcutapp_jp Freaking awesome. Good luck!

@Abmankendrick So clever! Don’t often see this level of abstract creativity on homepages anymore (things simplified once smart device responsiveness was more important). But I still appreciate great web design 👏

Coolest footer section animation I’ve ever seen on a website. Absolutely crazy 🤯
