"Chronicles of Darius" I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons and one of my favorites was the short-lived Dungeons & Dragons animated series. I always wanted to create something in that style, but never had the time or resources to do it. Last night, using Runway (with Kling 3.0 multi-shot and keyframes, and Nano Banana Pro), Midjourney, and Suno, I created this scene as a test for a fictional 80s fantasy series. Edited in DaVinci Resolve. I never thought this would be possible, yet here we are. There are still some rough edges, but this was just one evening. Runway's clean UI makes working on these projects a lot of fun.

This is incredible! Thanks so much for sharing. It's great for creators, and even those just curious, to see what is really involved in a professional production built using generative tools. Reading through the voice-over section: I know this episode didn't require as much lip-sync, but do you generally use ElevenLabs voice changer for lip-sync, when needed?

Junkyard King - Ep. 0 | MAKING OF ⚙️ HERE’S HOW I MADE THIS, STEP BY STEP 🧵👇 1/14

If you're interested in learning a professional workflow for generative AI film production and animation, this is as good as it gets.

@henrydaubrez This is incredible work! Very well written and one of the highest-quality animated short episodes I've seen to date. 👏

⚡️🌸 JUNKYARD KING Episode 0 ⚔️ Studio quality is getting closer than people think...

@Framer_X Very nice! Grok is really catching up. With all the SD 2 delays, Grok's steady improvements are making it one of the top models for animation.

I ran 50+ tests on Grok’s new ref images feature 🤯 And honestly... I was surprised by the results. 10 wild examples + prompts below 👇

@PeterDiamandis We're reaching an inflection point very rapidly. The assessment model in our schools needs to gradually shift from measuring outputs to measuring inputs.

To High School Administrators: if you are not actively pivoting your school’s curriculum towards “AI-first” and helping kids develop as entrepreneurs rather then employees, you’re doing them a major disservice. The social contract is vaporizing.

@freekmurze Ghostty is great!

I really like the fact that I can now just use command+V instead of ctrl+V to past image into Claude Code

@icreatelife @zeng_wt @Framer_X Such a beautiful and emotional piece! 😊 Wonderful workflow as well. Thanks so much for sharing.

I did a tiny animation collaboration with my friend @Framer_X He made a part till the door opens and my part is what's behind the door. Been missing my Grandma recently, so felt inspired to make this with AI. Feeling really good after creating this. Enjoy! My workflow:

@IanLandsman There was probably a meeting of managers to discuss naming options and the rule was “anything that doesn’t rhyme with or sound like Claude.” They took it a bit too far.

No idea is this is any good but calling it Personal Computer should get someone fired asap

@jeffrey_way I've been testing a few design workflows with Claude, but nothing is perfect. Eager to watch this tonight.

@dustinhollywood That’s great news. 🙏 Get some rest and you’ll be back in the flow before you know it. Be sure to get some good sleep for the next few weeks.

I’m resting but I wanted to let everyone know I’m doing better.. I just saw all your comments, they really meant a lot to me, thank you all of you ❤️ I’ll reply to them all when I can, but wanted you guys to know I’m ok. My EKG was better in the ER, but I do have Bronchitis, just glad it’s not something worse. Was scary there for a sec though, thank you guys for the good vibes you sent me I like to think it helped. I’m gonna take it easy the next few days, so bare with me and the team while we replan for @stages_ai rollout, pushing back a few days🙏 nothing is more important than health and family, but have no doubt it’s imminent 😉 G’nite 👾💤

@IXITimmyIXI Wow! That’s really good. Imagine we had these tools when we were kids. 🤯

The best online gaming experience I've had so far this year came from Runway. Anyone else played through The Vanishing Gnome? This feels like it could be game changing for the Dungeons and Dragons community 🤔

@dustinhollywood So sorry to hear this. 🙏 Get some rest and best wishes for a quick and smooth recovery.

Not good results. My EKG was not normal. I’m having to go to emergency room.. 😞

@zoltanszogyenyi Very nice! I already lost track of all the git repos I use to manage the plethora of small static sites I published over the years. One folder would be so nice!

now here's a cool AI usecase: i have 25 projects vibecoded in nextjs and i want to deploy them all via vercel so instead of creating 25 github repos i keep them in one monorepo and used ai to create a local script using the Vercel cli to bulk deploy them all used codex 5.3

@AleRVG Very exciting time for creators.

@RichKleinAI Absolutely, technical execution has been replaced by creative concept... something that undoubtedly benefits me 😅

Upgraded Instincts 🦣 Every generation thinks it's teaching the world. In reality, it's just witnessing the world rewrite its alphabet. 🧵How it made with Seedance 2

@IanLandsman This sounds interesting. How are you coordinating the teams?

I finally got a system to setup where I can run the AI in dangerous mode. It makes using Counselors even better. Re-did my groups because of it, have a new 'a-team' group that's just Opus and 5.4 when I want fast and good. A design team with Opus and Gemini, and the big team with all 4 for deeper analysis.

@Framer_X These are great tips and examples! The filler, insert, and establishing shots make a huge difference. It goes back to the core technique of "show, don't tell" in storytelling.

Most AI animations look “cheap” 👀 For one reason: no filler shots. Small cinematic moments that create atmosphere. Check these 10 anime-style filler shots below👇

@IanLandsman @aarondfrancis “Skills to pay the bills.” Wasn’t that from the 90s. 😀

Using @aarondfrancis Finalize skill from faster.dev to great effect today. Another banger! (Aaron the number of skills in there is already a bit nuts though 😅)

@RikkiAje__ @Runway Hi. Gen 4.5 is available on the Runway website and mobile app.

@RichKleinAI @Runway how do we get runway gen 4.5?

"Koi in the Pond" A quick anime test using @Runway Gen 4.5 text-to-video. ☺️ This is two clips and some added audio (Gen 4.5 integrated audio is coming soon! 🔥) Prompt is included below if you want to try for yourself.

@zoltanszogyenyi This is great! 👍

typeui.sh is 1000x better than frontend-skills because it fixes the “taste” problem in AI
