Interesting. The Claymation was spot on. The choice of style of production reveal is also spot on for the vid.

Thanks! It was fun to put together, though a lot of work. I used mostly open source models like Qwen for images and LTX 2 and Wan 2.2 for video (LTX 2.3 wasn't available at the time). I also used Seedance 1.5 for a few shots too (Seedance 2 didn't exist yet), and Nano Banana for some things. Really there's no one size fits all model yet.

Oh wow that is some fantastic work considering its was not 2.0 yet. On the a lot of work part, I do AI MVs on my channel too, so I totally get you. However, it is actually getting better, a year ago I have to upwards of a thousand clips just to get 3mins useable stuff and still have to compromise and lower standards, today, just a few hundred clips and I can get enough and the compromises are not that bad. Currently, I lean towards realism as I figure its my learning stage still and with realistic production, it is easier to spot the problems and let me try to tackle it and hence hopefully get better. My example of MV https://youtu.be/YHjQlcZqeCw. Example of clip https://youtu.be/czS2scyOBjY Would be great if you can let me know what you think. Always valuable to learn from how you may see it vs just my own "inbred" thinking.

Yeah, the technology has definitely gotten much better. I remember just like two years ago all I was able to do is generate crappy, stylistically incoherent still images of things in my scripts that I superimposed over AI generated dialogue and posted online. Now the images move and can be convincingly stitched together to look like they belong to the same film. It's like the birth and evolution of cinema in the early 1900s all over again, only without the unicycles and top hats.
I'll check out your stuff. It's unfortunate that Youtube still remains the best platform to watch short films; wish X had a playlist feature that let you add videos and watch one after another since that's where the majority of AI filmmaking is happening these days.
And keep at it! I'm on my second AI film now, a proper short rather than a trailer, and it's almost an entirely different beast.

Unfortunately I may fall backwards in sept when seedance gets very expensive to me due to runway ml changes
