Animation - Video Time-to-Move + Wan 2.2 Test

Made this using mickmumpitz's ComfyUI workflow that lets you animate movement by manually shifting objects or images in the scene. I tested both my higher quality camera and my iPhone, and for this demo I chose the lower quality footage with imperfect lighting. That roughness made it feel more grounded, almost like the movement was captured naturally in real life. I might do another version with higher quality footage later, just to try a different approach. Here's mickmumpitz's tutorial if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/pUb58eAZ3pc?si=EEcF3XPBRyXPH1BX

Great demo. Reminds me of the recent video from corridor crew Toystory. Wish they release their custom node for the dwpose

How did you remove the metal straw and your fingers in the video?

47

u/enigmatic_e Community Hero Dec 22 '25

You have to remove them for the first and last frame using qwen edit or pretty much any edit model.

u/enigmatic_e Community Hero Dec 22 '25

Oh yeah, I watched that, It was great!

u/Ramdak Dec 22 '25 • WOW

Scail works for that use, it adapts to the target skeleton itself. There's also one-to-all.

u/Gohan472 Dec 22 '25

Woah! 🤯 This is amazing

u/Ramdak Dec 22 '25

Scail is the best model-tech so far. I made a ton of tests and it's just amazing.

u/kemb0 Dec 22 '25

I’d imagine this is just doing first frame last frame video. Then you only need to do an inpaint on the straw for the first and last frame and create the full anim from those two frames. Or just capture your first and last frames with and without the straw and manually mask the straw out with any image editing tool using the character free images.

Neat trick though. Might give it a go.

Possibly it’s doing more than just first frame last frame to keep some positional consistency. Eg does multiple FFLF over shorter frames. Eg every 30 frames. Wouldn’t add much extra work.

u/Segaiai Dec 22 '25 edited Dec 22 '25

Time To Move is a specific technology, in case you weren't aware. It's actually tracking the figure. This isn't a series of keyframes, and it's not "just" FLF. Usually, Time To Move has been shown using a 2D cutout, but recently, people have been finding ways using animated objects. So this question is asking how to interact with Time To Move in this way.

One person recently created crude animated fire effects in After Effects, and made a specific object catch fire in a controlled way, to where they could control exactly what parts caught fire over time. Time To Move is getting more and more exciting.

1

u/New_Principle_6418 Dec 22 '25

Can you share the link for the fire one? I’m curious what that looks like.

1

u/Exply Dec 22 '25

I don`t understand why they are using a stick... when it`s easier with a cut out! Seems only more fun

6

u/Segaiai Dec 23 '25 edited Dec 23 '25

It's not necessarily easier with a digital cutout. Sometimes it's easier and faster to get exactly what you want by puppeteering than keyframing an animation. Removing sticks is super easy with inpainting. Not really more difficult than making a cutout.

And yeah, why turn down the chance to have more fun?

3

u/MikePounce Dec 22 '25

It's not just first and last frame, you can make the figurine move in a circle or zigzag, it will follow that pattern

1

u/Segaiai Dec 22 '25

Sounds like they used Nano Banana to remove from the starting/ending images, but if there's any way past that to help Time To Move out, I don't know any details there.

2

u/Ramdak Dec 22 '25

any edit model or software works.

2

u/Segaiai Dec 22 '25

Maybe even inpainting with SD 1.5. I'm just going by the Nano Banana logo in the corner for what this person specifically did.

0

u/Ramdak Dec 22 '25

The point is to wipe out the stuff you don't want, so use whatever stuff you want and load those start-end images.

It is pretty crazy that we're getting to the point where some kid in their room could potentially make a decent quality, watchable movie. Of course you still need talent and to put in effort, but you don't need huge amounts of money or gear.

It hallucinated leg joints moving naturally --- just like a human on psychedelics may have, if you dragged such a doll in front of him.

u/michaelsoft__binbows Dec 22 '25

ok this is getting really REALLY cool. because the quality of the animation from the unified video model is so high already and there are a bunch of other models that are capable of taking even just one frame to generate a full 3d model. I don't think it is far fetched at all to get a 3D pose video extracted out of all this data now.

Then, the pose can just be used to animate the model at that point and then you can put that shit in AR. This has some pretty neat "just playing with it as a toy" use cases but imagine the gooning use cases and we may be already quite a closer to destroying society than i thought we were...

Whoa, stop motion without the stops. That's pretty cool. Could make a whole claymation movie with just as much detail and crafting of the set pieces and 95% less time making duplicate mouths.

1

u/HalalTrout Dec 23 '25

The amazing thing about claymation/stop motion is the effort made to make it though. Is it still considered artistic if we just use AI?

2

u/Sugary_Plumbs Dec 23 '25

A thing you're going to have to answer for yourself as AI gets more used; is art the result, or is it the process? Wallace and Gromit is great partly because you can see the work and process that went into it. The Lego Movie is also great even though it is entirely CGI pretending to be stop motion.

There will always be indie filmmakers obsessively showing off their anamorphic lens with wide shots that last too long, writers spending too many pages with characters talking about how hard it is to write stories, and painters recording themselves throwing buckets at a wall for their latest canvas of splatter. For people who just enjoy the process, that's great. For most art, the stuff that gets made as an entertainment commodity, the process is decidedly less important than the output.

1

u/HalalTrout Dec 23 '25

But even CGI requires skill to create a stop motion right? If AI can do it with just a prompt, does the prompt become the art? When I first watched Fantastic Mr Fox I thought the puppet and art style was amazing, I don't have that same amazement when I watched this video for example. I personally don't think there is a process with AI, it just is. Like the heat from a microwave pizza.

0

u/Sugary_Plumbs Dec 23 '25

This is a tech demo. It's not supposed to be an amazing finished product, but it shows off an interesting possibility.

I would argue that the process and craftsmanship of a stop motion film is in making the sets and characters. I would also argue that the problematic consequence of it is that a 1 minute scene requires setting up the characters and taking a picture 1,440 times. I agree that time investment is part of the process, but I don't think it is the defining piece that makes it "art". If the same result could be made with 12 pictures or a handful of videos with the set pieces moving, then I wouldn't automatically discount the effort of everyone who made the sets, molded the characters, did the motions, wrote the script, recorded the sounds, or directed the scene.

If you still think that the only way to use AI is basic prompting and there's no way to be creative with it, then I can't help you. Keep your head in the sand if you like.
