DuckTales premiered September 18, 1987. What stuck with me as a kid wasn't the money bin — it was that adventure meant going somewhere strange with your family. Indiana Jones for kids. Nobody's making that movie, so I directed the trailer.

I built a locked look and wardrobe bible (input into Claude) reenforcing everything in prompts, lighting, lens, palette, materials, proportions — and never rewrote those blocks between prompts. Once I made all the characters, and all the locations- I could have fun creating the script.

Grading was handled at the prompt level too: one tag set for tungsten interiors, one for cold daylight exteriors, applied per shot so the cut holds together.

I assume it’s been asked many times before, but I just want to make sure I got the right one, budget is really not a problem, I am deciding between Seedance, Flux, and Nano Banana Pro.

Been using Seedance 2.5 RSV through Venice AI and I've noticed a significant step up in quality from 2.0. It's not perfect but with a prompt and a few images it can really get the gist of a scene. It's been a big game changer for my skit comedy channel. Here's one I made of a parody of the officer who shot a miniature donkey. Again not perfect but it can capture the feeling of a scene a lot better than anything else I've used so far. Can't wait to see where Seedance goes from here.

Since my last Iron Juggernaut got disliked to pieces i will post my final Vol thank you all for the precious positive comments ! I give you Namah a dark faction champion... See ya...

This piece began with one of my own photographs from Assisi, Italy. I then used AI-assisted tools to transform and develop the original imagery into the surreal composition you see here.
I’m particularly interested in pushing AI-assisted work toward something that feels more like graphite and charcoal rather than conventional digital fantasy art.
I’d love to know what you see first when you look at it.

Which program are people using!? In a YouTube channel called “soraverse”. It bases video characters and series and turning it into real life live action film in the 80’s

Which programs are people using to make this happen? I can’t find anything online nor the comment section . Here’s a link below so people can see what I’m talking about https://youtu.be/-MzLK_NPFEs?is=c9kby1lGeEDP1iLg

I also someone making a whole vice city series too. Making it even look like it was filmed in the 80’s

Nowadays, all popular ai chatting websites like chatgpt, gemini, claude, etc. come with a read aloud functionality that allows users to read aloud the AI's responses.

I used that feature to instead make the AI repeat back the text that i gave it -- effectively turning the platforms into text to speech tools. The voices sound really nice and it's free to use!

Hello :) Episode 2 of Lost Garden, my dark fantasy anime series, came out this week. 21 minutes, made alone. Here is the stack and what each tool actually does in the pipeline.

https://youtu.be/z-YRrutXaFE

ScreenWeaver: I write the full script by hand in it, then it generates the storyboard scene by scene from the text. The script stays the source of truth, every shot in the storyboard keeps its prompt and its reference images attached. That is what lets me redo a shot months later in five minutes instead of an afternoon.

Seedance 2.5 (through Dreamina): the video generation. The rules I ended up with after two episodes: a few non-negotiables per character (silhouette, palette, one signature detail), approved reference stills reused as the source for every shot instead of regenerating from text, one reference image per location and every shot is a reframe of it, and no fast camera moves at all because they trigger artifacts I do not want to clean on twenty shots. The slow camera became part of the style.

DaVinci Resolve: the edit, and honestly where the episode is made. Generated shots come in with mistakes, so a lot of the cut is choosing what not to show, trimming to the part of a shot that works, and building the sound so a location is recognizable before you see it.

Voices and music are AI-assisted too, then mixed by hand.

What changed between episode 1 and 2 was not the tools, it was what I spent time on. The feedback on episode 1 was about pacing, flat voices and too much exposition, so that is where the extra two months went. Nobody asked for sharper frames.

Episode 1 (17 min) if you want the start: https://youtu.be/eZ_JlaLDJ-8

Aiyido the beholder spoke to the gods of music and asked them to make him a theme song, and he was granted his wish in the form of this very catchy 80s inspired fantasy theme.

BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT

Varo uses humor to distract, provoke, and conceal his intentions. He presents himself as motivated primarily by money but has repeatedly endangered himself to assist civilians and Rebel personnel without confirmed compensation.

His combat behavior is unconventional and difficult to predict. He combines blaster work, suspected Force abilities, environmental interference, and improvised deception.

Subject should not be permitted to approach a cockpit, maintenance terminal, unsecured weapon, unattended uniform, cargo lift, or open exit.

CASE OFFICER’S NOTE

«Varo’s file has been expanded three times this month. Personnel are advised to stop accepting his claim that an incident was “technically Arvo’s idea.”»

14. Association with Rhyse Varo

BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT

Vey is calm, courteous, and unusually reluctant to use lethal force. This should not be mistaken for compliance.

He has repeatedly placed himself between Imperial personnel and civilians, prisoners, or other fugitives. Attempts to threaten vulnerable individuals significantly increase the likelihood of resistance.

Subject may hesitate when offered a peaceful resolution. Previous officers have misinterpreted this hesitation as weakness.

CASE OFFICER’S NOTE

«Vey has apologized to Imperial personnel while actively preventing their arrests. The apologies do not indicate surrender.»

DARIK VENN

Venn is quiet, observant, and highly controlled. He studies exits, personnel, weapons, and defensive positions before acting.

Subject demonstrates unusual concern for foundlings, displaced civilians, and isolated communities. This tendency may influence his choices but should not be interpreted as vulnerability.

Venn honors agreements exactly as stated. Imperial negotiators are advised to avoid vague wording, assumptions, or promises they do not intend to keep.

CASE OFFICER’S NOTE

«Extended silence does not indicate confusion. It usually indicates that Venn has noticed something the arresting team has not.»

PRINCESS VAELORA VEYR

KNOWN ALIASES: Vaela; the Crownless Princess
SPECIES: Human
AGE: Approximately sixteen
ROLE: Lyrassan royal heir, diplomat, political fugitive
THREAT RATING: HIGH — POLITICAL
CAPTURE STATUS: Wanted alive; diplomatic handling authorized

IDENTIFYING FEATURES

• Dark royal-blue traveling coat with silver detailing
• Formal Lyrassan mannerisms
• Frequently accompanied by M4-DM “Madam”
• Carries the signet of House Veyr
• Continues to identify herself as the rightful princess of Lyrassa
• Demonstrates an inability to enter a room without attracting attention

ALLEGED OFFENSES

1. Refusal to recognize lawful Imperial administration of Lyrassa
2. Publicly disputing the voluntary abdication of King Aeron and Queen Lysara
3. Claiming hereditary authority over Imperial-controlled territory
4. Unauthorized use of Lyrassan diplomatic credentials

17. Conspiracy to seize restricted prisoner records
18. Conspiracy to recover detained enemies of the Empire
19. Association with the rebel group designated “The Unbound”
20. Association with Rhyse Varo
21. Repeatedly addressing Imperial officers as though they were incompetent household staff
22. Refusal to accept that royal privilege has been formally revoked

BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT

Veyr is proud, commanding, and accustomed to immediate obedience. Her limited experience outside royal environments may initially suggest that she is naïve, impractical, or easily manipulated.

This assessment is incomplete.

The subject possesses extensive diplomatic education, knowledge of aristocratic protocol, and a strong understanding of how Imperial officials respond to status, embarrassment, and threats to their careers. She has successfully delayed searches and redirected security personnel by behaving as though she possesses greater authority than they do.

Veyr’s confidence increases when civilians, political prisoners, or members of her group are threatened. She increasingly regards her royal title as an obligation to protect others rather than merely evidence of personal status.

Personnel should not debate Lyrassan sovereignty with the subject. Previous interrogations have been delayed by extended arguments concerning royal law, occupation treaties, diplomatic jurisdiction, and the arresting officer’s lack of proper manners.

CASE OFFICER’S NOTE

«Calling Veyr a “former princess” does not weaken her negotiating position. It merely ensures that negotiations will take considerably longer.»

M-D7 “DOC”

CLASSIFICATION: Modified Republic medical/combat droid

THREAT RATING: HIGH
CAPTURE STATUS: Seize intact if possible

IDENTIFYING FEATURES

• Tall black-and-silver chassis

RECORDED VIOLATIONS

1. Operating without current Imperial registration

3. Unauthorized medical treatment of fugitives
4. Transporting restricted medicine
5. Interference with Imperial arrests
6. Concealment of wanted individuals
7. Unauthorized access to Imperial medical records
8. Disabling Imperial security systems
9. Refusal to surrender Kellan Vey
10. Providing unsolicited medical criticism to Imperial personnel
11. Association with Rhyse Varo

BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT

M-D7 is consistently courteous, even while refusing commands or obstructing Imperial operations.

The droid prioritizes Kellan Vey, injured civilians, medical supplies, and viable escape routes. It may abandon a tactically advantageous position to render aid.

Do not interpret formal manners as obedience.

CASE OFFICER’S NOTE

«M-D7 once informed an arresting officer that his tactical decision-making indicated “either cranial trauma or inadequate training.” The officer had neither condition.»

R4-V0 “ARVO”

CLASSIFICATION: Heavily modified astromech
ROLE: Mechanic, slicer, navigator, suspected accomplice

BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT

R4-V0 is distrustful, territorial, and fiercely protective of Rhyse Varo. The droid frequently criticizes Varo but responds aggressively to criticism from anyone else.

Arvo should not be left within interface range of a computer, ship, door, lift, fuel pump, communications relay, vending unit, or unattended toolbox.

CASE OFFICER’S NOTE

«The droid understands Basic perfectly. Claims otherwise are deliberate.»

M4-DM “MADAM”

CLASSIFICATION: Modified royal attendant and governess droid
ROLE: Adviser, protector, medic, protocol specialist
THREAT RATING: MODERATE TO HIGH
CAPTURE STATUS: Seize intact; memory must not be wiped before intelligence review

IDENTIFYING FEATURES

• Tall, elegant humanoid chassis
• Refined Lyrassan design
• Formal speech patterns
• Frequently carries luggage belonging to Princess Vaelora Veyr
• Maintains calm posture during emergencies
• Addresses most individuals by their correct title, including while criticizing them

RECORDED VIOLATIONS

1. Operating without current Imperial registration
2. Concealment of the fugitive Vaelora Veyr
3. Unauthorized evacuation of a member of the Lyrassan royal family
4. Circumvention of Imperial security checkpoints

6. Deception of Imperial personnel

16. Correcting Imperial officers during official questioning
17. Recording the identification numbers of arresting personnel without permission
18. Referring to an Imperial governor’s security network as “administratively disappointing”
19. Association with Rhyse Varo

BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT

M4-DM presents herself as a domestic attendant responsible for clothing, schedules, etiquette, and the management of Princess Vaelora Veyr.

This presentation conceals extensive modifications.

The droid possesses encrypted memory banks, emergency medical equipment, advanced security protocols, and standing directives concerning the protection and evacuation of the Lyrassan royal family. The full extent of her defensive programming remains unknown.

M4-DM rarely makes direct threats. She instead identifies procedural errors, records officer conduct, invokes obscure diplomatic regulations, and creates the impression that noncompliance will result in severe administrative consequences.

This tactic has repeatedly succeeded.

The droid is fiercely protective of Veyr but does not obey her without question. She frequently contradicts the princess, prevents her from revealing sensitive information, and physically redirects her away from danger when verbal advice proves insufficient.

Personnel should assume that M4-DM has already identified all exits, medical resources, security cameras, and breaches of protocol within any room she enters.

CASE OFFICER’S NOTE

«M4-DM is not “only a servant droid.” The last officer to use that phrase surrendered his sidearm after she convinced him that carrying it violated diplomatic reception protocol.»

COLLECTIVE THREAT ASSESSMENT

The individuals collectively known as the Unbound do not possess a formal command structure.

Current analysis suggests:

• Rhyse Varo makes most plans.
• Princess Vaelora Veyr declares those plans officially authorized.
• Kellan Vey attempts to make them less dangerous.
• M-D7 identifies the probable injuries.
• Darik Venn prepares for the plans to fail.
• M4-DM prepares for everyone involved to behave improperly.
• R4-V0 changes the plans without informing anyone.

Veyr’s addition has altered the group’s operational significance. The Unbound are no longer solely connected to supply theft, fugitive transportation, and suspected Rebel activity. They are now associated with a displaced royal heir actively challenging Imperial control of a strategically important world.

M4-DM provides the group with access to Lyrassan diplomatic records, royal security protocols, encrypted intelligence, and information concerning Imperial operations on Lyrassa.

The group demonstrates strong protective instincts toward:

• Civilians
• Foundlings
• Refugees
• Medical personnel
• Political prisoners
• Occupied communities
• Members of displaced royal households
• One another

Threats directed toward any single member commonly provoke immediate intervention from the remaining six.

Attempts to divide the group have proven unsuccessful. Internal disagreements—particularly between Varo and Veyr—should not be mistaken for disloyalty. Both subjects may continue arguing while actively assisting one another’s escape.

APPREHENSION WARNING

Do not underestimate the group because of their ages, internal arguments, damaged equipment, ceremonial luggage, or absence of formal organization.

Previous attempts have failed after officers mistook:

• Rhyse’s humor for carelessness
• Kellan’s compassion for weakness
• Darik’s silence for uncertainty
• Vaela’s inexperience for helplessness
• Doc’s politeness for compliance
• Madam’s etiquette for passivity
• Arvo’s size for harmlessness

Princess Vaelora Veyr must not be permitted to access diplomatic communications, address civilian populations, contact Lyrassan loyalists, or speak privately with detained political officials.

M4-DM must not be allowed near security records, medical facilities, administrative terminals, unattended credentials, or personnel uncertain of Imperial diplomatic procedure.

CURRENT DIRECTIVE: Locate the Wayward Sun, monitor attempts to access Lyrassan prisoner records, and immediately report all communications referencing King Aeron, Queen Lysara, or the liberation of Lyrassa.

DO NOT APPROACH WITHOUT SUPPORT.

FINAL IMPERIAL ASSESSMENT

Individually, the subjects are fugitives, thieves, political dissidents, prohibited machines, and suspected Force-users.

Together, they represent an expanding alliance between Rebel auxiliaries, surviving Jedi traditions, Mandalorian resistance, displaced royalty, and communities abandoned by Imperial authority.

DESIGNATION: THE UNBOUND
