@@anthonypelster1312 Yes, there are a few ways. One is listed by @RapperAriley below. Another thing you can do is simply do variations of a character in Midjourney, and just select the closest images. We often do that if we need a quick solution. There are also some consistent character tools for Midjourney that work. Additionally, you can simply generate video from the same images and get different results that create different angles and animations, etc. On top of that, the character consistency problem is likely going to be solved in 2025, which will be a game-changer.
@@marco_fire_wolf951 For 2D animation, you can use this to focus more on the aspects of animation that you love doing. For instance, you can free up time doing in-betweening by simply drawing the keyframes of your different shots, and then having AI animate from the primary keyframe images. You can also use it to help you create quick character turnarounds from your own designs, give you concepts, test shots, have the AI generations serve as references for your own hand drawn 2D animation and more. If there’s enough demand, maybe we’ll make an entire video on how 2D animators can use AI in their current workflows to make things that weren’t possible before.
Obviously you’d need more than 4 second clips and a way to animate the characters talking etc and we aren’t there yet, but one day will be. I view this as a proof of concept more than a replacement for actual animated full length films. It’s a bit odd to see people freak out about something they have no control over nor should they have control over. Technology isn’t gonna be sidelined to appease people who don’t want it. You have to innovate and or adapt to what is coming or get left behind. If traditional drawing is your thing no one is stopping you from making what you wanna make but yourself.
@@r.j.motajunior2761 I simply recorded all the dialogue myself to match the best parts of the clips where the lip movements were automatically generated with the animations. I simply dubbed over them to make them look natural, and then ran those recordings through Eleven Labs’ vocal changer to change it into the different character voices while maintaining the same delivery. Hope that helps, but let me know if you have any other questions! - Lion
…your own anime “TRAILER”, character consistency is going to be the real time killer; making a trailer with different characters once is easy. Consistency….
@@WitheredWithin We actually did some pretty easy character consistency in here. There are a lot of tricks, but there’s also entire new solutions being developed that will likely solve the difficulty of consistent characters in 2025. Things are evolving fast.
While the Ai makes the art style visually nice, the overall trailer has problems. This is a great example of not knowing how to make a trailer compelling or interesting. Ai is a tool and only a tool (for now) it cannot replace talent.
@@itsmetonylei2540 You seem to be judging a tool in its infancy as if it won’t evolve, which is a mistake. And if you can do better, we’d love to see it.
I know you’re trying to make a video and help people, but from an animator’s perspective this is really insulting to us, because AI is really trash when it comes to art and the more people talk about AI in the art/animation industry, the more animation entertainment will be boring and people will leave animation to AI. AI is bad at animating/art and it doesn’t have emotions to convey what we humans feel. I’m not trying to be rude or hate on you, I respect the grind but I’m just trying to explain why this is bad especially from both artist and an audience perspective.
@@Xammydraws We’re animators ourselves (without AI). Ironically, people said all the things you’re saying now about computer animation before Pixar became a thing.
The real thing is that AI is being trained on artists hard work, and these AI companies charge users and make money without the original artists gaining anything
@@osemenitua7538Yeah. Exactly what I always tell people, both Artists & Devs are now just data sources for companies to feed AI & make money out of thin air without any responsibility. I think this world is leaving this matter silently to sink as their intentions to control even more.
Stop wasting your time with all this AI crap and become an actual artist and just see how much more fun you're going to have this is so huge waste of time and there's no real reward at the end of it since it's all fake and imitation if you have the time to waste on this then you could allowed yourself to use that time to learn how to become an artist don't be bought by how quick this thing does things it's just not going to be able to give you that ultimate satisfaction that you actually did something yourself when you have not you can't even call it art or at least you can't even call it your art because it's not you can claim anything everything is done by the AI and your spending a lot of money if you if you go with the upgrades to do it that's money you can put into educating yourself and becoming an actual artist and making your own characters with your own hands blood sweat and tears and also tears of glory when she see what you have done and you see the finish work and it's glory it is full glory! this is taken away that which is something that AI cannot give you no matter what you put out there even if this thing becomes perfect and it does exactly what you want it won't have a soul in it and that is what it would never be able to give you now you can use something like this as a way to do small things such as storyboarding or prototype or things that don't involve the actual prodigy you're working on you could also use it for your project as an assistant but not as a full assistant let it do everything for you type of thing I say you could probably use it for about 25% as an assistant the rest falls on you on top of that I just don't see how this is going to be able to give you any consistency based on your text prompts or something but again unless you're doing it for like a prototype or some sort of storyboarding then I guess it's got his usefulness but when it comes down to the actual project the things that makes it fun enjoyable and rewarding those things are for you not the AI

@@thanatosor As hard-working animators ourselves, we know that these tools will help them do much less of the grind work like in-betweening, and focus a lot more on the creative parts of animation they love, like keyframe art. If you’re up on the current state of the industry, animators are routinely overworked, and are rarely able to focus on the parts of the animation process they love most.
@FILMCRUX how about you take "your" lame AI mid journey animation elsewhere? Technically, it isn't yours cus it's not ur art, but anyways STILL LAME!!!
@FILMCRUX I'm obviously fu"cking w u. In all seriousness, I believe you understand the distaste for AI art. I don't need to regurgitate things people have already said. I made the comment because I heard midjourney was used, and again, you understand that it was trained using copyrighted works. I hope that those who choose to use whatever you're showing off do it for entertainment/ non-commercial gain, such as inspiration or something in that category and that there is a disclaimer that there's copyrighted material being used.
@ You seem to be entirely confused about how this works. There is no copyrighted material being used. AI learns art in much the same way humans learn art, by looking at the work of other artists, and then using that knowledge to create something new. Work created with Midjourney would not need to do what you’re suggesting anymore than any artist anywhere would need to do that when creating art.
All of you call this art? its just garbage. A Lot of effort and hours for only have a few seconds of vídeo that look awful, this arent anime or art. Only static pictures bad designed with ai, that only moves his mouths and talk

This works great for a trailer, but for an actual anime you need to have characters consistent between shots. Is there a way to do that?
Simple if u train midjourney to have a constant character then you can train the location and shots with that character in side it
