As a artist im at point where i understand that AI is the future and people are easily drawn to quality and fast pace work done by AI. .

It's extremely difficult and time consuming to do animation, this technology will actually make it much easier and better not worse. Either way it's the story that makes a good show not the animation. I watch a lot of great shows with terrible animation. Streamlining the animation process will allow for more focus on great stories and many more projects which will undoubtedly produce a lot more great shows and projects.
@@Pharaohjudah Exactly. Any tools that allow for people to focus more on telling great stories will inevitably result in more great stories. It’s really that simple.
@@vikramNKumar People said the same thing about 3D animation, and obviously that turned out not to be the case. The same is true here. People always assume any new innovative technology being used in art will mark the end of creative innovation, and it turns out that it’s always the opposite.
As good as the animation is, the blowing of jackets and hair, and the expert sound design added in, ill always appreciate hand drawn animation over ai anyday. What i perceive to happen is most animes/animation have scenes where just the mouth is moving or very minimal movements in the scene, now animators can just draw a single picture and get the ai to instruct it to move mouth, hair, etc.
@@hogarthheathan Appreciate the kind words. We’re massive fans of hand drawn 2D animation as well. We also love 3D animation though, and innovative new work like Spider-Verse and Arcane. We were impressed by the level of animation already too, especially because these tools are just in their infancy. Imagine them even a year ago.
This will be more helpful to us smaller creators that just have a story to tell. I will use this to create a pilot series that hopefully gets a team to animate it better, but if not, then I will just create the full series. I have several stories I want to see on screen and these tools will help with that
@ That’s the beauty of these tools. The democratization they bring is unprecedented, and will allow for more people to make their creative ideas a reality, and we’re here for it.
Many of us artists cannot afford hiring a large team and the kind of memory we need to animate and who haven't got the..TIME due to working in jobs to pay bills and look after their family. I personally believe those A.I will be a leading force no one can compete with and you either get a grip of it, be creative, have strong story telling and concept or you're finished in future. These tools helps MORE people to do what huge corporations can only do. Imagine someone working 9-6 job, tired, exhuasted but he/she wants to animate their ideas, stories. These tools now gives them the speed, the agility and tools to do so. These tools is a game changer because it helps the little guy and gals to compete with the big companies and allowing them to do so while working in their day job surviving until their idea gets the rewards they deserve. Those who fear it, are those who do not want the little guy to also win. This is what A.I means to me.
I also will always appreciate traditional hand drawn animation. But like others have already said, AI gives creatives who don't have the time or budget to run a big studio the ability to bring their ideas to life. People can get philosophical about it but creators create, regardless of the tools or medium.
To be honest when you have animes like "Overlord" that are just pretty still pictures with voice overs and only a mouth animated sometimes, I'm not surprised AI can make it possible to do the same thing
@@Musiclover6404 Yeah, people who actually watch and study a lot of anime realize how big a deal this is, given how many great anime like Beck, Kingdom, and Overlord as you mentioned have extremely limited animation, and how supremely overworked professional animators are. This is also a game-changer for individual creators who may just not have a large team, or millions of dollars and countless years to create their dream projects. We’re here for it.
@@icopywrite So glad you like it! We have a whole folder of risers inside our SINGULARITY Cinematic Sound Effects Library you can get in the FILM CRUX Store. Hope that helps! www.filmcrux.com/store/p/singularity
I don’t think animators can be replaced by Ai. It’s just so knew, it’s cool to see. Realistically, we as humans prefer human made food over a machine spinning the ingredients around. Still good, but it ain’t human 😂
…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.
@@KitsuneFoxYT People have always said that. They said that when the camera was invented. They said that when the digital camera was invented. They said that when digital music started being created. They said that when computer animation was invented. It seems like a better use of time historically has been seeing how you can make some new art with these tools that has never existed before. You now have any creative project you can imagine at your fingertips.
@ Yea but with the camera or digital music and digital animation, those were tools we would simply use for our process that we put time, effort, and love into. This is just making stuff in one second with no love, no actual process, time or effort. The only thing I ever use AI for is reference or inspiration to assist with the work I still do myself. I just think we need to be careful with AI and how we decide to use it
@@KitsuneFoxYT If you think we just made this in one second with no love, go ahead and try to do the same and let’s see how your finished project turns out.
@ Ok thats not exactly how I meant that, apologies for incorrect use of words, but all I’m saying is I think there’s something special about hand-drawn, hand crafted and taking the time truly make and put together stuff like this yourself, and even though AI is cool and useful, I just think we should always hold that dearly to us and not let that disappear y’know?
@ We agree. We’re huge fans of 2D animation. We were professional animators long before the invention of AI, and animations fans long before that. But there is no wrong way to make art. Just like when 3D animation came onto the scene, people said the exact same things, but just as there are still handmade shoes even though machines made creating shoes so much easier decades ago, there will still be “handmade” animation, as long as there’s a desire for people to see it, or just a desire for people to make it.
@@JazzWalk Thank you so much! That really means a lot, and this was just a small test one person made in two days. Imagine what we could do with a month, or a year.
@@illuminated_crown na im too poor for that ill squeeze what i can from free trials to get my creative dream off the ground the asking someone that doesnt get paid enough to do it in a rush.
@@robertdouble559 If someone says they have the idea of making a TV show, would you say that’s an original idea? Haha. That’s not the part we’re saying is original, although cyberpunk anime trailers made entirely with AI is undoubtedly original. You should spend more time thinking before commenting.
Probably the best demonstration of how far we have come with AI and making more watchable content that doesn't suck. That said, you can still tell it's AI and not what I'd like it to be where you think a very talented person hand drew this but it was in fact AI and then there's a whole 3-4 seasons worth of great story development to go with it. What we're witnessing is the very first potential of it's ability to do that one day. I don't think we'll be at that place anytime soon but I will definitely be able to witness this before I die of old age. Great work, just subbed.
@@infini.tesimo Thank you so much! You’re right, this is very early, but big animation studios will likely start using these tools this year, and they will become ubiquitous likely in the next five years. A single person made this in two days with no budget. Imagine what we can do in two months, or two years, or with a team, or a budget. We could certainly make an entire series using this, even now. We’d just have to take more time to do so to bring it up to the standard we’d want of a AAA anime title. Hope that helps. Get excited!
how long did it take you to make just this trailer and how many of you worked on it (said "we" a few times) this will be interesting to hear and give a good indication if someone like me for example could make a anime on my own and how long it would take vs cost and time.
@@solozerogaming Actually, I’m Lion El Aton, the Founder of FILM CRUX, and I created this trailer myself in about two days, including doing all the writing, voice acting, editing, etc., so it’s definitely something you can do on your own. Imagine if I had taken two weeks instead of two days, or two months instead of two days… you get the idea. All that was really required cost-wise was a Vidu subscription and a Midjourney subscription, as well as some sound design elements like our SINGULARITY Cinematic Sound Effects Library which you can get here: www.filmcrux.com/store/p/singularity
@@FILMCRUX Pleased to meet you and Thank you for the response. Its exactly what i wanted to know, if say an episode would take 1 month to make or a week if its around 30 min (your trailer deadlink was 1;12 seconds and took 2 days for 1 person) personally im saving up to either pay or hire someone as i actually love Anime and want to make my own one.. even if its a failure and doesn't go viral or global its a personal goal or bucket list thing that i really wanne do. i wonder how vidu would handle the more intricate scenes like a fight or battle an if you could actually make a full Anime using it. I saw your Mandela trailer and theres some explosions and more action but still not full on fight scenes do you think its possible?
@@solozerogaming Nice to meet you too! It’s definitely possible to make full fight scenes and action scenes, but it requires a lot of cleverness at the moment. We know how to do it, and we may make a video showcase that in the future if there’s enough interest, but these tools are progressing and breakneck speeds, so they’ll be inherently better at everything over the course of the next year, and new workflows will pop up as a result.
I am currently making a comic with a bit of animation and have made an Episode 1 for my UA-cam channel. I wanted to implement what you are doing but discovered the subscription plans of Vidu and other AI tools. I will have to do with what I have until I am able to come up with the money for such resources. Good tutorial though.
@@StanMan14 Glad you like it! Definitely work on that, and keep in mind these tools we get even more inexpensive in the future, much like hard drive space.
@@forSurfingTheNet Appreciate it! You’re absolutely right, this is just the infancy for this technology. The progress that will be made just this year alone is going to be mindblowing, and we’re going to start seeing most of the major animation studios starting to implement AI into their workflows by the end of the year.
@@TyeW This project only took two days. With more time, a full pilot episode is definitely something we can do. We’re already at the point where we could create a full series or feature-length film using these workflows. It’s pretty wild.
This is great I enjoyed watching this, I’m a audio engineer and I do sound design, I downloaded a sample of your trailer and created a custom sound design and voice over… Id love for you to see it if there a way I could send it to you
@@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.
Interested in what will we see in the next year! I’m making my own animated series using help from AI. It’s not an anime style though and all the characters are designed and animated by me. I use ai for some help with backgrounds, voices and I tie it into the storyline as the character discover ai themselves and begin to change show. I have a few episodes already out on my channel!
@@thislostdimension That’s so great to hear! We’re all for artists being able to bring their creative visions to life, especially ones that may not have been possible before.
For whatever reasons, it's very easy to see it's AI still. I wonder when it'll be hard to see, but it's clearly not anytime so soon. Good demo and explanations, though.
@@lessa192 If we made a full production, we’d do more cleanup, and wouldn’t strictly use AI for every shot, in which case you wouldn’t be able to tell. This was made by only a single person in two days. Imagine two weeks, or two months. It’s already possible.
@FILMCRUX I'm pretty sure I would still see it, though. It's not the only one that used it, it's still quite noticeable. Of course, except if you use it the same as 3D is used in the anime productions. (For small things like smoke, fire, backgrounds, etc). Yet even that is noticeable if you look well, so, hm. There's a lot of persons always saying it won't be noticeable for a lot of things - like just "art", yet I've always seen a difference for now. It's very noticeable to a keen eye, especially when you're drawing yourself. I doubt animation would change that. Right now, absolutely every frames screams of AI. I doubt you'll be able to change that anytime soon. The art itself screams AI. There's the issue of frame smoothness, too. Too smooth right now. Too much fps for an anime. (Well this one would be easy fixed though.)
@@lessa192 Even if the technique is noticeable, the quality would be akin to any anime series out right now. The same way that stop-motion is noticeable, but that says nothing about the quality of the output. It’s an entirely new technique.
@@FILMCRUX what I notice isn't necessarily the technique but quality too. The way hair moves is strange, same for mouth. There are huge art issues as well - and I've never seen one without, it needs heavy, heavy, heavy image editing and I do illustrations, so it's something I notice quite easily to be fair. I did made a bit of animation in the past. And there are parts that just looks strange to me. Granted, it has been made very quickly, so I'm not saying it's bad either, not at all. Yet I've big doubts, extremely big doubts it'd match a good quality hand animation. That said, I'm not entirely against AI personally. As it has been said, I'm pretty sure it won't replace anything as well. Just new opportunities.
@@lessa192 Agreed that it will present new opportunities, and given that it is a different medium, it will have different looks. There are also countless ways to blend it further with traditional animation, as well as create entirely new styles that have never existed.
@@KogaNja You’ll really only need a Vidu subscription and a Midjourney subscription to do something like this. Both offer different plans based on what you need, so you can start with their lowest plans, and upgrade as necessary for your needs.

@@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.
@@marco_fire_wolf951 Definitely! We have a lot of experiments and new workflows planned for the future. If there’s ever anything particular you want to see, let us know, and we may make a video on it in the future.
Ok, but this is just the begging, the most important thing right now about this is how to make consistent characters, good lip sync, and action scenes. In general, to make a good anime of 10 min for each ep, you would take at least one full week to make a good ep or a month for a really good job.
@@benderrr It really depends on how good the creators are, how big the team is, how much money you have, etc. Essentially though, a full series made with consistent characters, lip syncs and action scenes can already be created by a single person.

@@J.okamii You can absolutely use it for 3D as well. In fact, that’s typically easier for AI to handle. Vidu is just especially good at 2D compared to other tools.
@@booya2k Yes, exactly. We have plans to do exactly that in the future. You can use your own keyframe drawings, and then animate them with Vidu, sort of like having in-betweeners on a professional animation project, which of course wouldn’t be possible for most animators before Vidu and these tools.
@@rozzville You can use your own images in Vidu to generate videos from. That includes images you generate with tools like Midjourney, or images you illustrated yourself. It works the same way, and we have plans to showcase that technique in the future. Hopefully that answers your question!
I love how how the narrative switched from "artists will lose they jobs to Ai" to everyone hating and clowning on mainstream stuff made with Ai insteada hiring artists 😆
@@multatuli1 Yes, we think these tools are definitely poised to make that happen. We imagine they’ll start being implemented into some studios in 2025, and into many productions, and that will start to relieve a lot of the overworked animators while allowing them to create more work of higher quality in less time.
@@keiincloud We used simple prompts like the ones we showed in the video. Things like ‘slow motion’, ‘talking’, ‘hair blowing in the wind’ etc. We found that for Vidu, the simpler the better.
Great video. I tried your steps but when it came to getting the character to animate their mouth to speak, what prompt did you use in vidu? Tried various prompts, but it did it's own thing.
@@ej3cohen650 Thank you! Often times if you just run any simple prompt (or no prompt) of a character in Vidu, it will animate their lips moving (especially if you run multiple generations), and then you can use those to dub your dialogue over.

@@inferno2502 It will definitely help all of those things. The incentives for AI are too high, so we’ll we should clearly have reasonable regulations in place, we certainly shouldn’t regulate away the progress, nor would we think most governments would even be incentivized to do so.

Alright. I have 2 questions: 1. While using lookdev/niji, is consistecy in character generation guaranteed? Especially when considering the aspect of the same character appearing in different scenes.. 2. While using vidu, is fight scene creation possible?
@@v3rs_tile Character consistency requires using certain methods we didn’t go into specifics on in this video because it wasn’t particularly necessary here. There are new methods coming out all the time that are making it easier and easier as well, so any specific methods we included would quickly be obsolete. The same is the case for fight scenes. They’re possible, but definitely require a lot more work and innovative techniques at the moment. We may do videos on these aspects in the future if there’s enough interest.
Everyone can be quiet about AI. It's funny because they use computers to make animation anyway. There is nothing wrong with using AI. No one has time and money for production anymore, and it is good for people to make animation and manga easier.
@@EctoOlympia Most of the people complaining about it have never actually worked in professional animation or they’d know how helpful these tools would be given the insane workload and deadlines. They’d also know how much better the finished products can be with these kinds of tools helping during productions so you’re absolutely right.
I like the video but damn, you gotta have deep pockets for this one. I get free trials but you know as well as anyone how useful that is when creating a project like this.
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.
@@Fatdecember 20 second clips are actually possible already. And there are ways to animate the characters talking already. Not just this method, but also features native to AI video generation apps, and things like Runway Act-One. This is also not meant to be a replacement for animated feature films. This will be used in various capacities to make animated feature films, and likely far sooner than you’d think. Well said on people trying to stop the progress of technology by the way. That was perfectly put. Couldn’t agree more.
@ What I meant was characters talking in a naturalistic way. The technology is almost there for that, but imo not quite there yet, but I am in agreement with you on it not replacing animated films in general (perhaps far in the future they can animate a whole movie).
On one hand, I feel sideways about all the A.I. stuff....on the other hand, I'm a filmmaker with no money and a 3 year-old script for a short film I want to make....👀🧐
@@Directorkey718 Haha. A good way to think about these things is to imagine the world 50 years into the future. When you do that, it’s obvious to see that AI will become as acceptable and regularly used part of the filmmaking and artistic process as computers are today.

Machine Learning Engineer here. For those that are claiming that AI is indulging in some kind of theft by models learning off of copyrighted data. This isn't true and its not how models learn. In this context, models learn the drawing styles and colour shades from the images, which are not protected by copyright. With generative models, every single generation is unique and does not exist (unless you use something like controlnet for character consistency). So the output is always unique and does not belong to any existing artist. This is the case even if a model is trained on a million copyrighted material.

Those who fear it, are those who do not want the little guy to also win. This is what A.I means to me.
I also will always appreciate traditional hand drawn animation. But like others have already said, AI gives creatives who don't have the time or budget to run a big studio the ability to bring their ideas to life. People can get philosophical about it but creators create, regardless of the tools or medium.
To be honest when you have animes like "Overlord" that are just pretty still pictures with voice overs and only a mouth animated sometimes, I'm not surprised AI can make it possible to do the same thing
@@Musiclover6404 Yeah, people who actually watch and study a lot of anime realize how big a deal this is, given how many great anime like Beck, Kingdom, and Overlord as you mentioned have extremely limited animation, and how supremely overworked professional animators are. This is also a game-changer for individual creators who may just not have a large team, or millions of dollars and countless years to create their dream projects. We’re here for it.
I can't wait to set up an online store like Etsy and start selling merch of the characters and screenshots, thanks for doing most of the work!

impeccable Tutorial
I don’t think animators can be replaced by Ai. It’s just so knew, it’s cool to see. Realistically, we as humans prefer human made food over a machine spinning the ingredients around. Still good, but it ain’t human 😂
…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.
@ please do share in future content 🙏 btw great work
@@WitheredWithin Thank you so much! Will do!
And then you’re still limited. AI can’t recognize battle scenes, so it’s gonna make for some boring content once you start to rinse and repeat
@ There are already ways to do action scenes. It just requires some creativity, and it’s only going to get better and better.
Bro real talent won’t even exist the next decade from now, as an animator this really scares me…
@@KitsuneFoxYT People have always said that. They said that when the camera was invented. They said that when the digital camera was invented. They said that when digital music started being created. They said that when computer animation was invented. It seems like a better use of time historically has been seeing how you can make some new art with these tools that has never existed before. You now have any creative project you can imagine at your fingertips.
@ Yea but with the camera or digital music and digital animation, those were tools we would simply use for our process that we put time, effort, and love into. This is just making stuff in one second with no love, no actual process, time or effort. The only thing I ever use AI for is reference or inspiration to assist with the work I still do myself. I just think we need to be careful with AI and how we decide to use it
@@KitsuneFoxYT If you think we just made this in one second with no love, go ahead and try to do the same and let’s see how your finished project turns out.
@ Ok thats not exactly how I meant that, apologies for incorrect use of words, but all I’m saying is I think there’s something special about hand-drawn, hand crafted and taking the time truly make and put together stuff like this yourself, and even though AI is cool and useful, I just think we should always hold that dearly to us and not let that disappear y’know?
@ We agree. We’re huge fans of 2D animation. We were professional animators long before the invention of AI, and animations fans long before that. But there is no wrong way to make art. Just like when 3D animation came onto the scene, people said the exact same things, but just as there are still handmade shoes even though machines made creating shoes so much easier decades ago, there will still be “handmade” animation, as long as there’s a desire for people to see it, or just a desire for people to make it.
This is the best AI animated video I’ve seen so far. It can only get better from here! Great job guys! You’ve got me thinking of some ideas already.
@@JazzWalk Thank you so much! That really means a lot, and this was just a small test one person made in two days. Imagine what we could do with a month, or a year.

@@wallacebowie9429 Thank you Wallace!
"We had the idea of a cyberpunk anime trailer.." wow...how do you come up with such ORIGINAL ideas?
@@robertdouble559 If someone says they have the idea of making a TV show, would you say that’s an original idea? Haha. That’s not the part we’re saying is original, although cyberpunk anime trailers made entirely with AI is undoubtedly original. You should spend more time thinking before commenting.
Probably the best demonstration of how far we have come with AI and making more watchable content that doesn't suck. That said, you can still tell it's AI and not what I'd like it to be where you think a very talented person hand drew this but it was in fact AI and then there's a whole 3-4 seasons worth of great story development to go with it. What we're witnessing is the very first potential of it's ability to do that one day. I don't think we'll be at that place anytime soon but I will definitely be able to witness this before I die of old age. Great work, just subbed.
@@infini.tesimo Thank you so much! You’re right, this is very early, but big animation studios will likely start using these tools this year, and they will become ubiquitous likely in the next five years. A single person made this in two days with no budget. Imagine what we can do in two months, or two years, or with a team, or a budget. We could certainly make an entire series using this, even now. We’d just have to take more time to do so to bring it up to the standard we’d want of a AAA anime title. Hope that helps. Get excited!
this was awesome
@@ACEDTVL Thank you so much!
how long did it take you to make just this trailer and how many of you worked on it (said "we" a few times) this will be interesting to hear and give a good indication if someone like me for example could make a anime on my own and how long it would take vs cost and time.
@@solozerogaming Actually, I’m Lion El Aton, the Founder of FILM CRUX, and I created this trailer myself in about two days, including doing all the writing, voice acting, editing, etc., so it’s definitely something you can do on your own. Imagine if I had taken two weeks instead of two days, or two months instead of two days… you get the idea. All that was really required cost-wise was a Vidu subscription and a Midjourney subscription, as well as some sound design elements like our SINGULARITY Cinematic Sound Effects Library which you can get here: www.filmcrux.com/store/p/singularity
@@FILMCRUX Pleased to meet you and Thank you for the response. Its exactly what i wanted to know, if say an episode would take 1 month to make or a week if its around 30 min (your trailer deadlink was 1;12 seconds and took 2 days for 1 person) personally im saving up to either pay or hire someone as i actually love Anime and want to make my own one.. even if its a failure and doesn't go viral or global its a personal goal or bucket list thing that i really wanne do. i wonder how vidu would handle the more intricate scenes like a fight or battle an if you could actually make a full Anime using it. I saw your Mandela trailer and theres some explosions and more action but still not full on fight scenes do you think its possible?
@@solozerogaming Nice to meet you too! It’s definitely possible to make full fight scenes and action scenes, but it requires a lot of cleverness at the moment. We know how to do it, and we may make a video showcase that in the future if there’s enough interest, but these tools are progressing and breakneck speeds, so they’ll be inherently better at everything over the course of the next year, and new workflows will pop up as a result.
Great video! Thank you!

I am currently making a comic with a bit of animation and have made an Episode 1 for my UA-cam channel.

I will have to do with what I have until I am able to come up with the money for such resources. Good tutorial though.

@@forSurfingTheNet Appreciate it! You’re absolutely right, this is just the infancy for this technology. The progress that will be made just this year alone is going to be mindblowing, and we’re going to start seeing most of the major animation studios starting to implement AI into their workflows by the end of the year.
I will say making a trailer with still shots cutting back to back does help. I would be super curious what you could pull off making a pilot episode!
@@TyeW This project only took two days. With more time, a full pilot episode is definitely something we can do. We’re already at the point where we could create a full series or feature-length film using these workflows. It’s pretty wild.

@@Lainjaeger Thank you! That means a lot.
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
@@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.
We can make an anime short film through this ?
@darshandarsh-vm4he Yes, definitely. That’s exactly what we did here if you see the finished trailer.
@@FILMCRUX ok will you join in our team ? Can I have your insta id ?
Interested in what will we see in the next year! I’m making my own animated series using help from AI. It’s not an anime style though and all the characters are designed and animated by me. I use ai for some help with backgrounds, voices and I tie it into the storyline as the character discover ai themselves and begin to change show. I have a few episodes already out on my channel!
@@thislostdimension That’s so great to hear! We’re all for artists being able to bring their creative visions to life, especially ones that may not have been possible before.
For whatever reasons, it's very easy to see it's AI still. I wonder when it'll be hard to see, but it's clearly not anytime so soon.
Good demo and explanations, though.
@@lessa192 If we made a full production, we’d do more cleanup, and wouldn’t strictly use AI for every shot, in which case you wouldn’t be able to tell. This was made by only a single person in two days. Imagine two weeks, or two months. It’s already possible.
@FILMCRUX I'm pretty sure I would still see it, though. It's not the only one that used it, it's still quite noticeable.
Of course, except if you use it the same as 3D is used in the anime productions. (For small things like smoke, fire, backgrounds, etc). Yet even that is noticeable if you look well, so, hm.
There's a lot of persons always saying it won't be noticeable for a lot of things - like just "art", yet I've always seen a difference for now. It's very noticeable to a keen eye, especially when you're drawing yourself. I doubt animation would change that.
Right now, absolutely every frames screams of AI. I doubt you'll be able to change that anytime soon. The art itself screams AI.
There's the issue of frame smoothness, too. Too smooth right now. Too much fps for an anime. (Well this one would be easy fixed though.)
@@lessa192 Even if the technique is noticeable, the quality would be akin to any anime series out right now. The same way that stop-motion is noticeable, but that says nothing about the quality of the output. It’s an entirely new technique.
@@FILMCRUX what I notice isn't necessarily the technique but quality too. The way hair moves is strange, same for mouth.
There are huge art issues as well - and I've never seen one without, it needs heavy, heavy, heavy image editing and I do illustrations, so it's something I notice quite easily to be fair.
I did made a bit of animation in the past. And there are parts that just looks strange to me.
Granted, it has been made very quickly, so I'm not saying it's bad either, not at all. Yet I've big doubts, extremely big doubts it'd match a good quality hand animation.
That said, I'm not entirely against AI personally. As it has been said, I'm pretty sure it won't replace anything as well. Just new opportunities.
@@lessa192 Agreed that it will present new opportunities, and given that it is a different medium, it will have different looks. There are also countless ways to blend it further with traditional animation, as well as create entirely new styles that have never existed.
This would do good on UA-cam
@@TimeCapsuleTales-sh9vu It’s on UA-cam. What do you mean?
How much do all these apps together cost to achieve all this?
@@KogaNja You’ll really only need a Vidu subscription and a Midjourney subscription to do something like this. Both offer different plans based on what you need, so you can start with their lowest plans, and upgrade as necessary for your needs.

as a 2d animator myself,how can i utilize this in my own works to make the process easier and faster?
@@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.
@@FILMCRUX much appreciated. would like to see it in a future video😎
@@marco_fire_wolf951 Definitely! We have a lot of experiments and new workflows planned for the future. If there’s ever anything particular you want to see, let us know, and we may make a video on it in the future.
@@Fragaboom What do you mean?
@@Fragaboom Still have no idea what you’re talking about.
Ok, but this is just the begging, the most important thing right now about this is how to make consistent characters, good lip sync, and action scenes. In general, to make a good anime of 10 min for each ep, you would take at least one full week to make a good ep or a month for a really good job.
@@benderrr It really depends on how good the creators are, how big the team is, how much money you have, etc. Essentially though, a full series made with consistent characters, lip syncs and action scenes can already be created by a single person.

Alright. I have 2 questions:
1. While using lookdev/niji, is consistecy in character generation guaranteed? Especially when considering the aspect of the same character appearing in different scenes..
2. While using vidu, is fight scene creation possible?
@@v3rs_tile Character consistency requires using certain methods we didn’t go into specifics on in this video because it wasn’t particularly necessary here. There are new methods coming out all the time that are making it easier and easier as well, so any specific methods we included would quickly be obsolete.
The same is the case for fight scenes. They’re possible, but definitely require a lot more work and innovative techniques at the moment. We may do videos on these aspects in the future if there’s enough interest.
@FILMCRUX I really hope you do cuz the finished work was ground breaking as it is. So much so, I watched this tutorial and the trailer twice each.

I like vidu but i cant get enough kling ai for my videos for youtube 😀they become so clean. Get problems sometimes with vidu😢
@WickloAi We think Vidu is the king of 2D animation, and Kling is better for 3D animation. They’re both great though.
@FILMCRUX you right 😀😀
@WickloAi Glad you think so! Haha.
Everyone can be quiet about AI. It's funny because they use computers to make animation anyway. There is nothing wrong with using AI. No one has time and money for production anymore, and it is good for people to make animation and manga easier.
@@EctoOlympia Most of the people complaining about it have never actually worked in professional animation or they’d know how helpful these tools would be given the insane workload and deadlines. They’d also know how much better the finished products can be with these kinds of tools helping during productions so you’re absolutely right.
@FILMCRUX 💯
I like the video but damn, you gotta have deep pockets for this one. I get free trials but you know as well as anyone how useful that is when creating a project like this.
Can you please please make one video only about Directing and scriptwriting..
@@Samt2b We have a long list of videos lined up, and we do have plans to make videos exclusively on those subjects in the future.
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.
@@Fatdecember 20 second clips are actually possible already. And there are ways to animate the characters talking already. Not just this method, but also features native to AI video generation apps, and things like Runway Act-One.
This is also not meant to be a replacement for animated feature films. This will be used in various capacities to make animated feature films, and likely far sooner than you’d think.
Well said on people trying to stop the progress of technology by the way. That was perfectly put. Couldn’t agree more.
@ What I meant was characters talking in a naturalistic way. The technology is almost there for that, but imo not quite there yet, but I am in agreement with you on it not replacing animated films in general (perhaps far in the future they can animate a whole movie).
@ It probably won’t be in the far future. You’re likely to see AI-integrated animation productions being made in 2025.
On one hand, I feel sideways about all the A.I. stuff....on the other hand, I'm a filmmaker with no money and a 3 year-old script for a short film I want to make....👀🧐
@@Directorkey718 Haha. A good way to think about these things is to imagine the world 50 years into the future. When you do that, it’s obvious to see that AI will become as acceptable and regularly used part of the filmmaking and artistic process as computers are today. AI is going to be here one way or the other, but your project will only be here if you make it. Take the leap.
only if your anime is just dialogues, other than that ai does not generate consistent characters and very limited on action scenes
@@zangind2137 While it is limited with action scenes (although we’ve already done successful tests with them), we’ve found methods for consistent characters, and in 2025, huge progress will be made in both of those areas. Keep an eye out for it.
so much value thank you
@@SunDolceMusic You’re very welcome! Let us know if you have any questions and we’ll try to help.
Only problem with Vidu is that it can't handle action scene yet.
@@sinitus It’s still in its infancy. We figured out how to make them, but it’s likely the ability to do action scenes more easily will come along as this rapidly evolves.
@FILMCRUX any tutorials possibly? It does good with working with my own art and characters. I was trying to make a short trailer for my manga
@ We may make some in the future. Keep an eye out. There will also likely be new solutions for animating action coming out in 2025.
When I put the prompt in Midjourney, I get an error saying “Failed to submit: Unknown flag: AR”
@@leo_n3103 You may not be typing it in correctly. The dashes before ‘ar’ have to be inputted properly. Here’s an example:
masterpiece, cyberpunk, 1980 1990, anime screencap, cinematic, ultimate details, --ar 16:9 --style expressive --stylize 90 --iw 0.75 --niji 5
Better than anything Netflix got to offer
@@NeterRafi77 Haha. That’s very kind of you to say, but Netflix has some amazing stuff.
That, right there it's a lie
Machine Learning Engineer here.
For those that are claiming that AI is indulging in some kind of theft by models learning off of copyrighted data. This isn't true and its not how models learn.
In this context, models learn the drawing styles and colour shades from the images, which are not protected by copyright. With generative models, every single generation is unique and does not exist (unless you use something like controlnet for character consistency). So the output is always unique and does not belong to any existing artist. This is the case even if a model is trained on a million copyrighted material.
@@neural.architect That’s exactly right. In fact, these AI learn in much the same way that humans do, by looking at the work of other artists, and then using that knowledge to create something entirely new.
I want to go back in time
@@BinaryDood Haha. To when?
@ before this gen Ai mess robbed whatever innocence we had left. Now I can only watch the world rot into noise as it’s sold for parts
