The fact that this is purely prompt-based is phenomenal to me. Like taking the manuscript of a book and turning it into a movie, except the author is the director and the movie is actually good.

It feels like half of all vertical dramas being made are made like this.

They are.

So much material ready to come to life on Arktoons.

Hammer, Awakener, ATOB, Hypergamouse, Rebel Dead

It will be a fine day when Hollywood and Disney's geese are cooked. Imagine Star Wars fanfic. Kathleen Kennedy doesn't stand a chance. Move over Filoni & Favreau. Shoot we could even make the Gamma Boy Rand Al' Thor look good. I'd love it if Joe Manganiello did Dragonlance properly and maybe Henry Cavill doing some Witcher or Warhammer 40K. The future is bright, Friends!

Reminds me of low tier B or C movies. The shocking thing is that it's already at that level.

What's the best site to purchase Seedance 2?

And the prompts are able to stitch the sequences together as well?

No, Lossless Cut does that. Free open source.

Seem to be the best I've seen. You still need the eye for art as Vox Days storyboarding demonstrate and good storytelling. Post audio is spot on.

Hybrid approaches are the current real world use cases using real footage. Seedance censored like crazy likely due to Hollywood pressure. JSFilmz has some workarounds.

The Hellmouth is doomed. Good.

It's a lot more forgiving in less realistic styles such as a claymation visuals or more impressionistic forms.

Recently saw the Hungarian animated film from 1984 "Heroic Times"

Was struck with how much of that could be reproduced with current AI tools.

On a related note Iconbear could almost be accused of sorcery with some of what he's managed with inferior models even.

This teller still feels that the biggest bottleneck isn't so much consistency as how unsuitable most of the UI of these tools are for serious projects of significant length. Horrid workflow.

Still, at the very least it promises a potential absurd speed up of stop motion animation, which normally has a terrible ratio of time spent to hours of footage.

The character consistency is surprising for purely text-to-video. Are you prompting camera angles/movement to a significant degree or is the program making those decisions?

Vox Day's avatar

They're prompted. We have a separate AI program set up for converting scripts to prompts.

Still. Imagine 5yrs ago someone telling you you could make a near perfect to real life video based on a prompt and wiating a few mins. It is absolutely insane tech. It is astonishing how good it will be soon. Kinda scary.
