Hey there, You know how creating an animated short usually means juggling 3-4 different tools — a script doc, an animation app, a video editor, and hours of stitching everything together? What if you could skip all of that? I just dropped a new video where I go from a story idea to a fully finished animated short in minutes using ONE platform called Pai by Utopai Studios. No Premiere. No CapCut. No timeline editing at all. Now if you are like me, then you can take the finished animated sequence and edit it more to polish it as I show in the video tutorial today. Here's what blew me away: ✅ You write your script right inside the tool ✅ It generates characters you can actually approve and adjust ✅ You get full keyframe control, so it's not just "AI slop" ✅ You can export to 4K if you want to fine-tune in your own editor Whether you're just starting out or you've been animating for years, this changes the game for how fast you can go from concept to finished piece. 👉 Watch the full walkthrough here I show you the entire workflow step by step so you can follow along and try it yourself. 🔗 Try Utopai here

Ok - I am sooooo excited. Just saw the new update on Vidu Q3 Available on Galaxy! So if you use Galaxy, you can now do Sakuga This is the prompt I used: "Epic explosive sword fight, intense camera moves, explosive moves, anime, sakuga style, intense." If you use Galaxy, try using my image, or the one by @Rina Waithera , or one of your own, and go to: 1. AI Video Generator 2. Select Image to Video 3. Click on the model, and search for "Vidu", and select Vidu Q3 4. Use a prompt that asks for intense sakuga style animation This is the prompt I used: "Epic explosive sword fight, intense camera moves, explosive moves, anime, sakuga style, intense." NOTE: It is relatively "expensive", it costs around 1.28M Credits for 8 sec in Galaxy ($1.28 USD) And directly in Vidu.com it appears to be a tiny bit cheaper... at $1.13 USD for 8 sec animation.

AI Directing and Producing is a money making skill. And in the past... @Richard Duszczak asked how much would I charge for animating. Business Skills help you make even more money if you know your customer, and your competition. Case in point: I just got offered $300 usd to create a YouTube video promoting a tool that apparently helps create animations with a beautiful pipeline that allows you to create storyboard panels, then put your scenes together. I instead offered a counter offer with massive value, and now, they are willing to pay 10X+ more than what they originally mentioned. I ofered a package for $3,200, and they agreed. Now, I am still not 100% sure if I am going to help them launch this new AI Platform because I first need to use it and have to love it to recommend it to my students. But in general, I would like to know if anyone is interested in learning business to charge more for your work, and positioning your offer in a way that the prospect customer gets excited to pay more.

I've been working hard to create my next short video, using both OpenArt and Dzine mainly, and Galaxy for simple things just to use the many credits I have there. I am liking OpenASrt more and more, and Dzine less and less. The big thing Dzine has going for it is the ability to lip sync up to four separate characters simultaneously, all in the same scene, and even talking over each other. And their lip sync itself is excellent, intelligently accompanied with appropriate body language. But especially for longer videos, I find that for some crazy reason they often make insane changes to the appearance of the character. I have a clean-shaven guy, and suddenly, over the course of just two frames, it gives him a beard! A woman with long hair combed behind her head will suddenly have her hair jump to the front of her body. A straight road going off into the distance will suddenly become sharply curved. This mess is just from lip sync! Why would lip sync put a beard on a man, or sharply bend a distant road??? Also, OpenArt's version of NanoBanannaPro is much better implemented in OpenArt than in Dzine. They let you give it up to ten reference images to guide the image generation in terms of style and atmosphere. As far as I can tell, Dzine allows only one. And of course OpenArt lets you place their Character 2.0 reference characters in an image, while with Dzine the only practical way is to upload an image already containing the characters, and hope it can keep them straight. And to top it all off, Dzine can make finding earlier generations a nightmare. I generate an image or video, change to a different AI technique, and then when I come back to review and maybe download the original generation, it's gone! It's actually still there, but it's agony hunting around to try to find it. So I have definitely made OpenArt my go-to platform, maintaining a small Dzine subscription only for multiple-character lip sync.
