I am building a new Prompt Tool for Animation
Hi! Right now I have everything I need to start prompting 40 panels for the frames I will use in animation. And as I have been experimenting, I found a pattern on my prompts, and instead of creating a Prompt for you to copy paste, and adjust, I am creating a little online software (with the help of AI) where you can visually click on stuff to make your choices easier, just like the Prompt Tool (if you haven't used it, you can test it for free). But this one will allow you to have multiple characters, and apply my framework of using a characters + background + annotation → cool frame. And to make my life easier I am programing this tool to help me prompt much faster, with less work, and be able to enjoy myself more while prompting and creating all the 40 frames I need to animate. If you are in the AI Animation Masterclass, you will be able to access this tool once I have it fully tested and working.

Creative Process
@Mark Diaz Mark, I am at the Storyboard lessons (13-15) in your AI Class and it hit me about your creative process and thinking, you picked the script, back ground music and sound effects before you generated the storyboard images. While watching the clip in #15 it sounded more like an audio story first and then you added the images for the story. Here's my understanding so far about your creative process: 1. Story idea. 2. Character script. 3. Background music. 4. Character image development. 5. Location/background image development. 6. Scene/shot development. 7. Record script/voice audio 8. Build basic animation in video editing software (lesson 15 example). 9. ... Is this close to your creative processes? Thank you, I guess I'm too step by step oriented at this moment.

Week 2 from AI Animation Masterclass - LIVE
Hi! For anyone on the AI Animation Masterclass, I have just published all the video tutorials to produce an AI Animation with professional shots (check screenshots to see lesson contents). It covers in detail how to create this animation.

I have a question about the storyboards in Lesson 13, 14. I like all the detail about using the AI tools, the difficulties and how you worked around them, however as I was watching the thought came to me, "I thought storyboards were supposed to be simple?" The question to you Mark is this, "why all the detail for the storyboard image?" My thoughts are you will use the storyboard images to start the scene animation in AI. I do like how enthusiastic you are about the whole process, it is catching.

Recommend laptop
What laptop would you recommend for IClone? Not the minimum, but something which will optimize the productivity. Thank you!

@Nancy Moon I checked out multiple reviews of processors and the difficulty was which Ryzen was comparable to the Intel Ultra 9 275HX offered by Sager in a 16” machine. Initially, it seems, the Ultra 9 was at the top and the Ryzen 9 9955HX CPU came out as its competitor and is just slightly better. One exception is the Intel can use more memory while the Ryzen is limited to 64gb. I believe this is the main reason Sager chose the Intel CPU, huge amounts of memory capability. I really don’t have a CPU preference for a Windows based OS systems other than I want a laptop that is very capable, both at home and on the move, the ability to render and edit complex graphics. At home I use an additional screen on top of the built in one, however even the low end machines are capable of that. In the end I’ve been using MacBook Pros and Final Cut Pro for so long I had forgotten about the whole hardware issues with Windows systems. Honestly the Apple M CPU series has been a game changer and it’s too bad the associated instruction set hasn’t entered the Windows OS market. Of course Apple has just recently entered in a semi-meaningful way the game world. And it’s no secret the gaming world has changed the whole hardware capabilities on the Windows side of the market. Even the bitcoin people found the GPU speeds of Nvidia made personal mining a real thing. Please note, I do not and have never been tempted to mine bitcoin. But I know people who have. Thank you all for the help.

@Timothy Masters Thank you. The graphics card is an Nvidia 5070 GPU series with 12gb of memory. The laptop arrives soon.

Animation for WEEK 2 of the new training → Done in 8 hrs
Full animated scene done in only 8 hours. From: - Coming up with a story idea - To Designing Characters - Writing a little Script - Planning the Shots - Creating each Panel - Producing Audio (Voice Acting, Music & SFX) - Animating each Panel - Putting it all together All characters are original, and you can see that the Detective is very handsome (looking like meeee haa!) All of this will be explained in Week 2 of the new training. Join AI Animation Masterclass Today. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT to those enrolled in AI Animation Masterclass: I am working on the lessons. Instead of posting all lessons, I decided to start from scratch and instead of just theory of how to animate, I decided to produce a high end animation in 1 day, and then explain step by step with this as example teaching you how you can do the same with your own stories. Lessons for Week 2 will be released tomorrow. Exciting new lessons coming!

Trying to open Week 2 in the Classroom, nothing there. Am I doing something wrong?
