Pushing my limits with AI.
So, I thought I'd push my own limits a little with AI, using Chatgpt, Gemini, and Grok, to create a "50-scene" animation. Quoting Disney, "It all started with a little mouse!" Below, is how I generated all this, if it's of any interest to anyone. This was the description posted into Chat GPT: Generate a complete creative package for a 50-scene 2D Animated Cartoon Film (Style: High-quality 2D Cartoon Render). Story Concept: "The Mouse and the Moon" — A mouse steals items from round the garage to build a rocket ship. There is a cat prowling round the garage trying to stop him getting pieces for his rocket, but eventually helps him. The mouse blasts off to the moon, convinced the moon is made of cheese. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONSISTENCY & SCALE: Define Characters Once: Use the Master Prompts below. CRITICAL CAMERA RULE: Do not generate wide landscape shots where characters are tiny. You must prioritize Medium Shots (waist up) and Close-ups (face focus) so the characters are large, detailed, and fill the frame. Step 1: Master Character Prompt.s Write two highly detailed Text-to-Image prompts to establish the look: [THE MOUSE]: (Write a detailed visual prompt for a young mouse in a 2D cartoon style. He has a cute, expressive face, and wears a green utility vest, shorts, and sneakers. He looks determined). [THE CAT]: (Write a detailed visual prompt for a cute, fluffy cat in a 2D cartoon style . He has big expressive eyes, ginger fur, and wears a blue t-shirt, grey joggers, and running shoes. He looks angry). Step 2: Scene Breakdown Generate the 50-scene script. For each scene, provide these two outputs: IMPORTANT: For every scene, specify "Medium Shot" or "Close-up" to keep characters large. (Text-to-Image Prompt): Describe the visual action. Start the prompt with "Medium Shot of..." or "Close up of..." ensuring THE MOUSE and THE CAT are large and clearly visible in the foreground. (Image-to-Video Prompt): Describe the movement and facial expressions. You must also include the character dialogue here.
