@Alex Vachon . 1.The Vision & Story (100% Original Concept) The story is an original concept. I wanted to pay homage to the classic silent 3D shorts (like Pixar’s Presto or Piper). The goal was to tell a story of perseverance through a tiny hero who refuses to let gravity win. I focused on "Slapstick Humor" a universal language that everyone understands without a single word of dialogue. 2. The AI Power-Stack (Tools Used) To achieve studio-quality results as a solo creator, I used a specific combination of tools: Visuals & Character Design: OpenArt (Chosen for its incredible ability to maintain 3D textures and lighting). Animation & Motion: Seedance 2.0 (Used for its precise image-to-video and frame-to-frame capabilities). Post-Production: CapCut (For final assembly, color grading, and cinematic sound design). 3. The Prompting Strategy (The "Physics" Logic) Since AI can sometimes struggle with complex physics, I used an Action-Reaction logic in Seedance 2.0. Instead of long descriptions, I used direct, force-based prompts. Specific Prompt Example (The Tower Scene): "The mouse loses balance and throws the plate forward with force while he falls backward as the tower collapses." Technical Tip: I kept the Motion Strength high (9-10) to get that sharp, "snappy" movement essential for slapstick comedy. 4. Major Challenges Faced Character Consistency: Keeping the mouse looking exactly the same in every shot is the biggest hurdle in AI filmmaking. I solved this by using specific 'Seed' numbers and 'Character References' in OpenArt. The "Splat" Physics: Getting the cake to detach from the plate and hit the target was tricky. I used a Frame-to-Frame technique: I generated the starting frame (mouse on tower) and the target frame (cake on face), and let the AI morph the transition between them. 5. Timeline Total Duration: 1 minute 40 seconds. Production Time: Roughly 7 to 10 days from concept to final export. In traditional 3D animation, this would take a whole studio months. AI allowed me to act as the Director, Animator, and Editor simultaneously.
