I’ve been using Seedance 2.0 the wrong way this... whole time. Yesterday, while editing an animation short, I realised I wasn’t doing enough staging in my 15-second videos. I was describing what happened in the scene, but I wasn’t really directing how it happened. So today, I tried a new prompting approach to make those 15 seconds more interesting and tell a story people would actually want to watch. Here’s the result and the prompt I used.show more

I didn’t expect Grok’s video model to improve this... much. Today, when I was generating a video with Seedance 2.0, I found the results weren’t very good. So I tried using the exact same source material and prompt in Grok instead. To my surprise, Grok actually produced better results than Seedance 2.0. I’ve put the prompt and source material in the comments, so if you’re interested, you can give it a try too. The left side shows the video generated by Grok, and the right side shows the video generated by Seedance 2.0.show more

I’m a human 3D artist. My Attack on Titan... fan-made short film is a project I started in 2022 and released in June 2024. I redesigned all of the Titans myself. I didn’t use any AI, and I never made any money from this short film. To be honest, I originally didn’t want to talk about this. In order to discuss it, I actually had to subscribe to X Premium. Throughout 2025 and 2026, I started seeing more and more comments like this on my YouTube channel: “Your one and a half years of work? I can make that with AI in 30 seconds.” “I can do it in one minute.” “I can do it in 90 seconds.” So I started looking into it. The first AI short film I found was actually made by modifying footage from my original film, while being presented as an AI-generated work. I felt pretty disappointed. If you think AI can make something better than what I made, then please create something better from scratch. I’ve always found it difficult to accept being mocked while my work is also being taken and reused. Since 2018, I’ve been focused on creating the things I genuinely love. I’ve done it simply because I love creating, and I’ve never made a single cent from these works. As a result, my financial situation has actually been quite difficult. For a while, I was really struggling with the thought that maybe I should have spent the past few years trying to make as much money as possible. Was trying to make a living by creating the things I love just a foolish fantasy? Then I watch Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. There’s one line in the series that really stayed with me: “Being wrong doesn’t mean it was meaningless.” So recently, I’ve slowly started to accept something. If I don’t make the things I love, I don’t think I would be happy even if I had a job. I’ll keep looking for a way forward. Whether that means working harder, finding ways to make money so I can continue making short films, or finding some other way, I still want to keep creating the things I love.show more

AI agents can do animation for you now. All... I did was create the character in GPT Image 2.0. Fable 5 handled the story and prompt, then I used Renoise CLI to run it with Seedance 2.0. Prompt in thread ⤵️show more

15 year anniversary of the Paparazzi video, what a... wild number. I was only twelve when everything happened, so that means I’ve been in music for more than half of my life. Thank you for holding my head up through it all. I used to shy away from the video but lately I feel the opposite — I feel very proudshow more

Chanced on this video yesterday … Back story …... I wasn’t sleeping much anyways, so staying up all night with the new band to prepare wasn’t an issue at all. I had my beloved mum at the morgue. Life had me on my knees, but “there’s always a way out” Told the team I have everything covered, first time Sark saw the band was at soundcheck. Not to brag, but I know what I know, and I do what I do well. Shout out to “Someway Band” 🔥🔥🔥 Global Citizen ⭕show more

No AI was used to make this, it is... all stop-motion done by hand. Each frame took me about 15-30 minutes to pose, the whole animation took almost a month! . I’ve had a lot of people asking me if I listen to music while I work, I do! It slows me down a little, but I think the entertainment is worth it. If I really have to lock in, I won’t listen to anything. Drop your questions in the comments, I’m happy to answer them! . #stopmotion #animation #dance #CharacterAnimation #indieshow more

My Grok Bot + Kimi K3 Made $2,200 While... I Was Away I gave them the job, closed the laptop, and came back to this agents were doing the research, checking the numbers, passing work to each other, and Kimi K3 was deciding what needed to happen next I wasn’t sitting there moving results from one chat to another, I wasn’t writing the next prompt, and I wasn’t the guy keeping everything moving RESEARCH was finding the information ANALYSIS was turning it into something useful VERIFY was catching bad numbers and old data KIMI K3 was keeping the whole thing together The crazy part is that I wasn’t even there I set the goal, the agents took the work, and the system kept going while I was away $2,200 later, I came back to the result Maybe the biggest upgrade with AI isn’t making it smarter Maybe it’s finally getting it to stop waiting for us to tell it what to do nextshow more

I tried this prompt and was genuinely blown away.... It was my first time using Grok for anime, and honestly, I didn’t expect it to be this good. It feels on par with Seedance 2.0, the copyright restrictions are much looser, and the animation is incredibly smooth. workflow 👇show more

Day 80 of learning how to script on Roblox!... 👀✨ Today I created a script for whenever my character goes to sleep in the bed, the clock time will turn to night time and there will be sheep emitting above their head! I actually had a really hard time trying to find a way to set the character placement on the bed... I originally tried to use an animation to make it work but it was just a huge mess... huge credits to H2M Blox on YouTube! I used their video guide to help bring this together 😅 I feel like there is a way more optimized way to do this, anyone have any tips? 🤔show more

I didn’t have enough time to fully test Seedance... 2.0 with cartoon styles, but I made an attempt here using an image generated in Midjourney, and the result is promising, though somewhat incomplete. I need to explore it more deeply, but I’m sure it’s possible to achieve some great animations with it.show more

The bird that disappeared... Eyewitness states: I’ve been sitting... on this video for years and I still can’t explain what happened. Back in March 2024, I filmed a bird after noticing that it seemed to be staying in the exact same spot for almost 10 seconds. I found it strange, so I started recording. What’s weird is that while I was filming, I didn’t even notice the bird had disappeared. I only realized it afterward when I watched the video. It’s been bothering me for years because I genuinely don’t know what I’m looking at. I’ve replayed the video so many times, trying to find a normal explanation. I never really knew where to post it, until I recently heard about Glitch in theMatrix. What do you guys think happened here, is this actually as strange as it looks? I don't know what to post to show that it is an original and not doctored.show more

FSD just gained a new lifetime user. I saw... this posted on reddit and thought I would share it here. ---- I am not a regular subscriber, but I was getting over COVID. With the foggy brain I subscribed to FSD just for the month to help me get around while recovering. I am fully recovered but get to enjoy the rest of the month of FSD. Car updated from 13.2.9 yesterday to 14.2. Today on my way home this happened! I couldn't figure out why it was slamming on the brakes until a mere second before the deer jumped out. I am so thankful. It doesn't replace human intervention but all the extra 'eyes' help. I'm still in shock and so happy I didn't destroy the deer and the car. source:show more

This feels less like ""AI image generation"" and more... like actually directing a shot. Turns out GPT-6 Astra + Dreamina Seedance 2.5 is an actual pipeline. I started with a real photo and used GPT-6 Astra + Blender to recreate it as a clay-style scene. Then I used Seedance 2. 5 to figure out the movement and camera motion. The last step happens in Dreamina - turning that clay animation into a live-action result. The separation of structure → motion → final look is what makes this workflow interesting. #Dreamina #DreaminaPartnershow more

While building SEV0, I ran into moments where natural... language prompting just wasn't enough - too vague, too indirect. So I started using a method that bridges that gap. I call it Bridged Prompting - a technique where you temporarily step out of the prompt-response loop to manipulate something directly using an AI-generated UI, then step back in. Think of it like GenUI, but more user-driven and transient. AI generates a UI on-the-fly, tailored to your prompt, and lets you manipulate the artifact directly before resuming the conversation. Sure, you could build a full tool, switch tabs, wire it up and round-trip your data. But with Bridged Prompting, the AI just spins up a temporary interface right in the flow. In the video below, I used it to construct the hallway system to closely match the layout of the severed floor. This is something I needed to do for this one project, this one time - I didn't need to make a whole separate app. Bridged Prompting lets you: - Make precise edits visually or structurally - "Hit save" to persist changes to local storage or a backend - Return to your natural language promptshow more

👤: Wasn’t there something you wanted to say? Jisung:... Can I say something that’s a little unrelated? 👤: Yes, of course! We’ll somehow connect it to the topic. Jisung: Okay. What I’ve really been feeling lately is that the people I respect the most right now and want to look up to are actually my Super Junior hyungs. I mean… even today, and the things they said to us before, their words and comments were so warm and genuinely kind. That’s why I want to work hard and keep going for a very long time in the future, following their example.show more
