Hello everyone, this is my latest personal project, an Attack on Titan short film. In this short film, I was responsible for all aspects of production. I experimented with building my own workflow and explored the integration of 2D and 3D animation. Since this is my first time creating... such a large-scale project, most of the storyboards are based on the original work, with a few inspired by other films, and the rest are my own original attempts. I aimed to fully respect the original source while incorporating many of my own designs, such as character design, character effects, and original shots. This has been an extremely valuable experience for me. Although the short film is not perfect, it represents my best effort within the limited time available. Therefore, I have decided to share it, hoping you will enjoy it. I will now begin work on my next short film. #AttackOnTitan #aot #進撃の巨人show more

Thank you! But I also plan to add fewer special effects elements in the future. Haha

The cgi and lighting fx is actually amazing. Its like I'm watching a cinematic for a game purely for teaser purposes and has that ground breaking cinematic cgi feel that everyone hopes it becomes a movie.

This is amazing!! Everyone involved in this project is so talented. I wonder how long it took from start to finish.

The animation of the future will be made with Grok Imagine, and it will feel like having your own Pixar Animation Studios at home 🎬✨ I made this short film entirely on my own in just a few hours.

📽️ ELIZA'S SHADOW REALM Here is my new short film. It is made entirely with AI, and although it is not perfect, it still has some inconsistencies, it is a demonstration that with the tools available it is possible to create an animated short film that is almost professional and worthy of competing in a film festival. The script is made with ChatGPT, based on Coraline. The images in Midjourney, using the --sref and --cref parameters. Animations in Runway, music and sound effects in Pixabay, voiceover in , and editing in CapCut. 👉 I won't deny that it takes hours of work and requires dedication and artistic insight, but the important thing is that now anyone can create a short film from home. This short film also works very well as an audiobook. If you have children, I encourage you to show it to them. I think they will enjoy it 🙂 #aiartcommunity #aivideo #aicinema #AIart

Andrei Tarkovsky's own comments about Mirror (1975) reflects how special this film was for him: "As I began work on Mirror, I found myself reflecting more and more that if you are serious about your work, then a film is not the next item in your career, it is an action which will affect the whole of your life. For I had made up my mind that in this film, for the first time, I would use the means of cinema to talk of all that was most precious to me, and do so directly, without playing any kinds of tricks."

A major part of my #Animation process is to make my boards clear and cinematic. Working this way saves me a ton of time later on in the process. The #storyboards are one of the most important parts of production. I am honored that Snow Bear has been nominated for Best Animated Short and Best Storyboards (TV/Media) at the #AnnieAwards Take time on your boards it will make the entire project better! #fyc #snowbear

I've been really wanting to work on video game audio as of recently, so I re-designed ALL of the audio for this VALORANT short. I deleted the original audio and re-imagined it with my own sounds, music, and brought on voice actors. Wouldn't it be cool if Riot Games saw this?

Never Give Up: The Short Film This production was made in collaboration with my friend and film director, Hélvio Avelar. My life has always been about breathing art. From the stage to the screen. From clown to artist. Today I have the support I never had before, and thanks to you, I can give even more purpose to my art. This short film is just the tip of the iceberg. Today I have an even greater understanding of how much I can explore this art globally. I hope to count on everyone's engagement in this work. This is just the beginning. I'm watching all the likes, retweets, and comments... NEVER GIVE UP

“It Takes A Village” 🦌 — A Film by Joshua Kissi⁣ Becoming a father for the first time is a moment of pure joy and overwhelming reality. This experience inspired my short film, as I held my son for the first time, I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of father I would be and what it truly takes to raise a son and a family. These reflections fueled my desire to create this film, bringing together an incredible cast and crew to tell a story that resonates deeply.⁣

It's been a while and it is now the time to share the first preview of my next community project. A purple/cosmic theme was requested a lot after showing the result of my last set, so I changed my plans to work on this first 💜 I hope you will like this darker aesthetic!

Thodōros Angelopoulos on his film language & the reason for not liking some of Andrei Tarkovsky's movies: "Interviewer: The most important thing in your films seems to be the consistence of every single shot. It has to have its own force and build up its intensity as it goes. Angelopoulos: It is for this reason that my personal film language is based on expanding the dimension of time. Before you enter into the gist of any given shot, you have to be given the time to find out the relations between the actor and the landscape. For this reason, I love Tarkovsky's 'Stalker' (1979); 'Nostalghia' (1983), I like less; 'The Sacrifice' (1986), I do not like at all. As far as I am concerned, the Holy Trinity-that of the actor, the landscape, and the camera-is perfect in Stalker. Interviewer: In most of your films, there seems to be a sense of melancholy for the past. But the two children, who are not subject to this melancholy, are pulling you in a different direction. Angelopoulos: I believe the past is my own personal past dragged into the present by my occupation as a filmmaker. The tree at the end of 'Landscape in the Mist' (1988) is the tree from 'Voyage to Cythera' (1984), a reference to my own personal film Landscape. In the course of this picture, the children cross a film landscape in order to reach, at the end, a different film landscape, which, I believe, should offer them renewed hope. I would like to believe the world will be saved by the cinema. Cinema is my world and it is the scope of all my journeys. I am always searching for secret little utopias that will enchant me; I am doing my best to believe in the relevance of these trips I am constantly embarking on through my films." (Thodōros Angelopoulos's interview with Serge Toubiana & Frederic Strauss, 1988) P.S: Remembering the great Greek filmmaker Thodōros Angelopoulos on his 91st birthday.

It has now been 8 years since I first started working for Riot Games. Today, I am grateful for the trust that was placed in my work, and for all the support you have given me over the years. 🫂 Thank you everyone, from the bottom of my heart! 💕 Here is a retrospective video reel showing off some of my VFX over the years. It was pretty difficult to compress this amount of work in such a short duration, but I did my best! 😄 Here is to the next 8 years, and hopefully many more! 🥂✨

Today, my muse for this short film is simply my own overly greedy cat… I also had fun working on the character design, especially the fur texture. I liked the idea of creating something a bit unusual, slightly curly, almost like sheep’s wool AI Tools : Character Design : Midjourney + Nano Banana on Freepik (now Magnific) #DreaminaCPP

Kira (Short Film on Human Cloning) My new AI-assisted short film is here. Kira explores human cloning and the search for identity in today’s world. It took nearly 600 prompts, 12 days (during my free time), and a $500 budget to bring this project to life. The entire film was created by one person using a range of AI tools, all listed at the end. Enjoy. ~ Hashem

When I saw the mask "Tribes of the Calf" from Kanbas I knew I had to make it into reality. The jewelry and gold really made it stand out for me. Since Sam Spratt's The Masquerade was revealed, I have been spending time sculpting and dissecting the mask to recreate it in 3D as faithfully as possible. I delved into the creation of this mask for many reasons. I love a good challenge and this mask surely was one for me. Creating something in 3D from a 2D image is not easy, and especially when the source has generative nature, some stuff is hard to interpret, but I tried my best to make sure the visual integrity of the mask is as close to the original as possible. Splitting the whole mask into parts, filling the missing pieces so I can build the textures was quite a lot of work. I tried to present the mask in my own style with a slightly different colorway to adapt to the mask itself. Please enjoy this short animation, and turn on sound🔊 This piece is my statement that I am here to stay. That I have a voice that often feels being lost in the void. That I have been creating and posting digital art for over 20 years now and will continue until I'm gone. I have a story to tell and I want to be heard. The space we have here is small, and is shrinking day by day. It doesn't have to be like that. We need to support each other and push ourselves and people here, otherwise we are all doomed. As Kanbas has put in their observation of the mask: "Inspirational. Emotional. Natural." This is what our space can be, and this is me making a statement with this homage. I will share a 4k still below as well as a short video showing the 3D GLB interactive model together with a yt link to the 4k video since compression here is pretty bad.

The time for long-form narrative AI filmmaking is now. This is "Plume." My longest fully GenAI short film to date. I've been chasing this idea for years, and for the first time, I finally had the tools to tell it the way I imagined. Written, directed, and edited by me. The barriers are getting smaller. The stories don't have to be.

Not a day goes by that I don’t feel deep gratitude for my work. I love making movies that bring positive change to the world. But nothing compares to being a father. Watching my two boys grow has been the most rewarding experience of my life—and it just keeps getting better! My oldest son, Azai (13), is now composing his own music and creating his own short films. From the moment he was born, he has been an absolute blessing. He’s one of the kindest, most loving souls I’ve ever known. Last year, he entered a national entrepreneurial contest—and won! With the grant money he received, he brought this important short film to life. If you’re a parent, I know you’ll appreciate its message. And if you’re not, this film just might be for you. It certainly made me rethink my own screen habits. For the love of our children and their future, please share this powerful little movie far and wide! Mikki Willis Father | Filmmaker
