I created a million-dollar Pixar-quality short in just 8 days using AI. Workflow: nano banana + midjourney + seedance + kling 2.5 + Suno + Elevenlabs I also tested Sora 2…and the results were surprising (see below) Excited to finally share this! 🧵

"I created" It's this delusion that the AI companies sell to non-creative like you. "a million-dollar Pixar-quality" shows an astounding amount of ignorance.

are you genuinely incapable of seeing how this looks bad

vaguely plagiarizing their animation style doesn't make it 'pixar quality'.

You didn't make shit. You just typed a few words and the machine did all the work. You don't deserve the praise.

disrespectfully, this is dog shit mate

You didn't do shit, fraud

I made a cheeseburger by telling the cashier at McDonald's that I wanted a cheeseburger and then they gave me the cheeseburger that I made somehow

It’s funny how people like you don’t realise that a shiny veneer isn’t what makes “Pixar quality”. It’s the creative decisions and intent that go into making something worth bringing to life. If you had animated this yourself. It would likely be terrible. Because this, at its core, is terrible. It’s a polished turd basically.

Yeah fuck you bro

Cmon.

no

A fucking sticker drawn by a five-year-old has more life than a shitty AI

Slop. And you don't know even how to draw. What did you created?

This is worth 0 dollars, looks like shit And you are a talentless bitch creating things out of other People's work

This sucks ass

My guy, it doesn't even look a fraction as good as Picard earliishort films from the 90's. AI's been developing for 3 years and it's moved about 3 inches from where it started. Legitimately you just wasted those 8 days. Making someone no one will like, to show off tech advancing at a snails pace, all just for you yourself to forget about it in a few days.

I know you’re a bot but be so fucking for real right now. 😂 How are people not more embarrassed to post this absolute dog shit?

"I created a million-dollar Pixar-quality short" bullshit

Completely worthless garbage. Please learn how to actually make things. You’ll be happier and you’ll actually be adding value into the world instead of shitting out slop made from stolen actual art. You spent the last eight days doing something even worse than wasting your time.

You didn’t create anything & this looks like ass. Headless background characters? Slop.

I teamed up with my favorite folks at Wistia to tackle a fun challenge: use AI to recreate one of their classic ads starring their lovable mascot, Lenny. It started as a shot-for-shot recreation…but soon took on a life of its own.

I leaned into my “vibe animating” workflow: Toss out ideas - test quickly - keep what works - sculpt it to the flow / music track Here’s how the tools stacked up: Midjourney = unmatched aesthetic Nano Banana = angles + edits Seedance + Kling = motion Midjourney = surprisingly solid video too Suno = nailed the music track in one prompt Elevenlabs = bespoke sound effects

Then off to home sweet home in After Effects for some clean up. One of the favorite shots involved google street view + a green screen run cycle produced in nano + MJ - finished in AE. The real unlock: think in assets. Use multiple tools to build your start/end frames. Stitch them into story.

With the launch of Sora 2 I had to know how it would fair against the tools I used to create this - Seedance / Kling. to be honest - I was incredibly hopeful that it was going to be a serious level up....buuuuut The first is Kling and the second is Sora 2 - both using the same exact prompt: A golden brown fluffy labradoodle with a red and white striped bowtie runs across a tennis court in autumn, colorful leaves swirling around. The dog is carrying a cracked black VHS tape in his mouth at first. As he runs, the VHS naturally slips and falls to the ground. Without hesitation, the dog’s focus shifts—he spots a bouncing tennis ball ahead and chases it with excited, playful energy. The camera tracks backward smoothly, keeping pace. Emphasize realistic dog-like motion, whimsical animation timing, and a clear transition from dropping the tape to chasing the ball.

And since After Effects is my first love I figure it's worth sharing a walkthrough of what @crlvideo and I lovingly refer to as the 'Hakuna Matata' sequence. There's serious power is taking your generations - breaking them into assets - and then crafting your start/end frames in post

As promised, here’s the custom GPT I built to assist in crafting prompts for each LLM. So far this has coverage for Midjourney, Nano Banana, Kling, and Seedance. I'm adding to it all the time! Last thing: the way I like to engage it is simply type the model you want the custom prompt for (ie. Nano Banana: [insert instructions here]) with a short explanation of what you're looking for. Best part is that it's conversational so you can tweak to get the results you want. happy prompting

And finally - here’s the original Wistia ad with our pal Lenny What started as a shot-for-shot AI recreation evolved into a full short of its own Reinterpreting past content with these tools feels like a huge opportunity moving forward. More soon!

It looks like shit. Have you seen a Pixar movie?

180 degree rule broken constantly and disorienting. Backgrounds inconsistent or nonsensical (why is the street at a 70 angle from the window?) Walk cycle ugly. No emotional throughline in character expressions. And this is the best it can do. Can’t take notes.

The quality control fucking sucks, the dog's bow tie changes pattern literally every scene his fur coat changes color every scene too. The damage to the vcr is not consistent what so ever On top of that it's just a boring premise, a dog breaking a vcr going through generic locals

the fuck you think im gonna sit down in a theatre or somethin and watch this i should end you for suggesting something even similar to such

You did not animate this all yourself, you just used an ai trained on stolen media.

Daring saying that that shit is Pixar-level just tells that you don't give a shit about art and cinema. Stay away from that medium, you don't know what you're talking about

Awesome except for the fact that you can't tell how the dog is feeling in literally any scene. Probably not important, right?

Stole it. The words you are searching for is STOLEN art & creative hours.

You didn't make anything lol
