THE KINGDOM AI is finally doing what it should. Unlocking visual approaches that were previously nearly impossible to scale because of cost, like oil-painted animation. That’s starting to change.

this sucks

If a style aids the narrative it is enough reason to use it. But no need for polemics of "impossible to do" because we actually did whole movies hand painting them. Neither devalues each other, depending on the intent of applying which technique.

There is literally ONE movie which uses the style. It costs 5M dollars to produce. This isn’t my definition of accessible :)

@FabreLoup You obviously never really care about quality medium which in 90th to early 2000 are far better than anything today because you are beinf jealous and hate people who worked hard and achieve big things wheras you are useless individual who bring nothing to societies

@FabreLoup

Nada é impossível para humanos.

Yeah I know of the movie :) it’s likely one of the main examples showing it’s possible. It was also 5M dollars of budget

@rafaelpguy Okay so you realize a typical animated movie in 2016 had a budget of like 100 million, right?

@henrydaubrez Sou produtor de filmes de animação, portanto sei muito bem. O Oscar 2025 teve Flow, que custou menos de 3 milhões de Euros.

this is what I'm working on with my own art with ebsynth. my art is usually a mix of an oil and watercolor style.

eBsynth is the OG AI style transfer

long time ebsynth and artbreeder fan here.

Wow, the artists the A.I. stole from did a really good job; hope you work to try and do the same one day.

Now THIS is amazing.

Texture is amasing. Human movement still ass sloppy. Perhaps next year.

the visual style in this is amazing.

Amazing

This looks great

油絵スタイルのアニメーション！素敵です🥹

Beautiful work!

Really cool!

!!!

looks fantastic

Continuity is also screwed in ai videos. Until it fixes that, no amount of pretty colors can make this a passable substitute

Henry it's awesome! 🐉

do we see this trash thing the same way?

This looks amazing!

Henry, this is beautiful!

love this aesthetic!!

You can already do this in Blender. 30s clip is not impossible for a good 3d artist.

How dose ai manage to make everything so boring

It's still cheap empty slop

Ok. Notes. I want the *exact* same scene, but make the horse brown, have hero ride in from the right side of the frame instead the left. Make all fire green and it should color cast more on the horse and hero. Have the hero cut off the dragon's head completely. By 5pm.

Sorry bur even with a normal team, unreasonable feedback is unreasonable Also… those feedbacks can already be addressed. Just a matter of workflow.

@beagewill 'Unreasonable feedback' and it's standard production notes lmao. This kind of note is why movies have a whole process beginning with script, storyboard, etc.

Exactly my point. You don’t get to that point before validating those things before. Saying “hey, I want the horse blue for in an hour” is NOT happening in a regular production where you get to the level of polish. It has been discussed, validated and passed way before. I love how folks think that because there is AI in the process you stop writing scripts, doing pre-prod and planning shots

@beagewill If you're doing all that anyway, what's the point of the AI?

Gosh. Not all animated movies are 100M dollars? Why AI? Oh I don’t know. To your point how many 100M dollars movies are greenlit you think? Why? Budget budget budget. This money rarely comes back because studios needs to see 2.5X ROI to consider it a success. Now if I tell you I can still pull a team do a 10th of the size and they can still give you major production milestones but save on pre-production, rigging, texturing, animation, sound, etc.. and you can produce the same quality for what… 10M? Still a hefty amount of money for a small team but it suddenly gets you to “break even” at 25M. Not 250M

god that's jank

This is so cool. 👌

is it what called HappyHorse?!!!

Nah. Seedance

Absolutely makes sense, but according to your bio .., i was thinking maybe related to rumors of Veo4 aka happyhorse

Ahaha EVEN IF I knew… I would not say anyway :)

Lovely aesthetic!!!!

Phenomenal demo Henry. Been dreaming of this since DALL-E 2.

This was the style I dreamed of two years ago. And now it’s possible to pull off. I’ve gotta get back into it! Beautiful work!

So beautiful This style is !! How are you getting pass the face restrictions on seedance ?

@carlfranzen Very nice! Do you find Seedance better at handling this style compared to Veo or Kling?

new vibes will unlock with those new styles

Dang! tutorial wen? 🐹
