Sharing this as a lead‑in to next week. This is Storytelling 01 — a reel I put together about six months ago that focuses on early narrative and character‑driven work. It’s been on my website and my personal profile for a while, but I’m resurfacing it because it represents the foundation of my studio’s voice: visual storytelling, emotional clarity, and cinematic composition. Next week I’ll be releasing Exotic Matter, a new hybrid demo reel that builds on everything I’ve been developing over the past year — performance‑driven animation, layered video workflows, 3D incorporation, green‑screen and mocap work, and my Baerer AI tools. It’s a more advanced, production‑ready look at where the studio is heading. For now, here’s where that evolution started. #HybridAnimation #CinematicAnimation #Animation #CGI #CreativeDirection #AI

SeeDance 2.0 Style Experiment https://lnkd.in/gqk2jbyh This project explores style translation in generative video by recreating the same story, including stylized animation, and cinematic live-action imagery. The entire pipeline was completed in under 8 hours, demonstrating a scalable workflow for rapid AI content production.

Last year, this 30-second noir animation would have cost $10,000 and taken an entire team weeks to produce. I directed, edited, and scored the whole thing in 5 hours using a single "Anchor Image" and a new AI workflow. I’ve spent 35 years in healthcare tech, and I’ve never seen the distance between "Concept" and "Execution" vanish this quickly. To bring the Pragmatic Institute NIHITO philosophy to life, I built a video creation pipeline that maintains perfect character consistency without a traditional animation studio: The Anchor: A Midjourney-style "North Star." The Motion: Directing scenes via Google Flow. The Polish: Final assembly in Adobe Premiere.

I’ve been playing with AI animation recently… and honestly, it’s a little bit crazy what’s becoming possible. Based on my misspent youth listening to far too much metal, this one is very much inspired by the glorious excess of Manowar-era fantasy album covers 🤘 It started as a rough drawing and turned into a full experiment in image generation, refining, prompting, and guiding the AI toward a specific animated look and feel. Definitely not a one-click process — getting something intentional still takes a lot of tweaking, iteration, and creative decision-making. From concept to finished animated piece took about 5 hours. What I’m finding fascinating is how AI is becoming another tool in the motion design workflow. You’re still designing, still art directing, still solving problems — just in a completely new way. If you’re curious about the process or want to know more about how I approached this, let me know in the comments or send me a message — happy to share what I learned. 🎬 Video below. #MotionDesign #Animation #AIAnimation #CreativeTechnology #DigitalArt #MotionDesigner

A glimpse into our sci-fi anime experiment from Alphanome Studio. Exploring futuristic worlds, cinematic storytelling, and stylized visuals through AI-driven workflows. Every frame begins with direction, mood, and narrative before technology steps in to execute. This project is part of our ongoing journey to see how animation, storytelling, and AI can come together to create new visual experiences. Would love to hear your thoughts.

I got the chance to interview Justin Marmulak, who bridges creative leadership and production at Netflix Animation Studios. " People want to see themselves in the art." For our "What's Next?" project in Frontier Tech at BCIT, my team spent a month researching how AI is reshaping film, particularly animation. I grew up with animation from all over the world （not only anime🇯🇵）So this one hit close! 🎯 In Spider-Verse, Miles Morales moves at 12fps. Choppy. Rough. Imperfect on purpose. We all know AI can generate flawless 24fps. But who is making the decision to stay at 12? And how do we know that a “just a frame rate” carries a whole diffrent human experience inside it? We closed with one question, what is the soul of animation/storytelling? I vibe-coded an interactive website to bring the research to life using Claude by Anthropic. Three futures for animation (Optimistic, Most Likely, Pessimistic) from 2027 to 2036, with Justin's full perspective featured inside! 🎬 Explore it here: https://lnkd.in/gndK9W-J Thank you to Justin for your time and to my teammates Jappan Arora & Tyler Sidhu , and our instructor Jayme Cochrane for always pushing us to think bigger. （Didn't use AI Jaymebot this time haha） Grateful to Spark CG Society for helping build this creative community. If you work in animation or creative tech, what do you think AI will never be able to replace? #CreativeIndustries #Animation #FutureOfWork #AI #Motiongraphics British Columbia Institute of Technology BCIT School of Business + Media

New capture, straight from mimem.ai 🎬 Here’s a new motion capture render produced with mimem.ai. Moments like this are always interesting for us because they show how captured motion translates into character performance. Subtle body dynamics, weight shifts, and timing all contribute to making the animation feel natural. What you’re seeing here is the direct output from mimem.ai, without manual cleanup or post-editing. Our goal remains simple: make motion capture easier to use so creators can focus on performance and storytelling, not technical complexity.

Here's what making a Pokémon Snap animation taught me about B2B sales!!! Just kidding, while several different video AI models could have probably made this in a few clicks, I still enjoyed the process of making this in Unreal. I actually used Tripo3D(AI) in ComfyUI to make 3D scans of myself and Poliwrath, which turned out better than I thought considering it only took 4 reference images per character. The remaining characters are from models-resource.com (nostalgia overload) and I animated those using Reallusion's video to motion capture tool. While using some AI tools saved me a bit of time, I still enjoyed animating it all in the movie sequencer! (and screaming at my computer when random objects refused to render) #Reallusion #Pokemon #Cinema4D #Tripo3D #Blender #UnrealEngine #Animation #VisualEffects

This is going to get more and more rare... But nothing here was made with AI. Top frame: CGI animation Bottom frame: Storyboards Storyboards are hand drawn frames that map out a scene before anything gets animated or filmed. We still love starting projects this way. Working with talented storyboard artists who can visualize a scene before anything moves. There’s something personal about it, thinking through every beat and every frame. Could AI generate storyboards? Absolutely. But when a director and a storyboard artist can fine tune every detail together, it shows in the final work. What’s one part of your process where you still take the longer way because it’s worth it?

You've been told 3D animation requires expensive software, a big budget, and years of experience. But ,that's no longer true. I just created a fully cinematic 3D documentary video - with zero budget, without any 3D software, and just using 2 AI tools. And in my latest video, I show you the exact step-by-step process to do the same. 👇 Here's what I cover: ✅Story Creation - How to turn a rough idea into a full cinematic scene breakdown using ChatGPT (camera angles, lighting, shot list everything) ✅AI Image Generation - How to generate consistent, high-quality 3D scene images using Gemini . ✅Image to Video Generation - How to convert your scenes into smooth, cinematic 3D animated clips using Veo 3.1 inside Google Flow ✅Final Edit - How to add sound effects + cinematic music to make your video feel like it came out of a studio . No studio. No 3D software. No prior experience needed. If your goal is to: ✔ Create high-quality video content without a big budget ✔ Stand out as a creator in 2026 ✔ Build a workflow that saves you time and money This video is for you. 🎥 Watch the full breakdown here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dxV-qzKC 💬 Comment "3D" below if you're going to try this today.
