My RESEARCH into the depths of artificial intelligence.

Hello everyone! I've got a lot of interesting things going on here!

I got this job from Upwork, I took it as I found it interesting and could learn a lot of new things.

There were a few fundamental tasks involved in this job:

1. Creating consistent characters.
2. Combining several characters in one scene.
3. Creating AI animations without altering the regular characters.

On these points I will go through separately as I want to share with you my experience.

I took on this job to learn and make a step forward in researching AI tools as the future of motion design. Yes I believe that it will not be a replacement for all of us, but will be just another powerful tool in our service.

1. Creating a consistent character.

I started my research with Leonardo AI. I watched a bunch of youtube videos about the a consistent of characters with reassignment of names and regularity of seeds. But all this did not help me and I reached Midjourney.

So Midjourney! It's beautiful and multifunctional, it has a lot of tools and promts to get what you came to it for. I spent a lot of time learning it and got my own unique and wonderful characters.

Meet Josh and Tom!

2. Combining multiple characters in one scene.

The second big problem I encountered! So Midjourney doesn't know how to combine two consistent characters in one scene, I thought for a long time how I could make a scene, and the easiest way was old but gold Photoshop with its Firefly AI. I generated a bunch of different images of Josh and Tom with the same promts and seeds, then combined the scenes in photoshop adding shadows, reflections, all sorts of objects to get a storyboard according to the customer's script.

3. Creating AI animations without subjecting to change constant characters.

Animation was also required with the use of AI, I tried RUNWAY, but I did not get what was needed. Then again when viewing a huge pile of youtube tutorials I stopped at Kaiber.ai, but here I got a fiasco. Since the characters were completely changed and it turned out not at all what was needed. :(

After much experimentation, I stopped on AI animation separately BG and adding effects on the foreground with the use of Adobe After Effects. And here is what I got at the end!
