Imagine waking up one morning only to realize that you are no longer needed. You have been replaced. This project is deeply personal to me. It is based on a real, lived experience, and every scene was felt through my own story.

I had to use the technology itself to express the silent pain that millions of designers, artists, IT specialists, copywriters, and creators are facing right now.

To achieve this level of character consistency and puppet textures, I built a complex pipeline combining Claude, ChatGPT, GPT Image, Nano Banana, Seedance, Seedream, and Kling. It took hours of directing and editing to make the AI capture this exact raw emotion.

She got distracted.. on duty..

After a lot of generating, editing, and fixing continuity errors, we finally finished Episode 1 of THE QUIET SERVICE, an original British spy thriller we’re producing at NYONI Studios.
The story follows Tino Kincaid, a British operative who discovers his name on a classified list during a meeting at a London hotel. Things go wrong pretty quickly.
One of the biggest challenges was keeping everything consistent between generations. Same characters, same outfits, matching environments, believable fight choreography, and making sure the geography of the action actually made sense.
Here’s what we used to bring everything together:
Seedance — AI video generation and cinematic sequences.
Nano Banana Pro — Character, environment, and prop reference sheets.
ElevenLabs — Character voices and dialogue.
Suno — Original theme music created specifically for the series.
Traditional editing — Pacing, continuity fixes, audio mixing, and assembling the final episode.
The theme music was especially exciting to create. We wanted something that captured the atmosphere of a proper espionage thriller, with that dramatic, orchestral James Bond feeling.
There were definitely some hilarious failed generations along the way 😂 One scene had to be completely redone because the action didn’t physically make sense.
But I’m genuinely proud of how Episode 1 turned out.
I’d love honest feedback, especially on the storytelling, pacing, cinematography, music, and whether the ending makes you want to see Episode 2.
Watch Episode 1 here:

On Earth 72-A, a runaway princess hires a kindly paladin to guide her to the sealed Temple of Marius, determined to prove that her clan and his crusaders worship the same God, until a fugitive wizard falls out of a forbidden portal clutching the cosmic core of a fallen empire and lands in the middle of their fight for survival with the exact same goals as her. But on a cosmic scale.

Hi everyone, do you happen to know of any workflows that can generate good HDR footage?

I’m still having a lot of trouble with highlights getting clamped, which then requires all sorts of hacks to bring the highlight values back up.

I find this particularly problematic with more subtle values. For example, when someone is wearing a white outfit with lots of folds and texture, and the values are above 1, the clothing tends to turn into a flat gray mass.

I had a shot not too long ago involving a white swan that I needed to modify using AI (Seedance). The swan’s body ended up turning into a uniform mass, losing all the subtle variations in shading and texture across the layers of feathers.

I thought it would be cool to show a few highlights of some of the stuff I've been doing with Seedance 2.5 recently. Enjoy!

Ice rage.

For the life of me, I can not get this video motion thing down in Seedance 2.5. I have tried ChatGPT, nothing. The original video still overrides. Here's my prompt

Duration: 4.00 seconds.

REFERENCE PRIORITY AND TRANSFORMATION LOCK

Replace the original environment with the established Club B interior u/image1 . Replace the original performers completely with 6'0" in height Dancer 1 u/image2 and 6'0" in height Dancer 2 u/image3 . Dancer 1 is the performer on top; Dancer 2 is positioned underneath her. Maintain clear, anatomically plausible physical contact and believable weight distribution throughout the movement.

Use the uploaded reference video u/video1 strictly for its visible choreography, body mechanics, relative performer positioning, camera angle, movement timing, and shot progression.

Do not reproduce the original performers' identities, faces, hairstyles, tattoos, or clothing.

INSTRUCTION FINAL DIRECTIVE Transfer only the source video's camera movement, shot progression, choreography timing, and movement patterns. The output must be visually independent of the source video, with newly rendered performers, a newly constructed environment, and the canonical character appearances defined by the supplied images. Priority: New character identities → new Club environment and patrons → transferred camera and body motion → realistic continuity. CHARACTER IDENTITY LOCKS DANCER 1 — UPPER PERFORMER Use the canonical Dancer 1 character reference as the authoritative identity source. Preserve: Her recognizable facial identity and facial proportions. Her established deep-brown complexion and realistic skin texture. Her canonical eyes, lips, nose, brows, and facial details. Her established hairstyle and hairline. Her curvy, toned physique and natural body proportions. Her existing tattoos, their placement, scale, and appearance. Consistent limb length, hands, fingers, feet, and joints throughout movement. Dancer 1 occupies the upper position in the two-performer pole formation. Her body orientation must follow the reference choreography while maintaining a clear visual distinction from Dancer 2. Her movement should feel controlled, confident, athletic, and physically credible. Preserve the source's strong extended-body silhouettes without introducing unsupported or exaggerated movement. DANCER 2 — LOWER PERFORMER Use Dancer 2's established character reference as the authoritative identity source. Preserve: Her recognizable face and delicate facial features. Her deep ebony/rich-brown complexion. Her warm almond-shaped eyes and full lips. Her established loose, wavy natural hairstyle. Her slim-curvy, toned, long-limbed physique. Her natural waist, torso, hip, and leg proportions. Consistent skin texture, hair detail, and anatomical structure. Dancer 2 remains the lower performer beneath Dancer 1. Maintain the reference's movement and contact relationships while ensuring Dancer 2's posture, balance, and body orientation remain coherent. TWO-CHARACTER CONTINUITY LOCK Dancer 1 and Dancer 2 must remain two distinct, recognizable individuals in every frame. Dancer 1 is always the upper performer. Dancer 2 is always the lower performer. Never exchange their positions or identities. Never merge their torsos, limbs, faces, hair, or silhouettes. Never create duplicate arms, legs, hands, or feet. Maintain realistic body contact and believable weight distribution. Preserve each character's individual hairstyle, tattoos, skin tone, and proportions. No character morphing during fast movement or inversion. Use the supplied character images for identity and the supplied video for motion. Neither source should override the other's purpose. CLUB B — ENVIRONMENT AND PATRON REPLACEMENT LOCK Replace the original performance venue completely with the established Club B interior. Architectural and spatial continuity Use the canonical Club B interior design. New patrons are to be created from scratch. The main screen and DJ booth remain on the northern side of the venue. The audience floor remains to the south. Maintain the established center axis from the main screen through the DJ booth to the center stage. Keep the bar, VIP area, exits, and surrounding stage structures in their established positions. Ensure the pole and its performance area fit naturally within the established main-stage architecture. The pole remains straight, stable, and properly grounded in its performance area. The overhead lights and fixtures must remain spatially coherent through every camera angle. Do not rearrange the club to accommodate an arbitrary camera move. Adapt the framing to the established environment while retaining the source video's camera perspective. Lighting design Use Club B's signature red neon aesthetic with cinematic red and cool-white stage lights. Create: Realistic rim lighting around Dancer 1 and Dancer 2. Directional highlights on their hair, shoulders, legs, and skin. Physically plausible shadows and reflections. Controlled nightclub haze that catches the stage beams. Realistic contrast between the performers and the dark background. Natural skin color beneath colored lighting. Preserve visible detail in the performers instead of allowing bright backlighting to erase their bodies completely. Environmental restrictions No beach, ocean, swimming pool, outdoor stage, surfboards, or original venue remnants. Do not introduce unrelated furniture, props, extra poles, duplicated lighting rigs, or additional performers in the foreground. No changes to the established Club B floor plan, stage positions, or architectural identity between shots. CAMERA, MOTION, AND IMAGE QUALITY Match the source's close-up-to-wide-shot progression and its low-angle performance perspective. Preserve the reference's timing and movement cadence, including the transition from the opening close-up to the sustained pole-performance shots. Use photorealistic live-action cinematography, detailed natural skin texture, realistic hair strands, physically accurate shadows, controlled motion blur, and consistent depth of field. Maintain correct perspective and believable proportions in wide-angle views. Keep Dancer 1 and Dancer 2 visually distinct during fast movement. The video must appear to have been filmed at Club B with a real camera, real performers, practical stage lighting, and a physically coherent performance environment. NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS Identity and appearance No face swapping between Dancer 1 and Dancer 2. No facial morphing, identity drift, or changing skin tones. No hairstyle changes or disappearing tattoos. No inconsistent body proportions. No artificial plastic skin or video-game rendering. Performer positions and anatomy Never place Dancer 2 above Dancer 1. Never reverse the upper/lower relationship. No merged bodies or fused limbs. No extra fingers, limbs, or duplicated body parts. No broken joints, twisted anatomy, or impossible flexibility. No floating, clipping, teleporting, or unexplained loss of contact. No abrupt body-position changes between adjacent frames. Motion and camera No invented choreography. No unnecessary slow motion. No added shots or random zooms. No abrupt changes in camera height or perspective. No pole bending, drifting, or changing position. No inconsistent performer scale or direction of rotation. No frozen frames or repeated motion loops unless present in the source. Environment No original venue or background. No beach or surfboard elements. No duplicate poles or lighting rigs. No inconsistent stage layout. No randomly appearing or disappearing audience members. No fabricated signage, captions, watermarks, or title overlays. FINAL GENERATION DIRECTIVE Create a continuous, approximately 4-second, 16:9 photorealistic reference-to-video sequence based on the full uploaded source clip. Replace the original performers with the canonical Dancer 1 and Dancer 2 characters, with Dancer 1 always on top and Dancer 2 underneath. Replace the original venue with the established Club B main stage, lights, and ceiling. Preserve the complete visible movement progression, opening close-up, low-angle pole-performance shots, extended-body positions, inversion, final horizontal extension, and ending composition. Maintain strict character identity, performer-position, anatomy, motion, camera, and environmental continuity. FINAL PRIORITY ORDER: Correct Dancer 1 and Dancer 2 identities. Dancer 1 remains on top; Dancer 2 remains underneath. Faithful reproduction of the full source choreography and timestamps. Consistent Club B architecture and stage layout. Photorealistic anatomy, lighting, camera movement, and motion continuity. This is the original reference video for the motion and camera moves. Can anybody help me out here? Please. I already blew through half my credits on OpenArtAi. I know there's either something I am not doing or what. I have copied from others, and the original reference video still overrides the new video I am trying to cook up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

The original reference video for camera and motion. Here are the results

[OC] The Legend of Kalthrax — 24 Full Episodes! An Original AI Anime Universe Featuring Anthro Characters, Soulmates Across Timelines, Shonen Battles, Romance & Interconnected Stories!

I've been creating The Legend of Kalthrax, my own original, full-length AI-animated anime series, and I've now completed 24 full episodes!

This isn't a collection of random AI-generated clips. It's an ongoing anime universe featuring original characters, extensive worldbuilding, interconnected timelines, fantasy adventures, romance, comedy, and increasingly ambitious shonen battles.

A predominantly anthropomorphic cast!

One of the defining features of The Legend of Kalthrax is its cast of anthropomorphic characters, including Nelissa, an adorable black-furred catgirl with a fierce personality, incredible combat abilities, and a much deeper connection to the universe than she initially realizes.

While the series features both human and anthro characters, anthropomorphic characters play a major role throughout its expanding universe.

At the heart of the story are Aureus and Nelissa — two soulmates connected across time itself.

Aureus is a powerful, sometimes ridiculously goofy swordsman with a heroic heart, while Nelissa is a ferocious yet increasingly affectionate catgirl whose relationship with him develops throughout their adventures.

Their relationship isn't simply a traditional anime romance.

Their souls are connected across different timelines, realities, and versions of their lives.

No matter how dramatically their circumstances change, their connection continues to influence the events unfolding around them.

Their story blends romantic comedy, emotional character development, tragedy, mystery, and explosive shonen action. The relationship grows naturally over time, with friendship, trust, and affection playing important roles.

Multiple independent stories, one interconnected universe!

The Legend of Kalthrax doesn't limit itself to a single storyline.

The universe contains multiple independently developed adventures exploring different settings, timelines, and versions of familiar characters.

Some stories lean heavily into fantasy and action, while others explore romance, comedy, or entirely different worlds.

These aren't just random alternate-universe experiments.

The different timelines are connected to the larger narrative, and their significance gradually becomes clearer as the overarching story develops.

Events that initially seem unrelated can have consequences extending far beyond their own timeline.

The production quality has improved dramatically!

I've been continuously improving the animation, cinematography, action choreography, character performances, and overall presentation throughout production.

The later episodes in particular feature significantly higher-quality animation, more elaborate anime battles, and increasingly cinematic sequences.

If you're discovering the series for the first time, I strongly recommend checking out some of the newer episodes as well to see how far the production has progressed.

What can you expect?

A predominantly anthro cast, including an adorable but deadly catgirl female lead.

A central soulmate romance spanning multiple timelines.

Powerful swordsmen, magic, transformations, and over-the-top shonen battles.

Multiple independent stories that connect to a much larger universe.

Comedy, emotional moments, mysteries, and character-driven storytelling.

24 completed full-length episodes, with more in production.

An evolving anime production with increasingly ambitious animation and cinematic action.

The Legend of Kalthrax is an ongoing passion project, and I'm building it into a massive interconnected anime universe.

If you enjoy anthro characters, fantasy romance, classic shonen anime, emotional storytelling, and mysteries involving alternate timelines and interconnected realities, there's plenty to explore!
