    Hi there 👋 Man oh man, Seedance 2.0 has the same feel to me as Midjourney - it's a creative sandbox. A few simple prompts opens endless options for world building - below are the prompts I've found work like a charm 🤌🧵

    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! 🧵

    The AI animation space is on fire. I made this in an hour. Nano banana has supercharged character and scene consistency. This was created using a single image - the start frame. Props to @framer_x for introducing me to Seedance. It's the current front runner for motion.

    Bob actually posting on X is outrageous. You’d think it would deflate the folkloric bigness of him and pulls him down here with the heathens, yet instead it’s maddeningly fascinating

    Grok is a sleeping giant for AI animation Tested the collage hack from @framer_x - upload one image of your characters + environment + a prompt The results are MIGHTY impressive Also ran the same prompts in Veo 3.1 and the differences are surprising Results + prompts below 👇

    Breakdown of the new AI Coca-Cola ad! Think AI animation is “easy”? Think again It’s story, design, illustration, animation - the full grind. Real artistry powered by tech AI’s not the shortcut, it’s the secret weapon. Master it and you’re unstoppable x.com/secret__level/…

    As a parent of two small kiddos I had to carve out late-night hours to create my first ever AI short film... I broke every rule: no script, no storyboard, just a riff. 'Quarter Notes' is a New Orleans jazz-filled love letter to collaboration. Here’s how I pulled it off:

    AI animation is revolutionary It gives independent creators tools that once required studios - lowering the barrier between imagination and screen After two decades in animation, this feels like a moment A wave has started. Those who ride it will shape the stories of tomorrow

    So I just tried the Grok Imagine update and...yeah, Grok is winning hard. This is a sequence from my hand-drawn animated film, now re-imagined with Grok. I always wanted to make these type of scenes, but couldn't because of manpower. Now, with Grok, I can.

    Well…this made quite the splash - 4M views in 72 hours 🤯 Love it or hate it, one thing’s very clear: AI art is having a cultural moment. See for yourself - here’s the Pixar-style short, the workflow breakdown, and my custom GPT to help you craft your own. 👇

    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.

    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
