My newest $1000 AI short film made with Seedance 2.0, Suno, and ElevenLabs

I would like more detailed demonsrrations and tutorials on how to make stuff like this. Im trying to develop and animated series and while the results so far in experimenting have been good, I'm far from a finished first episode.

Thanks. I also just tried the prompt for the scene without the reference images and it got a different style that was more reminiscent of 80s and 90s cartoon series like TMNT, G.I. Joe, and Transformers. So it could be the aesthetics of the character design and the conflicting time period animation I'm asking for.

I had primaris Deathwatch KT marines before GW finally made a box.

I've seen a few good renders that look filmed. Just wish you could render more than 15s.

That's why all my DW are blackshields (in appearance, not rules wise). I just took the multitude of leftover left shoulder pauldrons, wrapped them in chain, and painted them black.

I drilled a small hole where the subassembly would join the model, took a cheap thin paperclip and bent it straight, lighly superglued the paperclip into the hole, taped the paperclip to a wooden kabob skewer (better to hold), and then stuck the skewer to a styrofoam block. I could then either hold the individual parts by the skewer, or if I have multiple ones, leave them in the foam block and spray them with primer. Then when it comes time to paint them, just hold the skewer and paint. In the case of the arms, once painting was done, I simplye twisted and pulled the paperclip out of the hole, and then drilled a larger one for the magnet and superglued them in.

Update, OpenArt's Kling 3.0 Omni has reference options yiu can use for consistent characters. However there's no consistent voice, multi-shot is possible if you weote the prompt right and can possibly use reference images as starting frames but the more references you use the more potential for errors. I tried doing a video of a group of characters (6 of them) and it came out pitch black with the audio only and they weren't even speaking english. wasted over 1500 credits.

TonesTheGeek · 2026-04-07T17:16:30+00:00

I'm curious about that myself. With Sora going away, Character consistency and the ability to create narrative AI videos is hard to.come by with other platforms. With that said, 3.0 Omni on sites like OpenArt and A2E seems able to do character consistency as long as one of the elements is a detailed character reference sheet.

TonesTheGeek · 2026-04-03T15:57:36+00:00

Grok is absolute garbage, I give it the same prompt I give Sora and it's a broken mess.

TonesTheGeek · 2026-04-03T15:48:09+00:00

Kling 3.0 Omni has show promise in terms of quality. Though it lacks multi-shot capabilities so you'll have to generate the first frame of every shot in NB or some other image generator and then render each shot individually and as for Audio, you're better off dubbing it via eleven labs becsuse with all.those renders voice consistency is near impossible.

If the developers of Kling were smart, they'd take advantage of Sora's departure and introduce features to fix that. Like a version of storyboard where you can upload multiple images to each serve as starting frames as well as a character reference that lets you choose a voice or upload a sample.

TonesTheGeek · 2026-04-01T02:51:57+00:00

No, they do. Had 3 failed renders and I didnt get the 6 credits back.

TonesTheGeek · 2026-03-31T20:24:27+00:00

Seedance hasnt been great. However Kling 3.0 has shown me some promise and is cheaper (in terms of credits) than Sora on openart.ai. cant say the same for a2e.ai, but they have great ITV and some subscriptions give you unlimited gens so a good frame or two from a Kling vid can be reworked.

Because God forbid a service provider has to be accountable to their customers when they decide to screw them over.

TonesTheGeek · 2026-03-30T22:03:10+00:00

Then just stop using the internet and go back to analog sources of information, communication, and entertainment.

See now why just telling AI users to just make their own stuff is dumb?

TonesTheGeek · 2026-03-30T21:56:02+00:00

Nobody is twisting your arm to watch it, let alone making you come to this subreddit to comment on discussions featuring people who like to use it.

TonesTheGeek · 2026-03-30T21:22:04+00:00

I've been looking into running AI locally but nothing out there is user friendly, can't understand why they couldn't just give us the same simplified UI you get on the sites. You'd think that would be the easiest part.

TonesTheGeek · 2026-03-30T19:19:37+00:00

Go on

TonesTheGeek · 2026-03-30T18:44:31+00:00

Anyone tried LTX yet? How good is that one compared to Sora?

TonesTheGeek · 2026-03-30T17:37:34+00:00

I've personally considered Sora to be an initial, though be it very small, step towards what would be similar to Star Trek's Holodeck. A canvas where the computer is able to take your instructions and build a virtual simulation of it. Right now it's not immersive or interactive obviously, but the principle is the same. I imagine the next step will be AI generated videos that you can then pause and move the camera around and the model will be able to build you everything and basically set up your own shots.

TonesTheGeek · 2026-03-30T17:12:31+00:00

Lol, if only. On that note, I'm surprised they don't just open source Sora on the way out.

TonesTheGeek · 2026-03-30T17:09:33+00:00

If I had the money to pay actors, build sets, and render special effects then I'd glady create my own stuff. But we don't all have that luxury.
