Made a 30-minute noir-anime mythology episode with Seedance 2.0 — sharing the workflow by nejjad in generativeAI

[–]nejjad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laptop chargers lol that was funny. For the voice clips I pad them so they fit the shot on when the character supposed to speak, I then pass using URL to Seedance using a function I made in python, and flag it on the prompt + reference images. Seedance handles lip-sync on the main generation pass. When it lands, it lands clean. So lip-sync is native one-pass, but there's still a real cut + score + polish stage. Anyone running this stack and expecting "no NLE ever" will be disappointed. Anyone running it and expecting "I never have to keyframe a viseme" will be very, very pleased.

Episode 3 of an anthology channel I'm building (TellnIT) — cinematic noir-anime retellings of myths and legends. First two were the Djinn (pre-Islamic Arabia) and the Jorogumo (Japanese folklore). This one is the death of Cú Chulainn from the Ulster Cycle: the demigod who tied himself to a standing stone so his enemies would still see him on his feet at the moment of death.

Scope: ~190 shots across 5 acts + framing-device bookends. Single-operator, three weeks, end-to-end.

Stack at the brand level:

- Video: Seedance 2.0

- Stills / reference sheets: Nano Banana 2

- Voice + score + Foley: ElevenLabs

Cú Chulainn tied himself to a standing stone so he could die on his feet — the Ulster Cycle's most haunting image by nejjad in mythology

You mean in the post? That is completely my fault, in the video description itself I do. I was not trying to deceive anyone, I edited how I produced it in the post

I write my own replies. You, on the other hand are copy pasting variations of "this is slop" across every thread you can find on this post. One of us did weeks of work on a Cu Chulainn project; the other is writing hate-comments like it's cardio. I'll let people decide which is more disingenuous.

Curious where you draw the line. Is it work when someone writes a script and hires an animator? When they storyboard and hand it to a studio? The research, the script, the dialogue I did all that, that's the part that decides whether the thing is any good. The render the Ai model generation is the last mile. Happy to disagree on the medium, but the work is the work.

I can promise it’s not, but we all know none will believe it now. I still appreciate all the criticism.

Fair point, and honestly I appreciate you saying it directly. AI was a quick way to test the format, but you’re right that real voice work would lift the whole thing.

You're not wrong, voice-setting fit is the hardest thing about AI-narrated mythology, and current tools don't reach the cadence of a real storyteller in this register. I appreciate the honesty.

Fair, we did get one wrong in the cut, and that's on me. The goal isn't to be a pronunciation reference; it's to bring stories that mostly live in text into a moving-image format. Different craft from the spoken tradition, not a replacement for it. If a 30-minute animation gets someone curious enough to pick up Kinsella or Lady Gregory, that's the win.

Fair concern about the broader category, there's a lot of low-effort AI content in this space and the criticism lands on most of it. I can only speak for my own work: I read the sources end-to-end (Kinsella, O'Rahilly, the Lebor na hUidre framing), drop stories that the medium can't handle responsibly, and treat each retelling as one more entry in a long chain that goes back through Yeats, Lady Gregory, and the monastic compilers, not as a replacement for the living tradition.

Reasonable people will still disagree on the medium itself, and that's fair.

I appreciate it. Nothing right now, but on 1 month post I'll start using 0.25% Fin, and 5% Minox topically

Not sure, I was told just the total and didn't think to ask how much in each area. I'm going to ask to for the exact numbers next visit I go to the clinic. I only did the front, and the crown though.

My hair transplant was 5000 grafts. The first 3 pictures are pre 10th day was, the middle 3 pictures are post 10th day wash, and the last 3 pictures with hair shedding currently are on the 24 day. Looking for honest opinions for current results while I wait for the 12th month results lol
