BAFTA award winning editor makes an ai film with @WonderStudiosX + @capcutapp
This is just the beginning.. film screening going down in our creative studio / church tomorrow night ๐ฎ

Here's a peek into @HalWatmough 's (@___Edit9) filmmaking workflow in @capcutapp ๐ฌ
This clip of Shona was built frame by frame - starting with a character reference image generated in Nano Banana, fed into an agent as the first frame, then iterated with cinematic prompts: handheld, dynamic, specific lighting and camera preferences.
The magic is in the back-and-forth. You see what works, give feedback, get suggestions, and fine-tune, without rolling from scratch every time. The agent holds all your references so your vision stays consistent throughout.
This is what AI-assisted storytelling looks like in practice. โจ
Such a shame that the trolls got to a creative trying to push the boundaries with technology. Animation as an art form has been been driven by new tools and technology since its the very beginning..
But trolls get a hold of the narrative, manifesting serious negative actions in the very place where a creative like this should be..
This is a loss for creativity as a whole.. and a huge shame that bullying and misinformed fear mongering got the best of this one.
just copy the prompt below and paste on Utopai
the PAI agent turns it into script, create storyline, generate clips and edit all by itself
prompt:
High-energy 3D CGI animated comedy short, Pixar quality, ultra-detailed character animation, exaggerated physics, vibrant colors, warm orange kitchen lighting with glowing flames, bright daylight city streets, dynamic camera work with fast pans, tilts and dramatic angles, subtle motion blur on fast movements, comedic timing and expressions, upbeat energetic music with whooshes and impacts.
**Main Character Casting Descriptions:**
- **Pizza Chef - Jack (main actor in kitchen)**: Early 50s energetic male, messy silver hair, large prominent nose, thick expressive eyebrows, sharp intense eyes, fair skin with slight blush from heat. Wears white double-breasted chef jacket, wear white chef hat with text โel.cineโ in front, gree neckerchief. Highly animated face โ furrowed brows, focused squint, dramatic determination turning to exhaustion.
- **Pizza Delivery Guy - Tom (main actor on street/scooter)**: Late teens/early 20s lanky male, long blue hair, huge expressive brown eyes, long nose, very animated facial expressions (surprise, determination, panic, relief). Wears white helmet with spinning yellow propeller on to, light blue leather with text el.cine at back, white pants, sneakers. Fast, exaggerated movements.
- **Customer (final shot)**: Large, middle-aged stern woman, brown hair, heavy eyebrows, downturned mouth, wearing beige suit jacket, white shirt, dark trousers. Standing in doorway with impatient/annoyed expression.
SHOT 1 (0:00โ0:02) โ Cinematic fast motion, dramatic low angle with subtle Dutch tilt and intense push-in: fast push from kitchen wide shot to close up on the Pizza Chefโs face in the bustling kitchen. He grips the large pepperoni pizza on a metal tray with raw, over-the-top determination โ brows dramatically furrowed into deep angry V-shapes, eyes sharply narrowed with a fierce glint and slight crazy wideness at the edges, teeth gritted in heroic effort, dramatic sweat beads flying off his forehead. Bright orange flames explode upward from the pizza in the foreground with massive sparks and heat waves licking toward his face.
Dynamic camera orbits left while pushing in for maximum tension, subtle motion blur on the flames. Background shows chaotic kitchen with stacked pizza boxes, glowing ovens, and flying embers.
SHOT 2 (0:02โ0:04) โ Medium close-up, eye-level: Chef lifts the flaming pizza higher with both hands, leans forward, eyes wide with concentration as flames lick upward toward his face.
SHOT 3 (0:04โ0:06) โ Medium shot, eye-level, dynamic pan: Chef dramatically spins the flaming pizza on the peel in a huge fiery arc above his head, left hand on forehead in dramatic pose, right arm extended. Flames trail in a perfect circle.
SHOT 4 (0:06โ0:08) โ Low-angle dramatic shot looking up: Chef tosses the flaming pizza high into the air with both hands. The camera follows the spinning fiery pizza as it arcs toward the ceiling tiles.
SHOT 5 (0:08โ0:10) โ Extreme low-angle on ceiling: The flaming pizza spins in a perfect circle of fire against the tiled ceiling, sparks flying.
SHOT 6 (0:10โ0:12) โ Wide dynamic shot, low angle: Chef does a full acrobatic flip in mid-air, upside-down, catching the flaming pizza behind his back while still in the air.
SHOT 7 (0:12โ0:14) โ Wide action shot, eye-level: Chef lands in a wide stance, spins the flaming pizza on one hand like a basketball, then dramatically throws it forward toward the open doorway with full body power, flames trailing, quick push in and follow the close up of the flying pizza in slow motion
SHOT 8 (0:14โ0:16) โ Medium shot on street, eye-level: Pizza Delivery Guy stands outside the shop holding an empty pizza box, looking down at his watch with bored expression, propeller on helmet slowly spinning.
SHOT 9 (0:16โ0:18) โ Medium close-up, eye-level: Chef (partially visible inside doorway) throws the flaming pepperoni pizza directly toward the Delivery Guy. Delivery Guy looks up with wide-eyed shock.
SHOT 10 (0:18โ0:20) โ Medium shot, eye-level: slow motion, close up of the flaming pizza flies straight into the open pizza box held by the Delivery Guy. Flames whoosh past his face as he catches it perfectly.
SHOT 11 (0:20โ0:22) โ Close-up on Delivery Guyโs face: His eyes go extremely wide in surprise, mouth open, propeller spinning faster, and talk excitedly
SHOT 12 (0:22โ0:24) โ Extreme close-up on smartphone screen held in hand: Red digital timer clearly shows โ00:30โ counting down.
SHOT 13 (0:24โ0:26) โ Close-up on Delivery Guyโs face: Expression changes from shock to intense determination โ eyebrows lowered, mouth set in a smirk, eyes focused.
SHOT 14 (0:26โ0:50 end) โ Wide tracking shot from behind, fast-paced: Delivery Guy jumps on his purple scooter and speeds away down the sunny city street, pizza box secured on the back. Camera follows as he weaves between cars, jumps over red-and-white construction barriers, rides up stairs, does rooftop jumps, and finally stops smoothly in front of a house. He turns with a confident smile as the stern Customer opens the door and stares at him and says with an angry tone โyou are lateโ cut to Tom smiling awkwardly and scratch the back of his head, he takes the pizza from his back and suddenly he slide and fall down on the ground
Cinematic 3D CGI animation style, highly exaggerated comedic action, perfect continuity of the flaming pizza and characters, dynamic camera movements exactly matching the original videoโs pacing, framing, and energetic tone. Photorealistic 3D render quality, 1080p, 24fps.

Peter Jackson on AI being used in film
โI donโt dislike it at all ... to me, itโs just a special effect"
โAs long as youโve licensed the rights to do that off the person youโre showing, I donโt see the issue"

The quality of animation you can create on your own is truly amazing. We really are just limited by our imaginations at this point. Go tell your story!
