[Layne The Nihon Warrior @LayneTNW]

You might still remember the internet as a place of freedom, a digital world where creativity flourished, where artists, musicians, writers, and innovators found their voices and shared their visions. But by the time I came of age, that world had crumbled.

How do you teach an AI agent wing chun?

New video for @invideoOfficial : I break down the rooftop fight test scene for my upcoming feature film 2043.

The hard part wasn't the look. It was the choreography: getting the agent to understand stance, centerline, chain punches. I had to teach it the style before it could shoot the scene.

Built on what was Agent One back then, now Agent Two.

Full breakdown 👇

2043 update!

The screenplay is locked in, and the production for the feature movie is officially started.

I need to thank @ImagineArt_X for keeping me warm with credits. This project wouldnt exist without this support.

Check out a few still frames, taken from the first 5 minutes of the film.

One of the most revered traits in the Genuine Undead discord continues to be the Nihon Paint

A rare < 1% attribute in GU and the inspiration for @LayneTNW’s assault on OmniCom

Beware these cyberpunk yakuza and their unforgiving nature

You asked for it!

The first fight scene for the forthcoming "2043" feature film is here.

Look: most AI fight scenes look the same, nice but very generic. Sometimes, those blows don't even make sense.

This one is 100% intentional: every hit, every step, is directed.

But most of all, this is real Wing Chun, the kung fu style made famous by Ip Man and Bruce Lee: chain punches, bong sao, tan sao, open palm to the centerline.

Choreography consulted with my own sifu, Gianni De Nittis.

Built with @invideoOfficial Agent One, pulling references from my own IP and putting all together by using the top tools like Nano Banana Pro, @dreamina_ai Seedance 2.0, ElevenLabs, all coordinated by a single agent.

InVideo granted me privileged access and the credits to make it happen.

This is 2043.

2043 THE MOVIE update!

@invideoOfficial just gave me access to their Agent One. And it's kind of a game changer for IP-driven filmmaking.

Here's how it works: you feed it everything about your world: characters, locations, color palette, lighting references, lore. Register your IP first (I use @Patamu_ita), then lock it all in.

From that point, it's like working with an intern who actually read the brief. You direct. It executes, pulling assets, jumping into ElevenLabs, Nano Banana Pro or Seedance 2.0, coming back with images, voices, video. The more you push back on what works and what doesn't, the sharper it gets.

I didn't test it with a fight scene. Everyone does that.
I gave it an intimate dialogue, the kind most people avoid because it's hard to get right.

The result? Everything locked in with my worldbuilding. Dialogues, location, vehicles. Nothing random. Nothing off-brand.

For a first real test, I'm genuinely impressed.

I've been planning the rewards for my upcoming Kickstarter campaign for 2043 the Movie.

You see some of the content here first!

Btw, combining items and backgrounds for the perfect consistency is a breeze when you have all your assets in one place, and use nb as you would use photoshop.

Thanks to @ImagineArt_X for supporting this journey!

Everyone is posting ultra-cinematic martial arts clips with Seedance 2.0.
Bruce Lee. Brad Pitt. Pre-existing IP. Easy virality.
I’ll wait.

Meanwhile, here’s something different.

This rooftop sequence is a test scene from my upcoming film 2043.
No existing actors.
No borrowed IP.
No preset fight choreography.

Just original characters, worldbuilding, and direction.
Built using a mix of @Kling_ai 01, Kling 3.0, Kling motion control, and @grok Imagine,
edited manually, shot by shot.

This isn’t a death match.
It’s training between 2 friends.
It’s tension.
It’s intention.
Curious to see what Seedance 2.0 can do.

But the real question is:

When models get better…
do they still shine without leaning on existing IP?

The real test isn’t recreating Bruce Lee. It’s building something original and making it just as powerful.

This has been the most fun project I’ve done in a long time.

Especially because my 11-year-old son was my co-creator.

I don’t know a better way to introduce a kid to AI than this:
building a short film together, starting from the characters we both love.

People of X
I’m proud to present the first episode of “L’Uomo Tigre”,
inspired by the 1969 Toei Animation classic “Tiger Mask”.

Tools used:
my Nothing Phone camera
a few original action figures
@xai @grok Imagine

The animations we got are honestly incredible,
and the Italian narration (exactly how my son wanted it) makes it even more special. English subs provided.

AI as play.
AI as storytelling.
AI as something human.

Enjoy 🐯✨

A little story about Layne.

As many of you know, the entire 2043 universe, and Layne himself, is deeply inspired by @GenuinelyUndead’s art.

One question comes up often: why doesn’t Layne wear the original thug jacket?

The truth is very simple and very technical.

When I created the first Layne the Nihon Warrior comic, AI was Midjourney v4. Prompts couldn’t handle too many tokens, and complex details like colors, stripes and textures were almost impossible to control consistently.

The green army jacket was a workaround.
Looking back, it became part of Layne’s identity: rugged, functional, stripped of excess. Honestly, I can’t really imagine him without it now.

Today, of course, swapping outfits is easy. And for the 2043 shop, I even designed a darker version of the jacket: black, minimal, with the skull & bones logo.

So I’m curious:
what’s your favorite Layne outfit?
And should the original thug jacket make a comeback in the feature film?

[UndeadEd @GenuineUndeadEd]

@Sygo__ @GenuinelyUndead @LayneTNW I reckon Layne would look great in a cyber outfit

While everyone in the AI community is celebrating the Disney–Sora deal, I mostly see the old IP holders trying to save themselves.

AI could already generate Iron Man or Darth Vader yesterday. That was never the point.

What this really does is steer creators back toward remixing existing franchises instead of creating new ones.

Turning creators into unpaid extensions of legacy IP is not innovation.
It’s distraction.

My only goal with these tools is to build new worlds,
new characters, new IP, something that didn’t exist before.

That takes time.
That takes risk.
And that’s exactly what they don’t want us to do.
