Meet "Tawan" (ตะวัน means “The sun” 🌞)
20-min Demo
AI Animated Film experiment (full feature is 90 mins)
With a $500 budget and 1.5 months of work, this story is based on my original idea from 2010... and today, the technology is finally ready to bring it to life.
AI showed me that solo creators can now manage an entire animation workflow. No need to pitch to big studios—you can fund yourself and bring your own stories to life. Without AI, this would still be stuck in my head.
(Of course, the quality is still far from high-budget films from big studios that have 300-600 people behind them, but I think the gap will close step by step in the future.)
This animated created by Seedance 2.0 on @dreamina_ai and @kinovi_ai and opening scene by @midjourney - thank you for watching.
Please check out my manga work! Created with a hybrid workflow: Storyboard ➡️ AI (Nano Banana) ➡️ Manual Edit.
Hope this story helps you escape reality for a while. Glad we crossed paths! Read here: https://t.co/SmWUULlLHn #MANGAPlusCreators
3D Fan Art: Ippo Makunouchi vs. Hisato Kojima.
Inspired by the legendary manga Hajime no Ippo by George Morikawa. I specifically wanted to capture the sheer dynamics of Chapter 939 (Pages 8-9) and translate that incredible 2D shape language into 3D.
