Animated teaser for new pre-school series I'm developing, FIREFLIES. For the first time, new tools and workflows and models like Kling/Veo/Nano Banana have made feature animation quality possible on a limited series budget. How-to video coming soon!

THE LIGHT WITHIN

A concept trailer powered by Nano Banana Pro 🍌

I haven’t been impressed by new AI tools lately but this one swept me off my feet.

The kicker?
I used Google Flow and a few wild tricks to get perfect consistency.

Here's a step-by-step full breakdown 🧵

@joshwhiton The real tell? A rhetorical question that’s then answered.

[Josh Whiton @joshwhiton]

The emdash isn’t even the biggest AI tell. Not even close. It’s this peculiar structure:

This isn’t just <x mundane phrasing >. It’s <y more hyperbolic phrasing>.

This misconception isn’t just an attack on the emdash. It’s an assault on our right to punctuate freely.

@IamEmily2050 How can I DM you? I think we have a lot to talk about / show-and-tell!

@dooartlabs @BlendiByl dude just change the scale to make the blocks smaller and you've built fully 3d environments??

[Nick Confalone @nickconfalone]

@rus I think about that article a lot, where you guys said biggest thing you learned was "never sell your company." lol cry cry cry

[Nick Confalone @nickconfalone]

@dooartlabs it surprised me too haha, and actually really threw me for a loop! Took a minute to be able to write again.

This week's New Yorker piece about Aphantasia is by far the most accurate account of what it's like, as one of many ways people can experience the world (albeit I identify with people quoted who don't think much about things that aren't in front of me ha). https://t.co/r0d5d3e9Ad

@AIWarper seedream f*cks so hard, I'm obsessed

[Nick Confalone @nickconfalone]

@framer_x Yowzaaaa, this is awesome. I just sent you a DM - hope to hear from you!

[Nick Confalone @nickconfalone]

So excited for the world to see ALL HEART. There's a pervasive narrative out there that generative tech can't be used to make anything emotional / human. I think this film puts that pretty much to bed. https://t.co/eImzCYlvkk

@Lordofacca oh snap IT'S ONNNNN
