I just completed “Stake,” a short AI-driven gothic horror scene following a stranger’s descent into an ancient crypt. Created as a filmmaking assignment focused on cinematic atmosphere, tension, camera movement, and visual continuity. Link to the full version below.

Experimenting with AI-driven worldbuilding using a node-based workflow in @Magnific_AI.

Starting with a basic concept, then generating rules, materials, culture, characters, environments, and visual language.

Concept Input:
“A savage, desolate planet living in the dark ages. Robot barbarians have risen to take over the world. No humans — only idealized male and female robot warriors carrying swords. They survive among the war-torn remains of an apocalypse. The robot armor is white with bold blue and black stripes.”

This was the shot where everything changed.
In the beats leading up, we gradually brought Yoda upright, so when the saber comes out, he’s no longer frail, but centered, grounded, ready to unleash.

The goal was to lead the audience into a version of Yoda they hadn’t seen, without announcing it. By the time he ignites, the transformation is already complete.

I just completed "Lockdown", a short AI-driven scene exploring a moment of tension with a touch of action, focused on performance, pacing, and visual continuity. Watch to the end for BTS (sound on).

Thank you, @ArfKeldo , for the shoutout in Light & Magic season 2, highlighting Yoda’s lightsaber moment from Attack of the Clones. CG was new, risky, and truly magical back then. Grateful to have been part of that era. If you haven’t seen it, give it a watch. #LightAndMagic

RT or like if Bluth’s masterpiece, “The Secret of NIMH” rocked your world and changed what you thought animation could be.

@Steve_Aplin @halhickel I believe they all came from Disney to work on Casper right before I started there. ‘93 or early ‘94. I think some also worked on the buffalo herd in Lion King.

@halhickel Isn't that a trip. I was in college studying computer animation and so impressed by this short at the time.

[Tim Harrington @timanimator]

This is insane.

@lucasridley Reminds me of a story I heard from a talented 2D animator. He was applying for a job that called for animal animation, The client reviews his reel (which had many animals) then says "I see you haven't done any elephants" Like that was the deal breaker.

@elonmusk You should of had a blue twitter bird in the Macy's thanksgiving day parade.

@_ChemaHdez @RinglingCollege The only place it ever screened was Ringling. Then it was sent to the major studios as a VHS demo reel. I did a lot of interviews then ILM heard about through the grapevine. Crazy it was considered a stand out film for the time.
