I recently spoke with animation veteran Matt Ferguson about my career journey through all the shifts the animation industry has gone through, and why I decided to fully embrace AI after decades in traditional animation. The tools may have changed, but the drive to tell stories remains the same.

Proud of Quebec and Canada 💪🇨🇦

✨ Thrilled to share that WiNTERHOLLOW is a finalist at the OMNI AI Film Festival in Sydney, Australia! 🇦🇺 So happy to see my little film getting some love on the other side of the world.

Fun test with Hailuo Minimax I2V-01-Director 🎬 The camera controls are a blast 🔥🌟 Used Hedra for lipsync, Imagen3 (Freepik) for images, and made the music in Udio, featuring lyrics that some French viewers might recognize from Johnny Hallyday’s “Ma Gueule”.

Winterhollow is a haunting forest where beauty conceals danger, and strange, eerie forces lurk. Travelers, drawn by its glow, face surreal trials and chilling legends, with few ever escaping its grip. #Midjourney, #Hailuo #Minimax, #Kling, #Elevenlabs, #Capcut, #ChatGPT, Music from Mixkit

The planet is on fire and we elected arsonists.

For those evacuating with pets in LA: Hilton’s Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Embassy Suites, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton, Tru and Canopy brands are all 100% pet friendly. Even cats! And a lot of hotels are waiving pet fees atm. Good on u Hilton! Pun intended: that’s hot.

Planet Fitness locations in Los Angeles are “offering anyone impacted by the fires—first responders and residents—free access to shower, recharge, and relax” No membership is required to take advantage of locker rooms, WiFi, charging stations at any LA County location not impacted by the fires.

Hailuo AI MiniMax gave me a week of unlimited access, so I decided to put it to the test. I tried animating some oddly constructed characters I had made in Midjourney, to see how it would handle them. Midjourney, Hailuo, ChatGPT, Elevenlabs and Capcut. #AI #hailuoai #minimax #aitools
