I Made an Anime with AI in 24 Hours - No Experience Needed!
Film & Animation
Introduction
The world of AI animation has reached new heights, especially with the recent release of P 1.0. Inspired by the stunning animations produced by the team, I decided to put this technology to the test and challenge myself to create a short anime in just 24 hours. Here's how it all unfolded.
Concept Development
My journey began with trying to come up with a compelling concept. After hours of scrolling through endless anime trailers and concept videos, I had a few ideas, but nothing resonated. I wanted a concept that people could relate to while showcasing the magic of AI. As time was ticking, I took a break, watching videos, and stumbled upon the GTA 6 trailer. It struck me—what if I transformed this iconic trailer into an anime? This challenge felt exciting, so I donned my creative hat, turned up the music, and dove in.
Scene Breakdown
To create a faithful adaptation, I first needed to dissect the GTA trailer into a detailed list of scenes. This breakdown was essential for understanding which shots and scenes needed to be generated. I then headed to the P 1.0 web app to begin crafting the anime visuals.
One of the standout new features was the modify region tool, which allowed me to select specific areas of the video to transform according to my prompts. I began with an initial shot—using the prompt “Sunset B wire fans gate Anime Studio Ghibli style.” The results were surprisingly impressive! I learned that generating multiple iterations often led to the best results.
Utilizing specific descriptions, negative prompts, and motion controls proved invaluable in refining the visuals to match my vision. For example, I focused on transforming just a character in one scene by highlighting her, thus keeping the background intact.
Optimizing Transformations
Not every scene was perfect right out of the gate. In some cases, particularly with motion-heavy shots, the output didn’t quite fit the vision. To overcome these challenges, I mixed techniques, sometimes opting for text-to-video transformations for specific scenes, especially when the original footage didn’t fit.
After generating over 200 videos and finalizing 40 clips, it was time to piece everything together. I turned to CapCut to assemble my anime adaptation.
Adding Voiceovers
To enhance the anime feel, I decided to include Japanese voiceovers. Since I’m not a voiceover artist, I used Eleven Lab’s AI-generated voices. I sifted through their library, selecting voices that matched my characters, wrote a simple script, translated it into Japanese, and generated the audio. The final result was a compelling blend of anime visuals and authentic-sounding voiceovers.
Conclusion
With every detail meticulously crafted—from vibrant scenes to immersive voiceovers—the moment had arrived to unveil the magical anime creation I had achieved in just 24 hours.
Enjoy the show!
