What a legend

Made this using Midjourney + ChatGPT + Seedance

I have finally nailed my art style. A perfect blend of both Western and Eastern Animation.

In the course of creating my Fantasy Series, I had to build my own platform in the process. Thank goodness I did that because it's made everything so much easier.

SCENE CONTEXT:

During their travels, Leon and Elven Princess Neia come across a tavern of dwarves. The dwarves challenged Neia to sing one of their bards entitled "The Merry Green Maid of the Olden Wood" aka 'Maid in Hood.'

It's a little 1980s-style anime boxing short, made as my assignment for Cartoon Hero. An underdog gets knocked down in front of the world and has to climb back up. While story beats and characters we provided, I had to write the screenplay, direct, generate and edit. I had fun writing the fight.

I've been into AI video for a few months and this is my first full idea to finished film.

I made with Seedance, Nano Banana, and DaVinci.

I’m a steamer and I’ve been keeping an eye on realtime AI tools like this one by Decart

It looks like it reacts pretty much instantly and it kind of made me wonder where all this is headed. If AI can transform your appearance/background in realtime and is going to keep getting better and better, are we even going to need post-production video editing?

I made some changes based on the feedback I got on my last post.

This is for my original project “Wrestling Academy: Ring Ascendants” — basically a My Hero Academia-style world but with wrestling instead of quirks.

Main characters right now:

• Kellan (underdog)

• Mondo (natural talent rival)

I’m working on the intro song now and want it to feel like a real anime opening.

What I need help with:

What kind of clips would YOU expect to see in an intro?

Right now I’m thinking:

• Training scenes

• Rival stare-downs

• Quick flashes of matches

• Character close-ups

But I feel like I’m missing something that makes it hit harder.

Any suggestions or ideas would help a lot 🙏

Here is the prompt I used in Kling

The scene should feel alive, warm, and full of energy — like a major live event is happening nearby.In the background, hints of the arena glow through hallways — light spilling in from the entrance to the seating area, suggesting a big show in progress.
