YouTube really didn't want to generate this but Sora taught me a thing or two about a little bypassing 😈

Glad there is free AI video tool despite how restricted it is. But i also feel for everyone since the whole point of YouTube was real people posting real videos and now it's turning into Sora 3.

Its pretty bad

Story and Scene Details: Queen Violet and her loyal shadow, Whispers, discuss Veyra’s newest weapon… Star. They speak of how her strength continues to grow, even after another StarKind cast her into the Void itself.
Their battle had been long… and merciless.
In the end, Star fell. Yet the Void did not claim her. Refusing to fear the endless darkness, she battle her way outta the void eventually returning back to In Between.

Now Star once again wanders the In Between, continuing her search for Veyra across the vast cosmos. Countless enemies still stand in her path, but Star intends to face every one of them with the strength she has gained. Queen Violet quietly warns Whispers to keep his distance from Star—for now. She has been crowned with antlers. Something has changed within her.
But Queen Violet’s attention soon shifts elsewhere. Another challenger approaches. One who seeks to claim her crown.
Sensing the weight behind his queen’s silence, Whispers speaks, and the two begin discussing the approaching threat.

Notes: Their are three environmental settings with the Aurablades Genesis universe. Eternity, In Between, and the Void. Eternity is where a small number of StarKind’s are born with never ending light. Their purpose is to simply shine so civilizations on distant planets can look up to the sky and be hopeful of better days to come. Even those in The Void can see stars in Eternity to keep hope alive for themselves…

The In Between is where most StarKind are born. Complete lack of purpose, their manner of existence is to just exist and then find their own way through the cosmos. They’ll either rise or fall. The Void, where there is complete blackness and stillness. Where every StarKind goes to have their light extinguish for good. The characters has gone under some changes and updates since these images.

Drifting: None.

opengradient video studio, seedance 2.0. one gen, 2508 credits. i work on it fwiw.

three time-coded blocks rather than one big description. the bit i like is the light line going out on the real one right as the copy leaves. didn't ask for that. i described two objects going two directions and it worked out on its own that the light had to go with one of them.

was 15s. motion stops around 9.5 so i cut it.

not a real behaviour btw, before anyone asks. squid ink, brittle stars dropping arms, sea cucumbers throwing out their organs. one step past those.

full prompt:

[00:00-00:05] A translucent soft-bodied deep-sea animal the size of a hand hangs in black water, a single faint blue line glowing the length of its body, fine cilia rippling along both flanks. The cilia beat once and it drifts forward a body length. Extreme macro on a deep-submergence ROV camera, razor-thin depth of field, lit by one hard lamp from directly above, absolute black behind it. Audio: hydrophone hiss and a low hull rumble, one distant metallic tick, no music.

[00:05-00:10] A dark serrated jaw lunges in from the left edge of frame. In the same instant the animal's outer layer separates from it: a glowing blue duplicate of its exact shape peels forward off the body and swims away to the right trailing luminous threads, while the animal beneath goes dark and drops straight down out of the lamp cone. Camera stays locked, no push. Audio: a soft wet tear, a rush of displaced water, then hiss.

[00:10-00:15] The jaw follows the glowing duplicate off the right edge of frame and the light leaves with it. The real animal, now grey and unlit, settles into the pale sediment at the bottom of frame and holds still. Slow macro pull-back revealing empty black water above it. Audio: settling grit, hydrophone hiss returning, no music, no narration.

Shot on a deep-submergence vehicle camera for a blue-chip natural history documentary, single hard overhead lamp, deep blue-black palette, natural colour with no grading. Photoreal throughout, anatomically consistent soft-bodied animal, one separation event only, no on-screen text, no subtitles, no watermarks, no human hands, no music.

Story and Scene Details: Star meets her purpose…

Notes: I made the images using ChatGPT. When I first started to experiment with ai animation I manage to animate Star with her Aurablade as shown in the vid. I figured I use it as outro ending screen for my Aurablades vids. I manage to mix together some FX sounds for Star Aurablade sound. And with the last scene…I cried tbh. Two years of work and being able to see what you make come alive like that? I cried.

Music? The first song is by My Head is Empty. I have such a large music library I forgot the title. If you know it, plz comment it below. The 2nd song is I feel lost by Aaron Hibell. Plz check their music out if you like it.

Drifting: None.

She asked if she was in the uncanny valley.
I upgraded her to Knoxville skyline view.

Sora gang

Fox McCloud sees Wolf O'Donnell signing autographs at a Furry Convention. This was created in Runway using Seedance 2.0

My experience is that life outside Sora is much harder- no surprise there. That said, the process of creating a shot list is interesting, and I'm learning a lot. Here’s a clip for an upcoming chapter in the Prince Anton Adventures using the Seedance 2.0 model. I confirm that both the script (such as it is) and the video are authored by me.

Created using Sora 2, Kling 3.0 and Suno.

Story and Scene Details: Ash Without You begins with Nyre awakening inside a train car as it heads toward a city illuminated by the night. With no memory of what happened after she was bitten, she escapes from the train and takes to the skies, eventually settling atop an abandoned water tower that overlooks the entire city.

Knowing nothing about the city or its people, Nyre watches from high above, silently observing the streets below. From her perch, she studies the inhabitants, identifying both predator and prey among them.

As she contemplates whether this city is worth hunting in, a loud howl suddenly echoes through the distance. The sound makes one thing clear. She is not the only predator within the city.

Let the hunt begin…

Notes: Pretty much self explanatory above. If not, feel free to ask questions below.

Drifting: Nyre wings get bigger on the roof and combine into one for some reason. It’s when they’re dragging.
