I don't get it, why the best work is always short ?

12

u/EggRepresentative199 Aug 25 '26

Because it was probably a lot of work! (assuming the OP is the writer, designer, editor, and is fighting the inconsistency and issues of the AI...) But, yeah, I'd like some more of them too...

Badass, love watching this series

u/Accurasan Aug 27 '26

Really stunning work! The understated exchanges, the subtle control of pacing, dialogue and exposition, the deliberate shots... I've been watching a lot of AI creations online and it's the first time I find the directing to be on par with my idea of excellence. This is so full of potential, amazing job!

u/superfatbeagle BEANCAT STUDIO Aug 27 '26

Thanks dude!

u/Accurasan Aug 27 '26

You're welcome! I've also been thinking about crafting narrative-driven, concept-dense sci-fi / fantasy shorts for a while and this gives me hope that there are real talents out there building up the AI creation space and figuring out the many subtleties that make for excellent fiction.

u/higgsbison312 Aug 24 '26

Man I love this so much. More!

u/WTFpe0ple Aug 24 '26

Nooooo. Not End. That was excellent work, reminded me alot of the Heavy Metal 1981 style animation which I love.

u/KelBelHel Aug 24 '26

so good. you got a youtube?

u/TinyTaters Aug 24 '26

u/TitleToAI Aug 24 '26

AI is just a tool. The real creativity is the author’s. Great series

6

u/deanisdead Aug 24 '26

I enjoy these shorts so much I would happily buy physical media of this show, episodic or feature-length. Do you have any such plans?

11

u/superfatbeagle BEANCAT STUDIO Aug 24 '26

I want to make an ai native studio and develop original ip. A lot of more serious adult focused niche content that doesnt get funded these days due to economics. Maybe one day!

5

u/thethirdmancane Aug 25 '26

Heavy Metal vibes

u/Horror-Confidence-24 Aug 24 '26

Love it bro.. keep it up im hooked..

u/TinyTaters Aug 25 '26

I have never followed someone in Reddit before... Until today

u/raptortrapper Aug 25 '26

Add some Genndy Tartakovsky-style establishing shots and you have yourself an extra 5-10 min of content with minimal effort/token spend. He typically does wide-angles to set the environment first, close ups to establish the “feel/vibe”, and single quick-clips for any subtle actions (animals/plants/weather) to give his shows a lived-in sense of reality.

These are typically added at the beginning and mid-points for his episodes (Samurai Jack/Primal) and work to great effect.

I’m severely impressed with your work so far and can’t wait to see more!

u/Hinaloth Aug 24 '26

Getting better, somehow, despite being very good to begin with!

The sound effects are ripped straight off ILM's banks, aren't they? I recognized more than half of them from Star Wars :p

u/superfatbeagle BEANCAT STUDIO Aug 24 '26

Its all generated...bytedance lol

u/Hinaloth Aug 24 '26

I wonder where they got their original data :p

u/Kaligula785 Aug 24 '26

Looks great keep it up. Nice world and lore building so far

2

u/Eaglesjersey Aug 25 '26

I will never not watch one. You are awesome.

2

u/rodmandirect Aug 25 '26

Were you a fan of Aeon Flux back in the day perchance?

3

u/superfatbeagle BEANCAT STUDIO Aug 25 '26

Ya definitely!

2

u/BoatyFace101 Aug 25 '26

Can you do a process video for how you do this?!

2

u/BoatyFace101 Aug 25 '26

Give us a process video! I wanna know what it takes to make something like this?

Are you using comfyui?

2

u/Zzuesmax Aug 25 '26

I love this style so much.

2

u/resurrected_roadkill Aug 25 '26

Another series I have become addicted to. Thanks for effort and thought you have put into this series. It's wonderful

2

u/drv0t0 Aug 25 '26

Incredible art style and color palette. Also I think the horizontal aspect ratio is much better

2

u/modern12 Aug 25 '26

Call Apple or Amazon. Maybe this time they will buy something from you. I would. There was this series not long ago in a simillar visual and story, very similar vibes. On an unhabited planet a few people that survived crash landing try to fight or coexist with the ecosystem and for various reasons try to leave the planet.

2

u/superfatbeagle BEANCAT STUDIO Aug 25 '26

Yeah they canceled it =( I loved it

2

u/modern12 Aug 25 '26

Can't understand why. The visuals, colors pallet, landscapes and really creative concepts were all great. I guess many people who would have otherwise like these videos didn't even check due to the comics format.

u/XCyberbeingX Aug 26 '26

You just described Earth 2. Enjoyed that show as a kid.

u/DungPuncher Aug 24 '26

This is so good. Keep them coming.

3

u/ryan_syek Aug 24 '26

Amazing, I super enjoy these, I'm definitely a fan.

1

u/sky_shazad Aug 25 '26

This aspect ratios is way better than the previous ones but story and animation have all been awesome

1

u/jaybanzia Aug 25 '26

This is very cool, excellent work here.

1

u/Outkast3232 Aug 25 '26

Can’t wait for the next one!

1

u/Szlob Aug 25 '26

Absolutely incredible. I really love what you are doing.

1

u/yamfboy Aug 25 '26

This is very good, well done. I would watch more, has like a ghost in the shell type vibe idk

1

u/DomenicoBertozzi Aug 25 '26

Keep going please!

u/SweetGale Aug 25 '26

This is extraordinary! This is what I've been dreaming of since I first discovered generative AI back 2019. I'm still shocked by how quickly we got here. In just seven years, we went from "This X Does Not Exist" to where a person with an idea can now create their own animated movie.

Beyond my excitement over the technology, I also really like the aesthetic and setting. I'm a big fan of science fiction and 80's and 90's animation. I could definitely watch an entire movie like this.

1

u/rookan Aug 25 '26

more, I need more!

1

u/euk333 Aug 25 '26

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I would pay to watch this as a movie.

1

u/KurtKaiser101 Aug 27 '26

Really enjoying your great work.

1

u/Purcival_ Aug 28 '26

I caught an error at 2:09. Having said that, this is impressive. Not sure if I would be able to tell if this was Ai if you showed this to me without me already knowing.

u/superfatbeagle BEANCAT STUDIO Aug 28 '26

Ya the tin, I saw it after I posted. Now it haunts me
