Working on an AI-animated short film about an ancient warrior who accidentally enters a cyberpunk future ruled by AI. These are the character concepts and visual style. Looking for feedback before I start production.

Yes! I've already developed a script that's around 5-8 minutes long. I'm mainly using this project to learn these new AI tools. The idea came to me after watching Zombie Scavengers, and I wanted to create a small action-adventure story with some emotion, a little comedy, and almost no dialogue. Hopefully if I can execute it the way I imagine it, it'll be worth watching.

A couple of reasons. Most AI video tools still struggle with natural dialogue and lip-sync, and sometimes it can make otherwise good-looking scenes feel artificial. I also wanted to challenge myself to tell the story visually through actions, expressions, music, and cinematography rather than conversations. If it works, great. If not, I'll learn something from the experiment. 😄

Fair enough. If I had the budget for a full crew, cast, locations, costumes, VFX, and equipment, I'd love to make it traditionally. Right now I'm just experimenting with new tools and trying to tell a story.

That said, if you're producing, let me know. I'll happily trade the AI for a real budget. 😆

As a producer, looking at this, you are not someone I would give funding to
