Taking a traditional animation filmmaking approach while making Robo Dad https://youtu.be/aeqjTDTb-1w The process: we took hand-built puppets and photographed them, then used those images in Nano Banana to generate character sheets. A character sheet is an illustration of a character at front, back, and side angles. We also generated locations to create elements. With those character sheets and our script, we used Seeddance 2.0 to generate shots. By tagging every element in the script: Characters, Props and locations, we maintain consistency. Every action gets its own shot, and we fill out all camera angles, lens info (ex 35 mm lens) and lighting info. All of the shots are generated at 480 (since I was being careful about spending credits). Once shots were generated, our Editor cut them together in Davinci Resolve, our Sound Engineer built the soundscape, our Actors gave passionate performances and it was all edited together. Some shots we regenerated at 4k while others were upscaled with a 4K uprez in Resolve. The story: Change can be a scary thing. People are afraid of what they don’t know and for some, they are afraid of being replaced. But what if the AI robot wasn’t there to replace a Father, but was there to help the family as they were dealing with a medical emergency? What about all the positive possibilities of AI in sports and health sciences? So Robo Dad was the opportunity to share a story about kids fusing STEM with sports so they can win a hockey championship and better their community. The message: I want the youth to grow up believing they can help shape that future, not simply live in it. At its heart, this is a story about a young girl discovering that intelligence, creativity, courage, and persistence can give her agency over her circumstances. She doesn’t wait for someone else to solve the problem. She learns. She builds. She fails. She tries again. She discovers that her imagination can become a force for changing the world around her.
