two character sheets, kai and miko.
that was all the input I got for a genhq competition. the assignment was to create an animated short of 60 seconds max. I came up with the following story and brought it to life with gpt2 storyboards and seedance 2.
First, i created the environments in midjourney
then i created storyboards for the following story:
The film follows a young boy on a solitary journey through snow-capped mountains, quietly taking in the vastness of the landscape around him. His peaceful walk is shattered when a sudden avalanche sends him sprinting for his life. In the chaos, he collides with Miko, a small fox fleeing the very same danger. Wary of one another at first, their fear slowly melts into curiosity, then trust.

seedance 2 was used to generate the videos, which were edited in premiere pro.
