Embracing the future of animation production

As animators, we love the creative process, the art, the skills the ability to tell stories.

Generative AI art and AI animation tools and techniques are improving daily, with more and more integrations by the likes of Adobe, Microsoft and Google. Plus sites like MidJourney, Stable Diffusion and RunwayML provide new creative abilities that are hard to ignore.

There are a lot of understandable concerns and unknowns but the genie is out of the bottle and we are at heart AI optimists.

Aianimation.com is a new site focused on AI animation to showcase creative talent. You can register for a free creative profile with video portfolio then network and be discovered by clients.
