It only took me 2 DAYS to create this beautiful Lofi animation π₯π
Bringing AI pictures to life is way easier than you think.
EVERYONE can do it.
These are the 8 steps you should follow π
1. Great image accounts for 50% of success.
Before selecting a picture for animation, consider:
- Is it aesthetically pleasing?
- Does the layout of the picture seem right?
- Are there enough objects to animate?
2. Remove all unnecessary elements.
AI tends to add random objects that don't make sense.
You can easily remove them using PS GenFill, Dalle2, RunwayML, or cleanup pictures.
3. Supercharge your composition with additional assets.
You can add anything you want - cars, people, trees, street signs, etc. This can be achieved in two ways:
a) By cropping objects from variations of your original Midjourney picture.
b) By adding them with AI.
4. Upscale your image with AI.
You can easily increase the quality of your AI-generated pictures by 4x in less than a minute.
The best tool I've found so far is AI Nero Image Upscaler.
5. Separate the objects you are going to animate from the main composition.
Make sure your composition is clear, so when the objects move, there's a plain background behind them.
It is time to animate. Even though it might be frustrating to use Adobe After Effects for the first time, it is the best and most powerful software - everything you will ever need. So, it's worth it.
6. The main AE functions I use:
β’ Mask: To hide or reveal parts of a layer, create shapes (e.g., shadows), or cut out specific areas.
β’ Position: To create simple movement.
β’ Position + Puppet tool: For an advanced movement, such as animating people walking.
7. Adding green screen assets.
There is a lot that can be achieved with ready-to-use green screen animations.
You can find them on YouTube or other websites.
Although I haven't utilized any in this Lofi animation, this is what the process looks like.
8. Finally, the sound design.
Whether it is a simple melody or city ambience, you can download royalty-free assets from Youtube/other websites.
I'm working on a full (A to Z) AI animation course.
Even if you have zero experience, you will learn to make AI animations in less than 7 days.
Hailuo AI is the ultimate tool for generating intense anime fight scenes π₯·
10 wild examples + tutorial + prompts π
First lets see of what this @Hailuo_AI model is really capable of β tutorialβs waiting at the end.
2)
Anime-style shot: two warriors collide in the center of the arena β fists fly, kicks land, the ground cracks beneath them. The camera shakes with every impact as the fight explodes in a blur of motion. Shockwaves ripple through the air, debris scatters, and the arena trembles under the force of their blows. No pauses, no words β just relentless, high-speed combat from every angle.

Open canva window, then drag and drop your image. morphic.com
Under the image type this prompt:
Change the camera angle of input image to first-person view, as if the character is seeing a [WHAT HE IS LOOKING AT?]. Maintain the animated style, lighting, and overall feel of input image. This should be a direct continuation of the same world, from the characterβs eyes. Output image must have no main character visible and no same details from the input image.
2.Jump cuts, where you place the character in a different environment (e.g., from train station to inside the train)
To do that, use the Runway References tool (as shown in the tutorial) or the Flux Kontext model β available on Morphic Studios, LTX Studio, or Freepik
