Do I know any animators on here?
Making an 8-10 minute short film that plays like an animated children's book.
Specifically hand-drawn-style or paint-style, but still functionally CG using modern software and workflows. No AI please.

I think about sound even more than I used to now that I tend to second-screen a lot. It's even more critical to telling the story than it was before we were all distracted!

Gehry was my favourite architect, and I made a pilgrimage to see several of his buildings IRL. This one is Dancing House, in Prague. RIP to a real legend.

How to hear AI-generated or heavily edited audio
AI-generated audio keeps improving, but our ears are still remarkably good at telling when something does not behave like real sound. You do not need special tools or training.
