I recently spoke with animation veteran Matt Ferguson about my career journey through all the shifts the animation industry has gone through, and why I decided to fully embrace AI after decades in traditional animation.
The tools may have changed, but the drive to tell stories remains the same.

Fun test with Hailuo Minimax I2V-01-Director 🎬 The camera controls are a blast 🔥🌟
Used Hedra for lipsync, Imagen3 (Freepik) for images, and made the music in Udio, featuring lyrics that some French viewers might recognize from Johnny Hallyday’s “Ma Gueule”.

Winterhollow is a haunting forest where beauty conceals danger, and strange, eerie forces lurk. Travelers, drawn by its glow, face surreal trials and chilling legends, with few ever escaping its grip.

For those evacuating with pets in LA: Hilton’s Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Embassy Suites, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton, Tru and Canopy brands are all 100% pet friendly. Even cats! And a lot of hotels are waiving pet fees atm. Good on u Hilton! Pun intended: that’s hot.

Hailuo AI MiniMax gave me a week of unlimited access, so I decided to put it to the test. I tried animating some oddly constructed characters I had made in Midjourney, to see how it would handle them.

Midjourney, Hailuo, ChatGPT, Elevenlabs and Capcut.
