I'm working on animating a scene from a book I'm writing
I'm playing round with the video generation tools and AI voice with elevenlabs, I'm a bit disappointed by the voice acting skills of the AI.
Another issue I have is a picked a more complex visual style, so I am remaking in a simpler visual style so the lip syncing isn't so difficult.
It has been a steep learning curve on how to piece together a small anime style scene and then use the tools to put it together. Anyhow, let me know what you think and what I can improve.
Was sitting and eating lunch at a central city market, keeping an eye on my green bike (Quatrevelo). I noticed a kid proceeding to try and climb inside despite the cover being on it. I then tell him off lightly saying that it isn't a toy, the 5 year old boy says some phrases in Chinese I think (I know a few mandarin phrases).
Kid then stops so I go back to eating, then the parent approached me bike, I think great they will tell their kid off for playing with other people's stuff without asking. But no, they proceed to put the kid on top of my bike, where the carbon fibre is weakest... I run back saying no, parent ignores me quickly steps back to take a photo, I start swearing and then the parent runs off with the kid.
I wish parents would teach their children to respect other people's things, thankfully there was no damage. And I think not knowing what I was saying would not be a good excuse, as a parent you should not place your children on other peoples things, you wouldn't place your kid on the bonnet of a car, so why do that to my bike.
