🎬 Carry On - A small song I made turned into a cinematic journey

Three characters.
Three different corners of the world.
One shared human emotion.

🌏 Aanya — Mumbai
🌍 Malik — Nairobi
🌸 Emiko — Kyoto

Different languages, cultures, and lives… but connected by the same invisible threads we all experience: memories, loneliness, hope, and the choice to keep moving forward.

This project was an experiment in using AI not just to create beautiful frames, but to build a story — matching visuals with lyrics, emotions with music, and moments with meaning.

Created through a mix of AI tools, storytelling, editing, and a lot of trial and error.

Every scene was shaped around one question:

Can AI help us tell stories that feel human?

Here is my answer: Carry On. 🎥✨

Hey everyone!
I’m excited to share the third episode of my animated series, Sloppy Tales.
For this installment, I decided to switch things up and experiment with a completely different visual style: Claymation. This episode also introduces a brand-new character to the universe, Barnaby Bogtrotter.
Honestly, considering Barnaby’s story is all about a guy who makes his fortune in the "waste management" field (building an empire out of literal crap), I felt like the brown, clumpy claymation aesthetic was an absolute match made in heaven for the subject matter! 🏰💩
As always, I’m learning as I go and would love to hear your thoughts.
Feedback: How do you feel about the transition to claymation?
Advice: Any tips or critiques on the animation flow or comedic timing?
Ideas: I'm always open to suggestions for future episodes!
Thanks for watching, and let me know what you think in the comments!

Hey everyone,
Here is the second episode of Sloppy Tales, my animated series where I try to completely subvert classic fairy tale narratives. This one is a pretty unhinged showdown featuring weaponized lactose intolerance.
I want to give a huge thank you to this community—I took a lot of the feedback and critiques I received on the first video into consideration for this one, especially when it came to really leaning into that chaotic 1930s Fleischer Studios and Tex Avery vibe.
I’d love to hear what you guys think of this new episode. Any and all feedback is welcome!
Also, I'm currently brainstorming for the next few videos. What classic fairy tales, legends, or childhood stories would you like to see me completely ruin next? Drop your plot ideas and suggestions below!

every comparison of these new video models is about the visuals. but the thing
that actually saves me editing time is whether the model makes usable audio in
the same pass. so i ran the same three prompts (a cafe scene, footsteps on
gravel, someone talking to camera) through MiniMax H3, Gemini Omni and Veo 3.1
and just listened.

they're nowhere near equal on this.

Gemini Omni was the clear one for sound. it makes synced native audio with the
clip, and on the talking-to-camera prompt the lip timing actually lined up,
which almost nothing does. the cafe ambience felt placed, not stock.

Veo 3.1 was solid. it does synchronized audio too, ambient came back clean, and
dialogue was decent if not quite as tight on the sync as Omni. good enough that
i'd ship it for most social work.

MiniMax H3 gave the sharpest picture of the three, but audio was the weak spot,
the footsteps prompt came back basically silent and i added sound myself. so
it's the one i reach for when i'll do the audio in post anyway.

the thing the visual comparisons miss: if a clip has dialogue or needs to feel
alive, the audio pass is half the work, and picking the model that does it for
you matters more than a marginal bump in sharpness.

i keep all three on one key through Atlas Cloud and route by the job: Omni when
sound carries the shot, Veo for general social, H3 when i want the crispest
image and don't mind doing audio myself. that's how the sound shook out.
