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”.

It's pretty scary. I'm watching the new season of The Handmaid's Tale at the moment... Eerie. I already voted at the Canadian embassy in Panama (where I live) and voted Liberal. But some districts have a tie between NDP and CPC and people have to vote NDP in those districts.

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. #AI #hailuoai #minimax #aitools

Non-anglo skin 😂 My first language is French. French-Canadian. My ancestors are from France on my father's side, and Irish on my mother's side. But it got mixed a bit along the way.
