With AI tools, you can pre-visualize your film, animate, designnew sneakers, envision your summerhouse or design your room. You can develop patterns, create graphic and fashion design and make animations.

Note, even if you do not consider yourself "creative", you are creative. With these tools, you can create as long as you can imagine!

This video was all done with AI tools in 2023 as an intro to an AI conference. First, I created the image with Midjourney, and then we recorded the voice-over. I prefer a human voice rather than an AI-generated voice, however creating an AI voice is easy, and you can even imitate Brad Pitt or the celebrity of your choice! With the image and the voice track I animated it with another AI tool. This workflow is easy and will be discussed in the next workshop.

Are you a Manga fan and would like to create a animated cartoon series?

I created over 4,000 portraits with Midjourney. Check them out on https://www.instagram.com/divadeviva/
