MASTERCLASS: Cara Riset dan Bikin Film Animasi Panjang Dengan Karakter Konsisten (Gemini+Whisk+Flow)

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a full-length animated film with consistent characters using Google AI tools. The process includes researching ideas, writing scripts, generating images, and producing a complete video. This guide is based on a masterclass that simplifies the animation workflow into five segments, making it accessible for anyone interested in animation.

Step 1: Create and Test Character Design

• Define your character: Start by conceptualizing your character. For this guide, we will use the character "Aurel."

• Use Whisk for visual testing:

  • Generate various images of your character using Google Whisk (ImageFX) to ensure visual consistency.
  • Test different expressions and outfits to confirm your character maintains a consistent look throughout the animation.

• Voice and Dialogue Testing:

  • Use AI tools to test the tone of voice and dialogue for your character. Ensure it matches the personality you want to convey.

Step 2: Research for Script Development

• Deep Research:
  • Gather historical data related to your video topic. In this case, the focus is on the history of the sport Padel.
  • Use reliable sources to ensure the information is accurate and comprehensive.

Step 3: Transform Research into a Production-Ready Script

• Structuring Your Script:

  • Organize your findings into a coherent outline. This should include:
    • Introduction
    • Key historical points
    • Conclusion

• Prompt Structure:

  • Break down your script into four main parts:
    1. Introduction to the topic
    2. Main content (historical events)
    3. Character dialogue
    4. Conclusion

Step 4: Produce the Consistent Animated Video

• Use Google Flow for animation:

  • Import your script into Google Flow to start the animation process.
  • Utilize the Scene Builder feature to create structured scenes that follow your script.

• Consistency Check:

  • Continuously monitor the animation to ensure character designs and voiceovers remain consistent throughout the video.

Step 5: Explore Character Types and Styles

• Understand Different Character Designs:

  • Study various animation styles such as photorealistic, Pixar, and anime.
  • Determine which style fits your project best and apply it consistently across your video.

• Case Studies:

  • Analyze successful animations in your chosen style to learn from their character design and storytelling techniques.

Conclusion
