AKQA and GoFundMe approached me with the idea using AI to create a mural painting based on GoFundMe campaigns from 2022. From there, things evolved and escalated into a nearly 2-minute animation in which every frame is unique and feels hand painted. Actors were shot in a studio and had their performances transformed through img2img into a stop-motion painterly animation. This style of animation wouldn't have been possible even just 6 months ago and therefore this project would have never existed without the use of AI. When I was younger, I always dreamed of creating an animation out of paintings but the scope and feasibility were beyond me. The hope here is to use AI not to replace the old way of doing things but to open up new creative and storytelling possibilities. For this reason, we did not emulate any specific artist's style.
A variety of AI tools were used from Dall-e 2 and Stable Diffusion to generate the background assets, Automatic1111 and Runway to process the live-action footage along with "traditional" digital animation tools like After Effects and 3DMax to create the camera moves and transitions.
