Images and Processes

Overview

Note, the video will rely heavily on AI regardless of the style we choose. The AI process summarized:

You begin with a very good first frame (ie, a still image). 
To create the first frame,

you create a character and a background. 

Swapping Characters, clothing, sets, props, and time of day is relatively easy.
