Hey, it's the Carat team. 🤗 Today, we're looking at an AI stage video packed with anime characters, a workflow that turns a dancing figure into a toy-like character, a free 3D image board, and a football remake of The Matrix.

An AI stage video featuring characters from Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, and other anime pulled around 7.8 million impressions on X. Stage lighting, a full audience, and spectators filming on their phones make it look like a live show in Japan.

The poster said GPT Image 2, Seedance 2, and Kling 3 Omni were used in the production. The post drew around 22,000 likes and 6,000 bookmarks.

AI creator Koda shared a workflow that combines a dancing figure with stylized character visuals. The video begins with a figure in white dancing, then shifts into characters that resemble collectible figures or sculptures.

Koda created the character in Midjourney V8.2 Preview, built a 16:9 black-and-white storyboard with GPT Image 2, and animated it with Seedance 2. The original thread also includes the style reference, character prompt, and storyboard prompt. The post pulled around 23,000 impressions and 300 bookmarks.

Creative director Amir Mushich released Cloud Canvas, a free image-board tool. After importing images, you can adjust Spread, Depth, and Card size to change their spacing, depth, and scale.

It offers a Globe view that wraps images around a sphere and a Flat board view that arranges them on a plane. You can also attach notes to selected images or export the board as a PNG or JPG. The post pulled around 28,000 impressions and 650 bookmarks.

AI creator Armin turned a scene from The Matrix into a football parody. Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and Lionel Messi replace the original characters, while FIFA and VAR become part of the rewritten dialogue.

Armin said the video was edited with Kling 3 Omni Edit and voiced with Hailuo Speech 2.8 HD. The post pulled around 46,000 impressions. At the end, Messi appears and says, “Qué miras, bobo?”

That's it for today. We covered an AI stage show featuring several anime characters, a workflow that turns a dancer into toy-like character visuals, a 3D image-board tool, and a football remake of a movie scene. We'll be back tomorrow with more. 😄
