Is this the beginning of the end of animation & film?
OpenAI have created SORA AI - a text to video generation tool - which is not yet available to everyone, but a few artists have been given access and created some amazing stuff.
This piece by Nik Kleverov is a clear example of what this tech is able to do. And this is the worst it's ever gonna be.
Interesting times ahead for the animation and film industry. I personally feel this is the beginning of a brand new art form which will eventually be considered "real" art with all the previous disciplines that were looked down upon at some point.

A few thoughts:
1. The ability to describe an idea to a computer is becoming more important as the days go on.
2. I think there’s a universe of C+ material that’s about to be spewed into existence. That means that the truly brilliant content faces a discovery problem rather than a creation problem.
3. Creators will be able to bash through iterations of an idea faster than ever and get to a final product quicker or get a better product in the same amount of time
That is incredible work!! From my experience though I would say no to to it being the the 'end' but rather the beginning. More creative shots that were never possible or extremely difficult to attain.

... a song from my youth by Golden Earring (I think, assuming memory not failing me)
Whatever it seemed an appropriate title for this post!
Watch the video!
Interesting? Set in the Gold rush you might think ... And you'd be right!
The key question: But how was it produced?
By an animation studio? A film company?
And how long did it take to make?
The answer will be in the comments soon!

As an independent animator and founder of Sundstedt Animation, I’m thrilled to share the story of one of my animated music video projects - the official animated lyric video for SOFI K’s hit single “Fall Back Down”. This project not only showcases my skills as an animator but also highlights the power of collaboration with songwriters and producers.
The Challenge:
When the SOFI K team entrusted me with creating an animated lyric video for their new single, I was thrilled to take on the challenge. With a clear understanding of the importance of storytelling in animation, I knew I had to bring my expertise to the table. The goal was to craft a visually stunning video that would harmonize with the song’s infectious melody and weave a narrative that would resonate with the audience. I was determined to deliver a standout project that would exceed SOFI K’s expectations, pouring my heart and soul into the work.
The Solution:
I handled every aspect from direction and design to animation and editing. I worked closely with SOFI K and their producer, Bryce Harding, to understand their vision and incorporate their feedback throughout the process. The result was a meticulously crafted 2D animated lyric video that brought the song’s lyrics to life.
The Results:
The video has received widespread acclaim, earning 18 awards and nominations at various film festivals, including the IndieX Awards, IMVA Awards, and Long Story Shorts International Film Festival. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans praising the video’s beautiful animation, catchy rhythm, and engaging storytelling.
What Sets The Project Apart:
This project stands out due to the level of attention to detail and dedication I brought to every aspect of the video. From the initial concept to the final edit, I was committed to creating a high-quality product that would exceed SOFI K’s expectations. It’s a real animated music video, with lyrics.
What I Learned:
This project taught me the importance of clear communication, collaboration, and attention to detail. Working closely with SOFI K and their producer allowed me to understand their vision & incorporate their feedback throughout the process. The result was a video that not only met but exceeded their expectations.
Conclusion:
I’m proud to have been a part of this project and grateful for the opportunity to showcase my skills as an animator. If you’re an artist, musician, or producer looking for a high-quality animated lyric video, I’d love to discuss your project & explore how we can work together to bring your vision to life.

Demon Slayer is one of the best Japanese animation. Japan's contents businesses can possibly replace Japan's automobile industry as Japan's leading industry.
American consumers should buy Chinese automobiles and watch Japanese animation.
Japan's automobiles are inferior to China's.
