I thought today would be more of a relaxed day, one spent writing and reflecting on the concept of relaxation itself. But, as it often goes, curiosity took the reins. Instead, I found myself diving deeper into making my creative workflows more efficient using AI tools.
Earlier this week, I tested an AI video generator, and a few months ago, I explored AI’s capabilities through Canva. Today, I experimented with different AI video generation tools, focusing on animating static photos and enhancing character consistency. My goal has been to maintain the distinctiveness of my original characters while exploring ways to generate variations that remain true to their core design. It’s a fascinating challenge, balancing creativity with technology while training models that align with my vision.
The importance of AI in content creation is becoming increasingly clear. According to this guide, “Vizard AI enables creators to generate video content faster while retaining creative control” (Cryptonomist). Tools like these are becoming indispensable, allowing artists to focus on storytelling while automating repetitive tasks.
Another article emphasizes how AI video generators are redefining the creative process. “AI video generation is shifting from novelty to necessity, empowering creators with tools to explore what was once unattainable due to technical or budget constraints” (IEEE Spectrum). It’s exciting to see how AI bridges the gap between imagination and execution.
I’ll admit, I’ve spent more time and money on this process than I initially intended, but it’s been a rewarding experience. Training models, experimenting with new tools, and seeing ideas come to life has reminded me why I love blending creativity with technology.
Today’s takeaway? Exploration is rarely linear, and the tools we have now are helping us redefine what’s possible. Even on days meant for relaxation, the pursuit of creativity and optimization can become a form of rejuvenation in itself.
