I took a hand-drawn dragon reel I loved (animation by Karlotta Freier, on IG) and tried to rebuild the *style* using only code: no AI image or video generation, no hand animation. The dragon, the story and the music are our own; her reel was the bar to measure against. Here's how it came out: https://youtu.be/hPW_uHlBakI What I learned: 1. Threejs can be use for animation 2. Side-by-side with the reference helps with consistency 3. Credit the creator, make the thing yours. It took 8 versions to get here, and it's still not her level. That gap is the lesson. 📅 I'm back this Saturday for Vibe Film Session 4, 2:30–4:30 PM MT, same Zoom link as always. We'll get into memory: how to keep your character, props and world consistent across every shot. https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/vibe-film-saturday-sept-5-430-pm-et?p=dd094a57 What's one thing you've tried to copy recently that turned out harder than it looked? Throw it in here and I might use it in the session!
