Process of Creating the "Slavko Zlatodushnyi" Animation

Goal of the Project:The goal of this project was to visualize Slavko Zlatodushnyi, the hero of my original fairy tale series. This short animation aims to highlight my skills in working with AI tools, character design, and storytelling. The project captures Slavko's journey, showcasing his legendary strength, his magical sword (artifact), and his relentless pursuit of freedom.

Steps in the Process:

1. Script and Storyboarding:

   • Using AI (ChatGPT), I collaborated to draft the script and create a storyboard for an 11-second animation.

   • The focus was on introducing Slavko as a heroic figure with a mystical connection to his sword and his destiny in the stars.

2. Image Generation:

   • Visual assets for the scenes and the character were generated using Freepik and tailored to match the magical and heroic theme.

   • The design emphasized details of the character’s sword as a symbol of his power and heart as his source of strength.

3. Animation:

   • The animation was created with the help of AI tools, bringing Slavko and his artifact into dynamic movement.

   • The flow of the animation highlights key elements like the glowing sword, starry backgrounds, and the character’s determination.

4. Audio Creation:

   • The narration was recorded using an AI-powered voice generator platform. The voice conveys a deep, heroic tone to match Slavko’s character.

   • The background music was generated using Suno AI, creating an epic atmosphere that complements the story’s tone and pacing.

   • Editing and Assembly:

     • The final video was assembled in an editing tool, ensuring the visuals and audio were synchronized.

     • Special attention was given to transitions between scenes to keep the viewer engaged in the short format.

   Text Narrated in the Animation: "Meet Slavko Zlatodushnyi, the hero of legends who defends our world from darkness. His strength lies in his heart, and his path is written in the stars."

   Tools Used:

   • Freepik: for generating visual assets.

   • AI ChatGPT: for scripting, storyboarding, and prompt creation.

   • AI Animation Tool: for creating movement and effects.

   • Suno AI: for composing the music.

   • AI Voice Generator Platform: for recording the narration.

   • Video Editing Software: for assembling the final product.

   Result: This animation presents Slavko Zlatodushnyi as a beacon of hope and light. Through this project, I explored the possibilities of combining AI-driven tools with creative storytelling to craft a vivid and engaging character introduction
