Character-Consistent AI Video & 2D Animation | Story to Final Cut
I turn story ideas into finished video, with characters and backgrounds that look the same from the first shot to the last. Most AI video falls apart when a character's face, outfit or setting changes between scenes. Keeping them consistent is the part of the work I care most about. My process is idea-led. Before any frame is generated, I plan the story, design the characters and backgrounds, and build storyboard grids. Then I generate and direct each scene and clean it up by hand. I add fine detail and effects in Adobe After Effects, and finish in Adobe Premiere Pro with audio sync, music, sound effects and final polish. I come from a 2D animation background, so I can also fix and polish frames manually. WHAT YOU GET - Character sheets and background designs that stay consistent across the whole video - Storyboard grids to approve before production starts - AI-generated scenes, directed and cleaned up by hand - Detail and effects work in After Effects - Editing, music sync and sound effects for a finished cut - YouTube, kids' content, story and devotional videos, explainers and short series - 2D animation and motion graphics where a project needs them GOOD TO KNOW - Typical turnaround: a 30-second video in 1-2 days, depending on complexity - Available full-time - Storyboards, character sheets and samples shared on request Send me your script, idea or reference videos and I'll tell you what's realistic and what it will cost.
