AI can generate it. But can you actually build it?
I made this transformation completely from scratch. No AI generation, no AI video, no shortcuts.
Just editing, compositing, tracking, VFX, patience and a stupid amount of time staring at keyframes.
And honestly, I think we're entering a weird era where having the right tool is becoming more common than actually knowing how to use it.
AI can give you an impressive result in seconds.
But when something breaks, the camera moves differently, the lighting changes, or the effect needs to behave exactly the way you imagined...
That's when you find out who actually knows the craft.
Made this one from myself into a Shinobi with Sharingan + Rinnegan.
What do you think? Is AI making people more creative, or just making it easier to look creative?
