Loui started with my cousin's photos of his pug. I turned familiar outfits, expressions and little habits into this personal 60-second 2D cartoon — with consistent characters, visual gags, typography and sound.
This is a larger custom-story example. My introductory photo-animation service starts at $50 for a simpler single-subject, single-scene keepsake up to 30 seconds, with limited motion and one small revision. Full multi-scene stories and complex character work are quoted separately.
Pricing update: the simple photo-animation starter is now USD75. Same scope: one subject, one simple scene, up to 30 seconds with limited motion and one small revision. Full stories like Loui are custom-quoted. Current details: https://contra.com/s/gMPrbP3b-photo-inspired-pet-animation-30-second-starter
Revisiting our #collab with Axel Kinnear: frame-by-frame 2D animation full of goblins, green fire and old magic.
On our side we handled sound design and original #music, mixing organic #foley with eerie textures so the #hand-drawn style felt tactile and a little sinister.
Love this throwback! The frame-by-frame style with the green fire and goblins is so unique. And the sound design mixing foley with eerie textures — perfect for spooky season. Awesome collab!
It started with one image.
A skull.
I couldn't stop looking at it. It felt like it was alive and dying at the same time.
So I kept going.
Each version felt like the same soul dying in a new color.
Then I thought… what if it actually moved?
So I took my Firefly images and brought them to life with the new Kling 4.0
No camera.
No studio.
Just one skull and a feeling I had to follow.
This is "Pigment of the Dead."
