Wanted to share a little behind-the-scenes of my process on this one.
I started by building the animation/previs in Blender so I could control the camera, movement, timing, and composition first. From there, I used reference images and AI rendering with Seedance 2.5 / Higgsfield to push the final look while keeping the original animation intact.
I’ve been experimenting a lot with combining traditional 3D workflows with AI instead of relying on AI to figure out everything from scratch. It gives me way more control and usually saves a ton of trial and error.
Also, I'm able to change characters, sets, and look and keep the same camera movements or change them a little if u need, but it makes it easier
If anyone has questions about the workflow, tools, prompts, or setup, feel free to reach out. Always happy to talk process.
Blocking out camera, timing and composition in Blender before bringing in AI rendering seems like the move that keeps this from feeling random. Did you lock the previs fully before touching Seedance, or go back and forth between the two?
Yeah, I pretty much lock the previs first camera movement, timing, composition, and the main action.
Then I bring it into Seedance for the final look. If the AI starts drifting too far from what I want, I’ll go back into Blender and tweak the previs rather than burning credits trying to prompt-fix it.
Good
Thank you! 🙌 Appreciate you checking it out.

Loved bringing this collaboration to life. 🥤
This is so detailed and creative
The low-poly scene already has a strong sense of place, and the 60fps browser target makes the interaction feel ambitious in the best way. I especially like how the restrained palette lets the “Explore the Silo” typography lead the experience.
Built this over a weekend as an experiment with AI-assisted design and development.
Duo Case is an absurd concept for turning two iPhones into a very unofficial foldable iPhone. The goal was to see how far AI could accelerate the process while keeping creative direction, design decisions and final execution in human hands.
A weekend build that looks this polished is wild. Where did AI actually save you the most time here, the concepting or the production grind?
