Big 🙌 to Tyler Aquilina for his latest piece in Variety, “#AI in Animation Is Not an All-or-Nothing Proposition.” The article digs into some of the biggest questions facing the animation industry today and addresses the real opportunities + risks with industry veterans, thought leaders + practitioners. Important questions like How can AI empower—not replace—creators? And what does this mean for the future of storytelling? A few teasers... 💡 A Toolkit for New Voices: AI-driven tools are enabling a new generation of creators to bring original IP to life, reaching audiences directly without the traditional gatekeeper barriers. 💡 Keeping Pace with Audiences: AI allows us to create and adapt content faster than ever in today’s fast-paced digital landscape. Toonstar’s StEvEn & Parker is just one example of the digital-first approach of meeting audiences where they are on platforms like YouTube. 💡 Balancing Creativity and Technology: AI shouldn’t replace human creativity, it should amplify it. With AI as a creative partner, artists can build worlds, characters and stories that captivate audiences in entirely new ways. At Toonstar, we believe AI is opening doors for a new generation of original animated IP + talented storytellers. AI-powered tools are transforming the production process, opening up opportunities for independent-minded creators to bring their ideas to life faster + more affordably. The goal? To empower the storytellers left behind by legacy systems to shine...and well, actually make + do during a time when making + doing seems to be in limbo.
