Animated Pastel Drawing

Background:

The cartoon is the animated version of the studio's pastel artwork.

The owner of the studio wanted to integrate AI into her pastel classes by showing students how to animate their drawings using AI. To support this, I created these videos for her to showcase.

For the first video, I generated 2 separate videos and combine them with software Capcut.

Prompt for the first video:

生成圖片：將圖1的心心圖案換成圖2的柴犬。

Generate an image: Replace the heart pattern in Image 1 with the Shiba Inu from Image 2.

生成分鏡圖片：

圖1和圖2: 畫面特寫柴犬。牠閉著雙眼，短短的雙手開始向後收，做出準備推掌的蓄力姿勢。

圖3: 鏡頭稍微拉遠。柴犬猛地將短小的雙手奮力向前推擊。身邊的白色與粉紅色線條瞬間大放異彩，形成一個向外擴散的簡約圓形氣流特效。柴犬以龜波氣功的方式射出愛心，畫面搞笑有趣，柴犬身邊要有卡通氣功的特效。

Generate Storyboard Images:

Image 1 and Image 2: Close-up shots of a Shiba Inu. The dog has its eyes closed, and its short front paws begin to pull back, getting into a charging pose, preparing to push forward.

Image 3: The camera zooms out slightly. The Shiba Inu suddenly and forcefully pushes its short paws forward. White and pink lines around it instantly light up brilliantly, forming a simple, outward-expanding circular airflow effect. The Shiba Inu shoots out a heart in a 'Kamehameha' style. The scene is funny and playful, and there should be cartoonish energy blast effects around the Shiba Inu.

圖1: 可愛的卡通地球在靜謐的太空中閉眼微笑，身邊繁星點點。

圖2: 地球頭頂瞬間噴發出一股粉紅色的煙霧，煙霧迅速向上衝起，形成一根粉紅色的「蘑菇雲煙囪」。隨後，頂端像充氣一樣，猛地膨脹開來，變成了那顆巨大的、帶有粉彩質感的粉紅大愛心！

圖3: 大愛心蘑菇雲達到最大點後，瞬間「啪」地炸裂開來！無數顆大大小小、顏色深淺不一、透明度各有不同的粉紅小愛心，像滿天花雨一樣從中心點向全螢幕炸開。漫天的粉紅小愛心像雪花一樣在太空中緩緩漂浮、旋轉。鏡頭拉回地球，它完全沒有受到傷害，反而一臉被「愛心治癒」的幸福模樣，臉頰多了兩抹腮紅，繼續在太空中滿足地微笑。

Generate Storyboard Images:

Image 1: A cute cartoon Earth is smiling with its eyes closed in the quiet, serene outer space, surrounded by twinkling stars.

Image 2: A burst of pink smoke instantly erupts from the top of the Earth, shooting upward rapidly to form a pink 'mushroom cloud chimney.' Then, the top suddenly inflates like a balloon, expanding into a giant, pastel-textured pink heart!

Image 3: After reaching its maximum size, the giant heart-shaped mushroom cloud instantly bursts with a 'POP'! Countless pink little hearts — varying in size, shade, and transparency — explode across the entire screen like a shower of petals, spreading outward from the center. The sky is filled with tiny pink hearts floating and spinning slowly through space like snowflakes. The camera zooms back to the Earth, which remains completely unharmed — instead, it looks blissfully 'healed by love,' with two blushing cheeks added to its face, smiling contentedly in space.

Prompt for the second video:

生成影片：南瓜和貓的樣子、五官、眼睛所有東西維持原圖一樣， 走日式簡約2d可愛卡通風格，類似三麗鷗。貓從南瓜內部探出頭來，然後鏡頭 慢慢從外面進入畫中，然後貓說 "Hello I am crystal! Welcome to Chill Creative Studio!"。右上角白色的小鬼從畫中慢慢飛出來跟 鏡頭打招呼。影片滲透一種歡樂的萬聖節氣氛。最後加一點小煙花特效。 我要整個影片都統一用粉彩風格。時長6秒。

Generate a video: The appearance, facial features, eyes, and everything about the pumpkin and the cat remain exactly the same as the original image. The style is a minimalist Japanese 2D cute cartoon aesthetic, similar to Sanrio. The cat pops its head out from inside the pumpkin. The camera slowly moves from outside into the frame, and then the cat says, 'Hello! I am Crystal! Welcome to Chill Creative Studio!' A small white ghost character in the upper-right corner slowly flies out of the frame and waves to the camera. The entire video conveys a joyful Halloween atmosphere. At the end, add a few small firework effects. The whole video must maintain a unified pastel art style. Dduration 6 seconds.
