We aimed to transform a dancer’s image into a scene where a school of fish shapes itself to mimic the dancer’s form, then bring the scene to life through AI-powered animation. We were inspired by this post on CivitAI.
We chose this concept because we knew it would present some interesting challenges, and would allow us to explore a common request we receive from clients and partners: how can we combine Element A with Element B to turn something from our imagination into something real?
We trained the AI using a video of a dancer (credit: Yan Krukau) and were then able to integrate the fish, getting them to group together in a way that mimicked the silhouette of the dancer.
Using an image of a dancer presented some difficulties, as the algorithm needs to grasp the specific features of the dance while avoiding unnecessary background elements. Extending this style to other source images adds another layer of complexity, but through trial and error, we were able to achieve consistent results.
AI continues to open up opportunities for creating personalised content in limitless visual styles, and we see it as an exciting tool to help visualise creative concepts.
