Kaka creation and Cutting-edge works A website was launched on Friday announcing a project called ” Hihama twins This animation is produced using artificial intelligence and is scheduled to be released in spring 2025.
The video above outlines the various ways artificial intelligence can be used in project creation, and the animation website discusses the concept of “supportive artificial intelligence.” The website stated that with the increasing popularity of artificial intelligence technology, there is a large gap between creators and artificial intelligence. To this end, the project is working hard to approach artificial intelligence by using it as a support tool for creators. Staff members expressed their belief that in the face of labor shortages and long working hours in the animation industry, creators’ artificial intelligence can improve work efficiency and achieve new performances that are currently difficult to achieve with hand-drawn animation and CG.
More than 95% of the clips in the animation will use AI, and are finally edited manually by dedicated personnel. Animation also uses other tools such as clip studio paintand Adobe software such as Photoshop, After Effects, and Illustrator.
