Ziggy Paws' Christmas Wish
A stop-motion inspired AI short, solo project
“Ziggy Paws' Christmas Wish” is a heartfelt solo project created to explore the charm of classic stop-motion animation through the lens of generative AI. Featuring a whimsical character and festive vibes, this short was my playground for experimenting with multiple tools and refining a stylized, handcrafted look — all within an AI-assisted workflow.
Creative Process
Concept & Storyboarding: Brainstormed and refined with ChatGPT, shaping the narrative and tone.
Visual Creation: Images were generated using Midjourney, Ideogram, and Dzine AI to maintain a consistent, character-driven look.
Image Enhancement: Upscaled and sharpened using Magnific AI.
Animation: Brought to life with MiniMax and KLING (AI video generation).
Video Polishing: Final upscaling with Topaz Labs AI for visual clarity.
Editing: Compiled and fine-tuned in CapCut Pro with pacing, transitions, and effects.
Sound & Music: A mix of festive audio from Pixabay and Suno, matched to elevate mood and emotion.
