Questioning randomness: the making of a Dada film

Here is the making of a film about Dadaism.

Watch Vessels — A Mini Manifesto on YouTube.

Premise: A Dadaist questions the nature of randomness. Is it real? Or it is aspirational? And what do you do about it if the whole thing is a shell game?

This one was made with Grok, Kling, and I used Suno to do the sound design. The impression of my YouTube voice... is quite good. Grok did the hard animation. Kling was mostly done for lip syncing.

GPT image-2 was used in the design phase, to turn my sketches into finished designs for the character concepts. Grok filled in the blanks when I was doing the storyboarding.

Blender was used for set consistency and I used Underpaint for easy inpainting touchups. I used Openshot for editing and color grading.
