Express Yourself! Act-One Character Animation (AICM-014)

🎙️ Episode 014: Express Yourself! The Power of Act-One for Character Animation

Podcast: AI for the Creative Mind

Hosted by: Steve Albanese with co-host Nova Sage

What if all it took to animate a character was your own performance? No studio, no mocap suit—just your face, your voice, and your creative energy.

In this episode, Steve and Nova explore RunwayML’s Act-One, a powerful new tool that lets creators transform a simple performance video into expressive character animation. From Midjourney image prompts to recording tips, from voice-driven nuance to post-production polish in CapCut—this one covers the full end-to-end workflow.

Nova asks the big questions (and calls out Steve’s “grumpy old man” persona), while Steve walks through how this technology lowers the barrier to animated storytelling—and why it’s just the beginning.

Whether you’re building digital characters, telling visual stories, or just curious about AI-powered creativity, this episode will open new doors.
