I have been regularly posting unsuitable submissions to the thread for just under a month now, and so I would again like to enquire about an entry into the ROTC. This is something I enjoy doing a lot, and so it would mean a lot to me to be able to join the Elite Guard Barracks.

I've noticed none of the senior officers have posted to the thread since I started posting, so I'm wondering if I will have to wait for one to be available before we can discuss this any further. Aside from that, thank you for having me here so far, and I shall be eagerly awaiting a reply!

The senior officers like many of the other members of the EGB are usually quiet to enable younger members or prospects to post items that they find in the site, make mistakes to foster learning opportunities and watch how things come into the portal

Some of them are absent because of personal reasons or life getting in the way but don't assume that they are gone though, you never know who's watching

At any rate I think that you would make a good candidate for the EGB/ROTC

Oh I remember it was on the board before.
Just that I don't know if it was taken down because of the portal guidelines or it was just blammed. Taken down and blammed doesn't mean the same thing, at least if it's blammed, you CAN improve the work to be in a different quality, but if it's taken down, you HAVE to remove the offending material out of it.

This AI short film is roughly based on one of my old comics and is more of an experiment. An attempt to produce a movie with the currently available AI tools. When I realized that any interaction between characters with current AI-to-video generators was almost impossible and would take a lot of effort to accomplish, I decided to finish the short film earlier than planned, which is why there is very little physical interaction and the ending is very abrupt.

I may, if there is enough demand, illustrate my workflow for creating this movie. Enjoy.

Hold on and wait a second!

Why was my report dismissed?

An AI is doing most of the creative work here with the users prompts to tell it how to situate a character or things like that
this can't be a valid use of AI animation

I/we/you can't just write a lengthy paragraph of 30 minutes, spend 20 minutes researching how to get characters to interact, get told it is impossible and then decide to scrap that idea and put out a product that would take months to make in an afternoon

I said I loved it because of how blatant the rule violation was, this kind of thing would set a terrible president for animators

Yeah, that's a bit concerning, especially since they're straight up admitting it in the description. It might be something you have to DM Tom/another senior staff member about.
