Watch Chad Nelson's 'Critterz', "an animated short designed with AI"

Using characters and scenes he generated with Dall-E, writer / director Chad Nelson and creative agency Native Foreign have made the animated short Critters, which recently debuted on YouTube. The five-minute film, which was partly financed by OpenAI and is a cross between something from Pixar and a David Attenborough-style documentary, we meet a cast of cute, furry creatures who live in an imaginary jungle. While the assets were generated using AI, Chad wrote the script himself. He used actors to record the voices and the film was made together with a team of animators. His son also worked on the film, as an Unreal Engine programmer.
