SHARKIE / IDLE LOCAL RECORDING · PLAY TO WATCH

01 / FROM STILL TO SMALL CREATURE

Sharkie

A prepared source becomes an idle. A hand enters; the character reacts.

The idle was generated with Wan I2V. The pet response is a separate MiniMax H3 recording.

A little life.
A lot of experiments.

03 / SAVED GENERATION

Follow the graph.

Load the source. Sample the motion. Decode the frames. Remove the background and join the alpha.

The idle graph requests 33 frames; the WebM is the later padded export.

Signal

A rule, a seed and a shape that emerges. A captured moment from the browser motion study.

Some things render
better at night.
