Meet Tolu. But how do you bring a character’s personality to life when all you start with is a still image? 🎬 This is me casting Tolu and exploring how her personality translates into performance. Tolu is composed, observant, and restrained. She’s not the type to wear every emotion on her face, and I wanted to see how that would come through in her dialogue, facial expressions, and hand gestures. One of the interesting parts of AI filmmaking is figuring out how to bring a character to life beyond the still image. It’s not just about getting a character to speak or achieving accurate lip-sync. It’s about connecting the dialogue to the emotion, the expressions to the personality, and the body language to the moment. Because creating a character and directing a character are two different things. And that’s the part I’m getting deeper into. 🎥
