Create animation with AI —
one brief, one style, every shot.
You write the brief. Picco-AI shoots the film. Concept, character sheets, shot list and a style lock in every prompt: cartoon, anime, 3D, stop-motion look or storybook. Output as MP4 or an edit package for Final Cut, Premiere and Resolve.
Animation with AI in Picco-AI means: you write a brief in plain language, and a planned animated film comes out — concept, characters, shot list, images, clips and sound. The “Animation” project type fixes a style family at the start: 2D cartoon, anime, stylised 3D, stop-motion look, storybook or a flat motion-graphics look. From that choice the pipeline derives a style lock that sits in every image and clip prompt, plus rules against photorealism. A validator checks each shot list. Nano Banana 2 generates the images, Veo 3.1 the clips; voice-over and music are produced in the same run. The result is an MP4 or an edit package for Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
Which animation styles can Picco-AI produce?
Six style families. You choose once when you create the project; from then on the style lock keeps every shot on the same line. Cel-type styles (cartoon, anime, stop motion, storybook) run with hold frames “on twos”, motion graphics and 3D CGI at full frame rate — 24 fps in every case.
Hand-drawn ink outlines, two-tone cel shadows, squash-and-stretch poses, painted backgrounds. Colour script per sequence.
Sharp linework, hard-edged cel shadows, large expressive eyes, speed lines in action, painterly detailed backgrounds.
Rounded appealing proportions, soft skin shading, warm global illumination. Material palette locked per character.
Puppet look with felt, clay and wood, visible fingerprints and fabric weave, miniature set, slightly jittery motion.
Visible brush strokes, watercolour washes, paper texture, warm limited palette, soft broken pencil line.
Flat vector shapes, crisp edges, generous negative space. Brand palette locked: at most five colours plus neutrals. A picture style — readable on-screen text and charts belong to the Explainer project type.
How does the style stay consistent across every shot?
Four things interlock. The style lock: a global field the pipeline derives from the style family and writes into every shot prompt. Character sheets: each character is described once — silhouette, proportions, colours, clothing — and every shot references that sheet. A per-style negative list that keeps photorealism vocabulary such as “35 mm”, “bokeh” or “film grain” out of the prompts. And the shot-list validator, which checks every shot list and repairs violations before any image is generated. How evenly the video model holds the style is something you see at every sign-off; you regenerate individual shots.
How does an animation project run in Picco-AI?
Three phases, like on set. Plan: brief analysis, concept directions, a concept bible with character sheets and style lock, a validated shot list. Shoot: images, clips, voice-over and music. Hand over: edit and export. You decide how much you see: fully automatic, with sign-off after each stage, or in expert mode.
How is this different from an AI prompt tool?
A prompt tool produces one image per input; the planning stays with you. Picco-AI plans: how many shots the film needs, which character appears when, how long each shot runs. You steer through the brief, the style choice and sign-offs, not frame by frame. That suits teasers, pilots and pitches; frame-accurate character animation remains the animation studio’s job.
Who is AI animation for?
For anyone who wants to see an idea as stylised moving images before budget goes to a studio: brands and agencies, series development, education.
Brand characters and stylised spots without a shoot or cast, in your own brand palette.
A pitch teaser with fixed characters and colour script to convince broadcasters, platforms or funders.
Painterly storybook look for children’s formats, museums and teaching material — without a prior illustration commission.
Explainer video — its own project type (new)
Explainer videos are getting a project type of their own. It starts with the voice: the script sets scenes and timing, the picture follows the sentence. On-screen text, numbers and charts are built on a layer of their own — typeset and readable rather than painted by the video model, numbers only from your data.
Until then, an explainer piece is made in the Animation project type: voice-over, music and images in the chosen style, without that layer.
