“Lorna” by Nick Cremers | AI Animation Teaser | Made during STORY&CODE Residency
Lorna is a black and white animated mystery/horror story that plays out on the coast of Ireland in the 50's. Ben the young son of a fisherman witnesses his mother throwing herself off a cliff. She reappears unscaved back at the house and starts displaying a behavior that leads Ben to question if she really is his mother.
This teaser was created by Nick Cremers (3D generalist/animator/VFX artist by trade and storyteller by night) and made using a mix of traditional and AI video tools including Stable Diffusion, EbSynth, Firefly, Cinema4D, Runway GEN-2, and After Effects.”
