Goofy Animation Scrap: Optimus Prime's Secret Second Transformation
Added 2025-11-04 19:55:01 +0000 UTCTransformers in D I S G U I S E
Made this sequence a year ago to experiment with a new model, but scrapped it because there's no real flow between the stages, even though I liked each panel individually.
But decided to see if Veo could actually connect the stages a bit better.
The answer is... "an attempt was made"
Honestly the first six seconds is pretty good as far as AI transformations go I think, but the second stage is probably not gonna be viable for like at least six months.

This one is interesting, because I did use start frames and end frames in Veo 3.1 fast -- that's why the first half of this animation I think looks so good, and actually the truck-robot transformation is relatively solid, with the final frame ending up pretty solid. I did a few variations of the end-frame, but no animation model does perspective movement as the central character gets 'smaller' very well at all -- and so even *with* an endframe in Veo 3.1, it still does this rather goofy thing of her ending up as a 10 story tall woman.

2025-11-04 22:15:36 +0000 UTCI’ve seen grok do some pretty impressive form transformations but really we need to be able to put a start frame and an end frame because when the AI is just on its own the way it tries to get between Tuesday stages is really wonky. I feel like if I had a target, I could make a smoother transition because it could make some smooth transitions to really out there forms and I could definitely send you some examples but without having some level of control on the end point it’s still gonna be funky. Though I will laugh at the idea that prime turns into a cute girl and it’s probably still like 10 stories tall
