I’m going to show  you how you can use Artflow to turn your photos into an actor, an actor into a fictional  character, how to put that character into a scene, and create cinematic shots for animation.&#x20;

### STEP 1:

Once you're on Artflow.AI, go to Character Builder and choose the ‘actor’ tab.

* Click on 'Create your AI Actor', then  'browse' to select your photos.&#x20;
* Remember to choose photos with a variety of clothing and head angles. At least some of them should be without a smile.&#x20;
* Choose gender and age of your character, give them a name, and click 'Start Training'. &#x20;
* The training will take between 10 minutes and half an hour.&#x20;

Noe that there are also are plenty of ready-made Artflow.ai actors to choose from. &#x20;

### STEP 2:&#x20;

Once you have an actor you like, you can use  them to create a character.&#x20;

* Click the 'Character'  tab, then 'Create new character'.&#x20;
* Write a prompt describing what they're supposed to look like.&#x20;
* You can choose the face of an actor from the previous step, or select one of the many  pre-generated AI actors. This is optional.&#x20;
* Click 'Generate' to get a preview.&#x20;
* Add a negative prompt if you want to exclude something. In this case, we don't need a helmet. It's going to make things difficult if we want the actor to talk. &#x20;
* Once you're satisfied with your character, click 'Finalize'.&#x20;
* Type in a name and save your  character. Now you're ready to put them into a scene.&#x20;

### STEP 3: &#x20;

* Click 'create image' to go to Image Studio.&#x20;
* Write a simple prompt.
* &#x20;Choose a matching visual style.&#x20;
* Set aspect  ratio. Horizontal is best for narrative content. &#x20;
* Use Director Mode to precisely set up the character angle and framing of your shot.&#x20;
* Click 'generate' to get your images.

Proceed to generate all the shots and counter shots for your dialogue scene using  a combination of the tools shown above. &#x20;

### STEP 4:&#x20;

Once you've created your shots, you can turn them into a video.&#x20;

* Just click the 'Animate' button to go to Video Studio. It offers multiple camera motion effects and hundreds of AI voices.&#x20;

Here's an example of what an animated scene could look like.&#x20;

"So on top of everything else, I have to deal with your neuroses. You know what they say. I'm not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens."
