Character Animation
What is it
AI character animation covers creating and animating consistent characters across a video — including maintaining a character's appearance from shot to shot, generating expressions and movement, and combining AI tools with traditional animation principles like timing and weight.
Why it matters
Consistent characters are what make animated stories genuinely engaging rather than a series of disconnected clips — mastering character consistency is the single biggest jump in quality between an amateur AI animation project and one that feels professionally made.
Exam tip
Keep a reference sheet of your character's key visual details (colours, proportions, distinctive features) and refer back to it in every prompt — character consistency problems almost always stem from vague or drifting descriptions rather than a limitation of the tool itself.
