The Cryptic Case of Joe Larson

The moment I saw what Wonder Studio was capable of, I knew I had to experiment with the closed beta (you know I love my experiments)! And guess what? Wonder Studio is pretty amazing, simple to use, and creates incredible possibilities.
Although WS seems built around the concept of replacing live action performances with 3D characters, I wanted to see if the AI would replace an animated character since animation is the medium I enjoy working in currently. I'm happy to report that it actually works! Sure, the results would've been more impressive if I had shot live action footage of myself acting out the scene but Unreal is far more convenient.
The tech's not perfect yet, obviously, but really cool. It would be incredible to be able to adjust lighting on the 3D character model pass, add 3D props, and create masks.
