Pika demos Motion Transfer: one photo plus one clip moves any character
lmoroney · x · 2026-10-19
Pika showcased Motion Transfer inside its ChatGPT plugin: pick one photo of a character and one clip of a move (dance, fight, walk), and the tool transfers the motion beat for beat, including facial expressions, while optionally keeping the original audio. The author suggests a classroom exercise for animation and game design teachers: film one clean reference performance and apply it to three different character designs to compare which reads best on screen.
