A father used MiniMax H3 on Atlas Cloud to animate his daughter's drawings from ages 3-6, feeding in each sketch with prompts for settings and small movements (walking, turning, waving) while preserving the odd shapes and proportions. The walking, camera-glancing results are genuinely creepy.
Seven clips totaling 46 seconds cost $1.75 in video credits; he trimmed them into a 42-second video with each original drawing shown alongside its clip.
