AI Puppet Short | Character Animation + Original Song 2022 Experiment Role: Writer, Songwriter, Producer, Animator Tools: Runway (Gen-1 or early Gen-2), Ableton Live, After Effects One of my earliest AI animation experiments, The Phil Dickle Show, introduces a grinning, green country crooner with a jingle in his heart and his pickle in his hand.
