Use cases
Bring a companion avatar to life
The still you already approved starts moving instead of sitting there. For a companion or chat product, a short looping performance does more for presence than another paragraph of persona text.
Animate art you own
Illustrations, character sheets and commissioned art become short performances without redrawing anything. The input is the artwork you already have rights to.
Reaction clips for a series
One character, a handful of short performances, reused across episodes. Cheaper per beat than generating a full shot each time, and the identity comes from the image rather than the prompt.
