🐾 Animating Your Pet’s Digital Twin with AI

Today, I’m sharing an exciting experience I had with Runway’s Act-One feature! I used it to animate Hazel’s digital twin (a fine-tuned model made from Hazel’s own images) and an AI-generated character. Act-One lets you take a still image and overlay a video of a real person, syncing expressions, blinks, and even lip movements to make your images come alive. 👀
