How it was made: Key frames made with image generation AI (Nano Banana Pro) were animated with video generation AI (Kling 3.0 Pro). The phone screens, the mascot, the crowd silhouettes and the search box were drawn in code and rendered out. The dialogue and sound effects were made with voice generation AI (ElevenLabs) and the music with music generation AI (Lyria)

Overview

It opens with a gekiga parody, shows the features in a flat explainer part, and closes on a search box.

Subject: The app “Girigiri Note”, which announces food expiry dates (fictional)
Story: At night in the kitchen, an office worker scolded by the tofu at the back of the fridge is saved by a screen that lists food by expiry date and a notification, and finally eats the tofu in a hot pot
Switching the look: The look moves from gekiga scenes to a flat explainer part, a cheering crowd, and a search box at the end

Materials used and the checks on record

Supplied materials: None. The app, the characters and the expiry dates are fictional.
Where the materials came from: The gekiga scenes were made by animating images from image generation AI with video generation AI. The phone screens, mascot, crowd and search box in the explainer part were drawn in code. The voices, music and sound effects were made with generative AI.
Checks on record: We checked 792 frames across the seven gekiga shots, frame by frame, for faces, hands, text inside the picture and resemblance to existing works. There was no readable text or broken hand, and nothing looked close to the 287 existing work images on the site. The loudness is −16 LUFS.
What we did: In the first version, we redid the shots whose motion ran backward and the shot whose background broke, with stronger instructions. For the quiet last four seconds, we extended the end of the music and moved the closing chord closer to the end (version 1 to version 2).
Left as it was: The gekiga-style held frames, where the background moves only once every three frames, are a trait of the generated video, so we kept them.
