james waterhouse reports. it is and always has been the whole of ukraine which is under attack. kyiv is still moscow s biggest prize. air defences have improved here, but this attack proved too much. translation: i was woken up at 7:30 by a horrible sound. i it was so frightening. the missile was flying and everything was buzzing, so noisy. you are left in no doubt that this was a direct missile strike. the scale of the damage, the size of the blast zone, the heat caused. you re more used to seeing damage caused from falling debris when a missile is intercepted. but this reflects the scale of this russian attack. and scenes like this are being replicated right across ukraine. a lucky escape in kharkiv in the north east. this city is familiar with missile strikes, but not 20 in a single morning. a shopping centre in dnipro in the east, as well as a maternity hospital, were hit. it didn t stop there. this is the port city of odesa in the south, where a residential block was str

the characters weren t designed by illustrators and animators. instead, they were described in english to an ai, which then created them itself. the film was made by william bartlett, who s a creative director from visual effects house framestore, and who, like a lot of generative ai creators at the moment, put it together in his spare time. it started off life as a test. and i wanted to do a test that was more elaborate than just a couple of shots. i wanted to try and string together something which had a bit of narrative to try and drive the kind of ambition of the shots. will actually had to use different generative ai tools for different parts of the process. first, he asked midjourney to come up with some still images of the kind of characters that he wanted. and so i might describe a sort of vintage tin robot playing a trumpet, for example, and then you get a kind of set of images to choose from that you might or might not like. and the great thing is that it takes abou
