Inspiration
Panda Miranda was inspired by the desire to create professional, high-quality 3D animations for children. The goal was to combine music, creativity, and the latest AI technology into charming, original productions that feel like studio-level animations, but are created independently.
What I did
I created all visual elements of the project myself—from characters and backgrounds to full 3D animations. The original children’s songs are in Polish and are composed and recorded together with my friends. This way, I could build a fully cohesive world around their music.
How we built it
Graphics & Design: Characters, backgrounds, and visual elements are designed in Photoshop, supported by generative models like Seedream 4 and Nano Banana.
Animation: Combines commercial AI models (Veo 3, Sora 2) and open-source tools like WAN 2.2, rendered locally on an RTX 5090 for full control and high fidelity.
Post-production: All scenes are assembled, polished, and synced with music in Adobe Premiere and After Effects, including camera movement, color grading, and timing adjustments.
Challenges we ran into
Integrating multiple AI models while maintaining a consistent 3D style
Ensuring smooth animation and lip-sync for Polish vocals
Optimizing local rendering to avoid glitches and long processing times
Keeping timing and pacing cinematic across all scenes
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating fully original 3D characters and environments
Producing original children’s songs in Polish (with friends)
Successfully combining commercial and open-source AI models in a single workflow
Achieving professional, studio-quality results as a small independent team
What we learned
How to integrate multiple AI tools effectively
How to maintain visual consistency across different rendering systems
How to optimize local rendering for maximum quality
The importance of detailed pre-production in animation pipelines
What's next for Panda Miranda Sings
