018 Real Time Unedited

Dear ones, God bless you!

Thank you again. With your support, you show that you still hold on to traditional animation as a valued art form. Another real-time recording of the inking progress. Every frame in this movie is fully hand-drawn.

The effort of the artist is the only proper way to glorify God. Just like he didn't throw the Gospel from the heavens, but asked man to write it and participate in His work, He invites His dear artists to picture His stories by hand, not with the use of Artificial Intelligence, or any other tool, that replaces art and defies its purpose.

AI "animation" is not animated. It is generated. In order for something to be animated, it needs to exist, and then be given life, a voice, a breath. Just like God gave us life, the artist gives life to his drawings. The AI can only create dead images, collected from a giant database of stolen art. Glueing imagery together that was never meant to be connected, that was created for a whole different purpose, in an attempt to please the consumer.

Sinai Animation doesn't use any AI in the animation progress. Our dear saint Panteleimon is hand-drawn, inspired by holy iconography. His image is made from living hands, with the blessings of many fathers, and the saint's blessing himself.

Thank you for joining us on our journey and God bless you always!
