PORTRAIT NOTE2:09 FILM
Luke Minaker works in the changing space between established animation craft and new AI production tools. Through Tiny Ghost Studios and BC + AI’s animation programming, he shares a hybrid workflow that starts with story, references, performance, and deliberate shot choices before a model enters the process.
The shared spotlight with Mayumi Rollings is a compact look at that practice. It holds excitement and skepticism in the same frame: faster iteration can open creative doors, but tools still need direction, judgment, and a reason to exist. Luke’s contribution to the room is grounded in making, showing the work, and inviting a closer look at how it was built.
