My short film made in LTX 2.3: "touch". Including a breakdown with WF of how it was done (in less than 24hrs for FREE)

A filmmaker used a custom LTX 2.3 LoRA to produce a complete short film in under a day for free.

Deep Dive

An independent filmmaker has demonstrated the rapid production capabilities of personalized AI tools by creating a complete 1-minute short film, 'touch,' in under 24 hours using a custom LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) model for LTX Studio 2.3. The project was executed entirely for free, showcasing how creators can leverage fine-tuned AI models to bypass traditional production constraints. The creator used a self-trained 'Dispatch-style' LoRA—a compact model that adapts a base AI to a specific aesthetic—though noted it functions more as a 'character LoRA wrapped around a style LoRA' due to its dataset structure.

To maintain visual consistency—a common challenge with AI generation—the creator employed a hybrid workflow. Base scenes were generated 100% using the custom LoRA with detailed cinematic prompts describing lighting, composition, and character details. For other elements, they used AI Studio's Nano Banna Pro model, acknowledging that large multimodal models (LMMs) often produce 'generic AI anime' looks without the specific style guidance. Key techniques included meticulous prompt engineering to describe characters without the LoRA's trigger words, thereby generating original characters while managing inevitable 'character bleed' like recurring costume details. This project, created for a contest under time pressure, highlights a practical, iterative approach to AI-assisted filmmaking.

Key Points
  • Used a custom-trained 'Dispatch-style' LoRA for LTX Studio 2.3 to control the film's aesthetic
  • Produced the 1-minute film 'touch' in under 24 hours with a $0 budget using free tools
  • Combined LoRA generation with AI Studio's Nano Banna Pro, using prompt engineering to manage style consistency
