Meet Vaksul, Ginna, and Mock: three original animated characters created for Mantis Digital Media. These examples explore character design, storytelling, AI-assisted animation, and AI-generated character voices.
Each video plays only when you start it.
01 / The First Character
Meet Vaksul.
The first Mantis animated character
A character is more than a visual design. A voice, a point of view, and a small story can turn an illustration into someone an audience wants to meet.
In this example, Vaksul shares a helpful website tip. Original character design, AI-assisted animation, and an AI-generated voice come together in a short character-led presentation.

Meet Ginna.
Vaksul's mother
Characters gain another dimension when they have relationships. Ginna introduces a family connection and a new perspective within the Mantis character world.
Watch Ginna talk about Vaksul in this animated example. Character illustration, storytelling, AI-assisted animation, and an AI-generated voice work together to give the scene its personality.

Meet Mock.
Vaksul's father
Mock brings another character into the family. His first video extends the creative exploration beyond a single character into a connected cast.
This example continues the combination of original character design, AI-assisted animation, and AI-generated character voices — different tools working toward one expressive result.
