Three starting steps
Attach the saved AMATO image to an image-to-video generator. Paste an instruction asking for a single blink. If offered, choose five seconds, landscape format, and no audio; check the estimated credit cost before running it.
What this example used
The introductory example used Higgsfield connected to ChatGPT, with the saved image as the first frame. The displayed estimate was 45 credits, but costs vary with service and settings. You can also use another image-to-video tool.
Compare request and result
AMATO closed and reopened his eyes. His red hair, amber eyes, and red-and-black clothes remained visible. His eyes stayed closed longer than a quick blink, however, while his smile, falling petals, and the water also moved. The request for only a blink and a still background was not followed completely. This example is a practice generation, not a finished episode cut.
