Chris & Saleem Save the World, an animated sci-fi comedy made with Zapters

Hi guys, I am a aspiring storyteller/developer. Wanted to share with you guys my first short:

Chris & Saleem Save the World, an animated sci-fi comedy. It’s a vertical and 2:40 long.

Why vertical and so short? Because I think it really fits with modern viewing on the phone, not taking too long and of course not so heavy for your wallet. I want to build an episode also with less than 15$. I find a lot of platforms are built to get out of you every credit you can buy rather than actually helping you with workflows that help you get your story done and without spending ton of money.

And I wanted to do it right from my phone. The scripting, generating, editing, music scoring.

Thats why I built Zapters is an AI story studio mobile app for recurring characters, persistent worlds, and complete short-form episodes. Focused on storytelling. I am now rolling it for private beta, if you are interested head out to zapters.app

Great visuals and storytelling. The shots and editing look great. Good storytelling!

Thanks! This was a proof of concept for the app I am working on, if you are intrested sign up for beta, I can give you some free credits to get started as I am looking for feedback :+1:

The dynamic camera work immediately caught my attention and made me want to see what happens next. I also loved how the story begins in an ordinary alley and then opens into another world—it feels like the start of a much bigger adventure. I’d be curious to know more about the AI models and workflow you used in Zapters, especially for the camera movement and the transition between those worlds.

That was absolutely brilliant. Can’t wait for the next installment. Will there be one?

Thanks! At this moment there won’t be a second, this was more of a sample project I made while I was developing Zapters. This entire project had to be done in the app was my goal, so the built in workflows I made in Zapters was really thanks to this project and what I learned. But I really like the response I have gotten to this, and honestly means a lot.

Hey! Thanks a lot! If you are interested in the workflow, I made a post about it here: Workflow I used to make my Pixar like AI: Chris & Saleem Save The World
