AI pipelines for translation and animation

A translation tool with human review, and a pipeline that turns webtoons into animated episodes, for a comics app.

The problem

For a comics platform, translation and animation work grows with every new title.

What we built

  • A translation tool that follows the glossary and character notes, with a person confirming every line. A non-engineer on the team built the first version in two days, and about 90% of its translations were accepted as-is.
  • An animation pipeline from webtoon panels to storyboards, video, voices and edit
  • Quality checks at each stage, with a record of every retake

Where the time went

We spent more time designing for character consistency and quality checks than on generation itself.
