n April 2026 I had done a photoshoot of the 1/6 scale doll "Penelope". I did create a 10 minute video, did crop it to fit 9:16 frame. But I never published it, because I was expecting that it would be turned down by those adult online sites, because it is AI and because it is "just" a doll.
Now I revisited the mix, took the NSFW ending out, and here it is: the new introduction of Penelope.
last year I began publishing my videos with content providers other than YouTube and TikTok. YouTube in particular has strict rules regarding content, and much of my videos were deemed not suitable.
It turns out, however, that also other video hosting website object to videos which show women who are animated with AI tools. I had to show proof-of-consent - which is quite difficult for a doll to obtain. Or easy, depends how you view it.
In any case, some of these hosting services were then satisfied when I could show convincingly that these are not deep-fake videos of real women, but are genuinely original doll animations. OK, so be it.
But just before Christmas, the web hosting company Faphouse deleted all my videos. Interesting - they do have a lot of smut, but my videos of dolls doing NSFW things were not acceptable. https://faphouse.com/
That is what they wrote:
After an internal audit, we have determined that the content in question violates our platform guidelines, and as a result, your studio OneSixthuals has been deactivated.
We appreciate your creativity and enthusiasm in uploading AI-generated videos. However, we would like to clarify our requirements regarding the appearance of characters in such content.
At this time, we are unable to verify whether the performer shown in your videos is an AI-generated character or a real person. When there is any uncertainty, we are required to treat the depicted character as if they were a real human performer, which means documentation for each co-performer is necessary to comply with our guidelines and industry regulations.
You are welcome to continue creating and uploading AI-generated videos in the future, but we kindly ask that the characters do not resemble real people, either visually or stylistically. Ensuring a clearly non-human, stylized appearance will help avoid compliance issues and future restrictions.
OK, so they closed it.
And I decided to make a video, simply SFW, where dolls explain that they are dolls, and I made this for the New Year 2026. I did hope that only idiots would take these dolls for real women, and that it is very easy to verify that the "performers" in this vide were dolls.
Well, there is nothing wrong with dolls who are being animated with AI to look like real women, is there? And this is a very decent SFW video, no nudity, nothing really obscene. There is no violation of anything, no privacy violation, no woman's rights are hurt.
So I did post this video on Faphouse.
And - it was rejected.
Here is what these idiots wrote:
Your video The Dolls Begin the New Year 2026 has been unpublished by our moderators.
This video, along with all posts featuring it, are no longer shown on site. To avoid any similar cases in the future, please refer to our Terms of use.
Reason: Your video has been unpublished by our moderators along with all posts featuring it, and will no longer be displayed on our site. Unfortunately, FapHouse doesn’t allow such content on the platform.
I am still wondering: what is wrong with this video that it violates some stupid idiotic guidelines of Faphouse?
OK, I will not post anything on Faphouse anymore, I am through with them. I will make my money somewhere else, and I will give other websites a hare of my profit then. These guys at Faphouse have not realized that AI is the future of porn. They cling to their mantra of "NO AI" and "NO realistic looking AI rendition of women".
They soon will not exist anymore, they will be out of business soon, if they continue this.
I will post this somewhere else, and I have already successfully posted it.
Cost is about $1.50 per minute. It allows to use the end frame of a video to be the starting frame of the next video - allowing quite long video sequences. Quality is excellent, rarely there are any artifacts.
And if provided explicitly with start and end pic, one really can tell a great visual story.
In recent months, well, maybe since a year, an application of AI technology is really taking off: and that is the generation of videos.
The fundamental principle for such a generation of videos is like this:
1. An image is needed. This can be either a real photograph, or an image that is generated by AI though a text prompt. The latter of course provides large freedom, but needs often refinement, because the initial prompt may not give the desired result. But with this method, anything is possible. Even unrealistic images can be created, for example women with non-realistic physical features. One can also create a specific style, be it Anime, Cartoon or other. It appears that many of the character creations generated with this method are young cute women, and they do appear quite similar. But that is misleading and does not show the full potential, but shows only the bias of the creators, i.e. the ones who write the prompts. There are wonderful examples of mature females being generated who are not really anymore those young attractive child-like girls, but who show in their faces the full experience of an exhausting life. It is these images which carry the most innovation in this new evolving art domain. There are many AI models, trained on specific sceneries, styles, and they can be modified by LoRas to focus on a very specific scenario and create realistic results.
But also real photographs can be used as input image. This is somewhat limiting, because there is the "reality" which one has not so much influence upon. But on the other hand, this also allows a very tight control on what one really wants to see, without depending on a vague text prompt, the interpretation of which is not really fully controllable by the AI concepts. One can put exactly the clothing on that one wants to be seen, and one can exactly shape the scenery. Because these images will contain real people, some of the AI video sites actually forbid using such images, for the sake of privacy and protection of those being in the picture.
The AI-generated imagery can vary from fully photorealistic to cartoonish, while the real imagery has the sense of a real environment and creates an aura of full realism.
--- For animating the OneSixthual dolls with such AI videos, only the real-imagery can be useful as input images: pictures of these dolls are being taken, and here already is the full creative process in the setting up of the scenery and taking the photos, portraits etc.
2. In the next step, this input image is made into a video by image-to-video processing. Also for this there is a large number of AI models which performs this task. I have not yet really fully grasped which model is useful for which task or action, and these models can even be extended again by specific Loras for creating videos that relate to a specific situation or action. The description of what is to happen in the video is again done by a text prompt, describing the actions of the people in the image and possible some other things that are supposed to happen.
These videos are usually quite short: sometimes 3 seconds, sometimes 5 seconds, and currently also often up to 10 seconds. There is one approach which can extend an existing video snippet up to 20 seconds.
So in order to create a real longer video or a film, these short snippets need to be concatenated. This is often a problem, when the one video snippet ends in one situation that is not compatible with the next video snippet that is following and that was created from a different input image. Now this can really be a problem: the video will become inconsistent, and one might have to cut and edit even these small video snippets to achieve a more or less logical flow. Overall, this will create a video that is full of cuts, with very short scenes, which sometimes repeat an action from a different viewpoint. This may lead to an interesting but also a but hectic flow of the film, and if the inconsistencies are too large, this will no longer be a credible course of action and story.
There is a solution: Some of these AI image-to-video models offer the input of a starting image and an end image. The algorithm will the interpolate in between these two images, following the instructions that are given by a text prompt. Ideally, when the video snippet really actually ends with the end image provided, one can then create seamless scenes, where each end image is the start image of the next video snippet. This works not always correctly - I have seen AI models where the end image was actually not reached. But I also have had many good experiences where one could nicely concatenate these video snippets, and the resulting video was a smooth and seamless visual description over several minutes. This would emulate the film technique of a film reel recording a scene without any cut, or of a theatre play. The creative possibilities are endless and are very encouraging. And then a cut that really presents a new scene can be used to structure and segment the whole film. This would be the way into the future of AI video, and I am trying to pursue this by creating long seamless scenes with this technique.
There is even a further option of not only adding 2 images, but a whole series of "elements", i.e. individual images through which a small video snippet should interpolate (I have seen this with up to 7 elements). This really gives full control and extends the step-motion technique into a fully seamless video creation tool.
This is the current state of the art of AI video creation. I hope that a seamless generation of video snippets will be possible for a longer time than 10 seconds, because this short time is only able to create a small action but not a longer continuous shot with a continuing activity.
The start-end and the elements technique is already very helpful, and I am currently experimenting with it. For a smooth consistent video and story flow I find these techniques absolutely necessary. But there is also an aesthetic reason for using only those short video snippets, which then create a flow that is frequently interrupted by cuts.
At all those web sites for using AI to create images or videos, one term appears often: "LoRa" = Low-Rank Adaptation. It turns out that these are extensions of the original model which add to the original model without that model having to be re-trained. Hereby a lot of computing time is saved.
Here is the explanation of LoRa from one of its inventors at Microsoft, Edward Hu:
In the world of generating images and videos with AI, a LoRa provides a way of extending the capabilities for behaviours or visuals of the image or video to be generated. This could refer to a specific visual style, or to particular actions that a video should show.
This is in particular useful for the generation of NSFW images and videos: here, the site https://civitai.com/ shows a huge variety of LoRas provided by users, for all kinds of situations, actions, etc., e.g. specific age of the person displayed.
In December 2021 I began taking pictures of dolls. These are dolls in scale 1:6, similar to the Barbie doll scale. These dolls look very realistic, and I realised that one could create scenes in which dolls interact.
So I began taking picture series, with still shot of the dolls, then putting captions and speech bubbles like in a cartoon. This way I was able to create "Graphic Novels".
Then in summer 2024 I discovered that AI technology can actually animate those static doll pictures. So I experimented a bit and was fascinated that I could give my dolls a voice. Face animation is done automatically, fitting to the text they are speaking.
And so I began experimenting, and I will share the results here on this blog. I will introduce a few of the apps that I have used, but I must state that this will just be a snapshot of the current situation: the technology is very much in flux, things are rapidly changing, and there are new innovations everyday. So my "reviews" may get outdated soon, but at least for now they may provide a starting point for those who are interested in follow these developments or give them a try.
