A friend of mine who is a film editor / educator suggested using a storyline based on Joseph Campbell's concept of the monomyth, which i guess is taught in film school as a template for screen writing. In narratology, and comparative mythology, the hero's journey, or the monomyth, is the common template of stories that involve a hero who goes on an adventure, is victorious in a decisive crisis, and comes home changed or transformed. Campbell describes 17 stages of the monomyth. I liberally interpreted those into a meta story line, and ran it with a few different styles.
Stable diffusion needs very literal text prompts, so the whole meta description of the 17 stages doesn't really play very well in the generated animations. It would be better to create very literal scripts that follow the formula, as opposed to feeding the actual formula into it, which is what i did.
The hero is supposed to return with a 'treasure' in the end, which is kind of amusing when you run the script with 'world's cutest animal' for the style.
