Lu: McFLY V - Johnny B. Goode

Lu's 57-second fan animation redraws the Johnny B. Goode scene from Back to the Future in the comic book look of the animated Spider-Man films. The lip sync and the playing drift off the music, and the style carries it anyway.

We never knew we wanted a Spider-Verse version of the "Johnny B. Goode" scene from Back to the Future, and after Lu's 57-second short it is hard to picture a better way to start the day. Lu (@luthe2nd), who runs Project 2nd Studio, calls it a fan animation featuring Marty McFly, and it is fun and nostalgia on two fronts at once.

The colors and the character movement come straight out of the animated Spider-Man films, with a palette that jumps off comic book pages. Yet the kid at the mic is still recognizably Michael J. Fox, tearing through his song from the future at the school dance.

The one letdown is sync, because the lip movement and the playing drift away from the music. It is easy to forgive for this much style and pizzazz, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Lu made it on Higgsfield, and if you have made something like it, tag us so we can take a look.

Umesh's FLUX 3 park film is flawless until a single leaf lands

Umesh's 15-second downtown park film holds one nostalgic, film-stock grade across nine shots, animated with FLUX 3 from a Midjourney v8.2 still he made with a public style code. The only giveaway is a dry leaf that lands on a scooter seat with no bounce. He hasn't said which platform, prompt or settings made the video.

A sunlit downtown park with a huge old tree at its center, scooters parked in its shade on the grass, palm trees and glass skyscrapers rising behind

Low morning sun slides across a downtown park. An old tree stands in the middle of the lawn with a row of scooters parked in its shade, palms line the far side, and glass towers rise behind everything. The camera drifts up the trunk, tilts into the canopy and settles on the scooters, where one dry brown leaf drops onto a seat and stays there. Only in the last two shots does anyone step into the story: an old man and a small girl in a yellow dress, walking hand in hand past the tree and away down the path.

The 15-second film was posted on X on Monday 12 October by Umesh (@umesh_ai), a creator, filmmaker and developer with about 48,000 followers who is also an Adobe Firefly Ambassador. His caption is a single line: "Flux 3 is awesome at keeping the base image style consistent through out." It is our Video of the Day, and on that claim he is right.

Disney bid $20 million to license some of bankrupt Character.AI's code, while most of the startup's staff joined Disney. The app, its users and their chats are not part of the deal, and rival bids can still top it.
