[Animated] The Black Ship | Chapter One - One man’s trash is another man’s boom
Added 2025-04-07 15:08:29 +0000 UTCAs there’s no Black Ship episode this week, I spent most of the weekend putting this together.
A little while ago, Ekhinda re-wrote Chapter One, and when I heard there’d be a delay with this week’s episode, I decided to animate it for you.
I’m no expert, so I used my meagre AI skills to create a sort-of-show/episode in the style I could imagine seeing on a streaming service. It’s definitely not Netflix-level—but it was fun to make, and I hope some of you enjoy it too!
I might keep going with Chapter 2 and beyond, depending on your feedback. Let me know in the comments what you think!
If the response is good, it might go up on YouTube this Tuesday in The Black Ship’s usual time slot.
Hope you like it (and please don’t be too mean in the comments 😊)!

2025-04-11 18:10:28 +0000 UTCAt the 10 second mark, we see a squad of fighters. What kind are they?

2025-04-10 02:47:11 +0000 UTCFrom my own opinions, I tend to stay clear of AI generated work. However, if it were to have an AI slave to its creation (AI used to create rough drafts that are then moulded by a Human), I can see myself comming to watch them all.

2025-04-09 17:20:51 +0000 UTCHow cool would it be to see Clara and Redfords POV during this battle?
Colton Petty
2025-04-08 21:41:40 +0000 UTCgood but your wyatt looks 40 lol

2025-04-08 19:55:46 +0000 UTCThat was pretty good.

2025-04-08 13:45:37 +0000 UTCFor me No! I wish Black Ship began with the video. Right now we’re more than halfway through the series and bringing in video is taking away the picture I have in my mind. The Astorian Principality and the people in the Black Ship story I had pictured in my mind started clashing! Sorry I forgot to mention that your video is 100% great but I feel like it lack lots of detail from the story. Again I am sorry introducing video is taking all the beautiful images of Black Ships

2025-04-08 09:05:55 +0000 UTCOh, don't worry. This re-write was done because Chapter 1 was made by the original author of The Black Ship that disappeared long ago. We thought it'd be prudent for it to be done for various reasons. This is the only rewritten chapter that's going to be made.

2025-04-08 05:08:54 +0000 UTCPlease do not rewrite anything. Your work will stand on its own. If you want to make a ‘what-if’ side story maybe ok if it makes sense, but please don’t rewrite anything. As it is, the last ‘what-if’ nearly rewired my brain and wasn’t necessary. IMHO. Thanks for your good work.

2025-04-08 04:23:14 +0000 UTCWell Scifistories1977 great animated video of the 1st episode of TBS. Though it could use some tidying up, visuals from time to time for like a second get mashed up but then smooth out. Also like at 12:00 mark there's missiles coming from behind the Corvus Corvette. Which makes no sense, there was no ship behind them. Great job with Redford!

2025-04-08 01:05:26 +0000 UTCIts a little different but the video gives interested take on the black ship
Matthew Green
2025-04-07 23:47:39 +0000 UTCNot a format for me, the great thing about a good book is that characters always look exactly as they should. Rewrites always spoil the original.

2025-04-07 22:31:01 +0000 UTCA big thanks to SciFistories1977 for spicing up Monday and creating a great intro animation, and going the extra parsect to tease us with how The Black Ship taste in a visual media. Great Job SciFiStories1977, you have a great passion and it is appreciated.
T Griffetts
2025-04-07 21:55:17 +0000 UTCWow, really nice work scifistories1977. I noticed Clara is a super hottie in your animation, as she should be.😊👍
Dingo
2025-04-07 21:11:53 +0000 UTCThis is good video, this teach would be great in another year or so! But this is still good to see)
Johnathan Greeley
2025-04-07 20:41:39 +0000 UTCwhat a great way to quell the mob! may I have more please sir?
Greg Hampton
2025-04-07 19:41:43 +0000 UTCThank you for your comment. The fact you noticed and said it, actually makes it all worth it.
Dennis McCarthy
2025-04-07 19:33:41 +0000 UTCI want to say a massive big huge thank you to scifi stories 1977 as it is his passion, dedication and commitment towards all of us that is enabling us to enjoy this and other stories. He could have simply said as there is no black ship then tough for everyone.. But yet again I can see he is working hard to ensure we get something. Hence more than ever I want to say thanks for Scifi stories 1977 who is really the one who deserves all the accolades and praise.

2025-04-07 19:17:42 +0000 UTCWell done
Mike A Pyatt
2025-04-07 18:30:22 +0000 UTCThe writing and animation is amazing but I am laughing at how Wyatt looks 20 years older than he is 🤣
MoMo
2025-04-07 18:15:08 +0000 UTCThat was different and damn enjoyable, i like the way the chapters been fleshed out a bit as well, here's hoping chapter 2 gets the same treatment, and it definately belongs on Youtube.
Drew - UK
2025-04-07 18:08:43 +0000 UTCReally nice for a first chapter. Have you been creating long? My guess - you will get better as you produce more chapters. Very enjoyable and well crafted...........
Mike Holman
2025-04-07 18:08:37 +0000 UTCHoly crap please make more! Loved this animated episode!
Steuck22074
2025-04-07 17:57:17 +0000 UTCThe visuals are really good, and a agree that if you put it on youtube, it would draw more people to watch the series. What really caught my ear was the individual AI voices. I really loved that. It was more like an actual audio book. Going forward, I would like to to see that incorporated in to future chapters.
Donald Carroll
2025-04-07 17:39:30 +0000 UTCYou did an awesome job perhaps Wyatt could be a little different but but all in all I think it's incredible
Mark Pullin
2025-04-07 17:37:22 +0000 UTCjust an observation. why is the word hull so difficult to pronounce. just something I've noticed in countless stories I've listened to
newstart627
2025-04-07 16:58:45 +0000 UTCLiked it a lot. Wyatt, sorry but no, he's supposed to be 21' looks 44 😂 Correct that and you're onto a winner. Kalan looks incredibly like one of my earlier iterations of the character which I find interesting in respect of how AI works.
Jayne
2025-04-07 16:56:33 +0000 UTCactually i think this animated episode should go right to youtube asap i think its a great way to promote more blackship episodes and the channel by sending it to people to watch
David Lynch
2025-04-07 16:45:49 +0000 UTCFun to watch. I envisioned Wyatt being a little handsome, but now that I think about it this depiction is right. Great job to the creators.
Jeff Wright
2025-04-07 16:44:25 +0000 UTCLove it
David Lynch
2025-04-07 16:43:18 +0000 UTCGreat job illustrating and introduction but I have concerns about trying to do all the chapters. I was under the impression the user agreement for AI could impact the Intellectual Property Rights (IP). I would be sure to review that before pushing to much content. An introduction or odd chapter or two might not be issue but better safe than sorry.
T Griffetts
2025-04-07 16:41:56 +0000 UTCLoved the animated series it will tied me over for another week thanks for the thought
Lisa Engel
2025-04-07 16:39:37 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed this 🤗 Maybe in the future we get some more, please. To our friend Ekhidna, thanks for all your hard work. Have the break you need. Take a step back and sort your idea's. Don't worry to much, we will be here when you are ready for the next chapter. No pressure 😊 In the meantime we have our host to keep us engaged in the story. Big thanks to both of you 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Alexander Weigl
2025-04-07 16:36:20 +0000 UTCI really loved it and I hope you keep doing those visuals I don't care what anybody says about AI or anything else I can't do that and I really believe it enhanced the story beyond amazement so am I happy? absolutely do I need more data you know it more d a t t a a t a.... And thank you
Carl Shultz
2025-04-07 16:35:22 +0000 UTCI agree, Wyatt looks a tad bit old, But Clara (imo) looks about how I pictured her, 18-20ish.
Old Man Gibb
2025-04-07 16:20:19 +0000 UTCThis was incredible! Thank you so much for your work!
Anthony Romanov
2025-04-07 16:19:26 +0000 UTCThe characters looked good . Only thing is Wyatt looked a little old and Clara a little young for their ages . Clara looked 14 and Wyatt 30 . Redford looked perfect, just how I imagined him.
Darwin Johnson
2025-04-07 16:13:28 +0000 UTCI said your sneak peak was an Awesome video but This Video is way way better it is Truly an Awesome video. You should put it on YouTube. You are getting good at the AI Video production and Thank You for filling in this week .

2025-04-07 16:11:52 +0000 UTCThat was great... please continue with your creative work.
Kenneth Henry
2025-04-07 16:06:56 +0000 UTCHaving own imagination, watching another person's(ai) is trippy. I think I will skip this own and watch it, if it gets non AI production.

2025-04-07 16:03:45 +0000 UTCAwesomeness..!! I Absolutely Love It..!!
william lemon
2025-04-07 16:03:13 +0000 UTCOh man, This is AWESOME>>>>>!!!! Thank you.
Old Man Gibb
2025-04-07 15:52:46 +0000 UTCGreat Effort! I certainly enjoyed the episode. I suspect if you do continue on with other chapter you will get significantly more proficient. So much so, you may want to remake your earlier attempts. Honestly, I have rewatched these chapters so much that it would be nice to see them in a slightly different format or presentation.
cjoflv
2025-04-07 15:51:36 +0000 UTCI think you did a great job. Pictures during the story helps with visualizing the story and the this animated one added alittle extra. The use of multiple voices also made a good improvement to the listening experience (the regular narrator voice is also great on its own). I also liked some of the alterations to the first one............I like both equally. Thank you for giving us something to enjoy while ekhinad recharges the creative juices. We totally understand that sometimes writers need a small break to get the creative juices flowing and with so many directions it can go it's hard to pick just one.

2025-04-07 15:48:48 +0000 UTCThis will help with my withdrawals! Lol

2025-04-07 15:48:07 +0000 UTCI actually really like it especially if the author is going to rewrite some of the older chapters you should definitely do this more often 🤩👍
Amerhen
2025-04-07 15:47:04 +0000 UTCThis is going to be a hit!!! If you keep going people will love it!
Michael O'Brien
2025-04-07 15:44:03 +0000 UTCOMG!!! So great I hope we get more!!! That was amazing work
Michael O'Brien
2025-04-07 15:42:45 +0000 UTCPlease! Continue with chapter two.
Tom Cayton
2025-04-07 15:39:18 +0000 UTCThat was cool! Satisfied the black ship craving for the week lol.
Eric Bray
2025-04-07 15:39:00 +0000 UTCWell I'll start off by stating I had to watch, not just listen. The imaginary added to the story. I'll just say the movie did not disappoint. Very much captured all my own musing of the charitors were just as I imaged them to be @scifistories1977 well done!
Mutt
2025-04-07 15:36:02 +0000 UTCI liked the multiple voices. Helps to distinguish between characters. Most illustrations were very good.
Daniel Davis
2025-04-07 15:32:58 +0000 UTCNice
Duane Jones
2025-04-07 15:30:29 +0000 UTCJust planed to restart listening so this came witht perfect timing
Inge Nilsen
2025-04-07 15:24:12 +0000 UTCDude you knocked it out of the park ,really well done ✌️✌️
Mark Clark
2025-04-07 15:20:26 +0000 UTCThats really good.
Oliver Push
2025-04-07 15:19:46 +0000 UTCThanks. some of the images were not easy to get right (some weren't right!) but I think it gives a good sence of what an animated version might look like.
Dennis McCarthy
2025-04-07 15:13:17 +0000 UTCOkay I LOVE this. You should definitely load it to YouTube
