Career Design School (CDS) students are making waves in the world of digital storytelling as they take part in the innovative Slapstick Animation Project, a cutting-edge initiative launched by Purple Turtle that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to redefine creative character animation.

The project — which blends traditional slapstick humour with state-of-the-art AI tools — aims to explore fresh narrative forms and interactive media experiences. Designed to push the boundaries of storytelling and animation workflows, the initiative invites young creators to experiment with AI-assisted design, motion generation, and cinematic sequencing.

This Christmas-themed animation video demonstrates the creative potential of generative tools when married with human imagination. CDS students contributed directly to the animation pipeline, participating in character concepting, scene layout, comic timing, and AI integration — showcasing both technical skill and artistic ingenuity.

Faculty mentors from CDS highlighted that the project gives students hands-on experience with technologies that are shaping the future of media, entertainment, and digital content production. Students were introduced to real-world challenges in animation storytelling, bridging academic learning with industry-standard workflows.

Commenting on the initiative, representatives from Purple Turtle emphasised that AI is not replacing animators but empowering them — acting as a collaborative engine to spark creativity and unlock storytelling possibilities that were previously out of reach.

The collaboration also reflects CDS’s ongoing mission to equip its students with future-ready skills, ensuring its talent pool remains globally competitive in fast-growing digital sectors.

With projects like this, CDS continues to reaffirm its standing as a launchpad for innovation, where young creators are empowered to blend art, humour, and technology to forge new pathways in animation and entertainment.
