My First AI Video Attempt: Zappy’s Debut (Sort Of!)
Published on July 8, 2025
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
☕️ Here’s my very first experiment using Canva’s new Veo 3 AI video generator. I set out to create a truly cartoonish, animated version of my sidekick Zappy, aiming for a fun, feminine, and approachable vibe. The result? Let’s just say Zappy showed up looking a bit more realistic than I expected.
Creating a brand mascot with AI video is definitely a work in progress. I was hoping for more of that playful, cartoon-style character, but the technology has its quirks and surprises. Still, I wanted to share this attempt with you all as part of my learning curve. If you’ve played around with Canva’s AI video tools or have any tips for getting a more “cartoon” look, I’d love to hear your advice.
P.S. I think Zappy was channeling her “realism mode” for this one. Next round: more coffee, more cartoon!
Stay tuned! Zappy’s best look is yet to come!
