Loovie

Anyone who grew up on anime has a film in their head, and making it has meant a desktop, a GPU and a different subscription for every step. Loovie puts the whole pipeline in one mobile app: describe a scene, keep the same characters across every shot, lay it out on a storyboard and finish it in a timeline editor with music, captions and effects.

AI video tools arrived as a sprawl: one service to generate a clip, another to keep a character looking the same, a desktop editor to cut it together, and a subscription for each. The people who most want to make short animated stories, creators posting to TikTok and Instagram, do not have a GPU and do not want a workstation. They have a phone.

Loovie compresses the studio into that phone. Tell Leah, the in-app creative partner, what the scene is and she drafts the shot list; save a character once and it keeps its face and outfit across every shot and every project; plan the story on a storyboard canvas; then edit on a timeline with music, beats, animated captions, voiceover and effects, and export clean. One prompt can become a six-shot sequence, a recorded movement can drive a character, and users with their own hardware can plug in their own models. The company is Australian, founded by Karel Malbroukou, and grew its audience by showing what the app makes and letting creators try it.
