A Day With… Track
The A Day With… Challenge
Spend one full, ordinary yet magical day with a beloved character from anime or the movies. Use Qolaba as an AI anime generator and AI character tool to walk through Tokyo with Totoro, cook breakfast with Howl, or take a train across the countryside with No Face. Post the film, tag @qolaba, and enter the A Day With track of the Qolaba AI Film Challenge.
The kind of days people are making with Qolaba
A quick look at the kind of work this track produces. Once the challenge opens, real entries from other creators take these spots and update as new submissions come in.
So, what is the A Day With… Challenge?
One character. One ordinary day. That is the entire brief. Not a battle, not a plot twist, not a climax, just the small moments of a day spent alongside someone you already love from anime or the movies. A rainy afternoon in Tokyo with Totoro. An empty museum with Sherlock Holmes after hours. A market walk with Howl. A summer by the sea with Chihiro. Qolaba handles the character consistency, the environments, the lighting, and the pacing, so the whole day feels lived in and quiet, not staged.
Character consistency, shot to shot
Character references keep them looking like themselves across every scene. Totoro is the same Totoro in the rain in scene one and the bus stop in scene five.
Every environment, one atmosphere
The market, the museum, the train, the kitchen, all rendered in the same light. Days feel like days, not montages.
Quiet is a valid submission
The best entries in this track are not spectacle. They are small. A meal. A walk. A conversation that never happens.
Everyone remembers a scene where nothing happens and it stays with them for years. That is the whole idea here. Not a fight, not a chase, not a reveal, just a day. Filmmakers, animators, and anime fans use this track to make the scene they always wanted to see. If yours makes the jury quietly want to spend an hour there, that is the win.
You make it, you post it, you send us the link. Judges score it, the community votes on it, and the strongest work rises to the top. Each step below takes a couple of minutes.
