What studio-1939-old-animation-lora-minimax-h3 is

STUDIO 1939 A hand-painted, golden-age animation style LoRA for video generation. STUDIO 1939 is a style LoRA for MiniMax H3 that turns any text prompt into footage that looks like it was painted and inked by a 1930s animation studio — gouache backgrounds with visible brushwork, warm celluloid palettes, and classical character animation. It was trained on a carefully curated selection from a public-domain 1939 animated feature. The weights are available now in two strengths — light and strong — and run today on MiniMax H3 on fal. Two entire short films were written, generated, edited and scored with it in one night (see below). Gallery Two flavors Same prompt, same seed — only the LoRA rank changes. Character consistency, from text alone No character sheet, no reference images. Freeze a character description word-for-word and repeat it verbatim in every prompt — the same character comes back, scene after scene, world after world: Made with STUDIO 1939 - SIX BILLION YEARS — an 8-minute animated film about the entire history of the universe. 87 scenes; all 261 shots generated in 28 minutes. - THE SEVEN DOORS — a 5-minute adventure: a boy chases a storm-bird through seven worlds to get his kite back. All 108 shots generated in 21 minutes, the whole film made in under an hour. Both films: one frozen character description, exhaustively art-directed prompts (palette, camera, and an explicit list of what must not appear), voiceover passed through a 1930s optical-track effect, and a fully scripted edit (crossfades inside sequences, hard cuts between worlds). Recipe - Trigger: start the prompt with gulliv3r, - Prompt expansion: off — write the full art direction yourself - Works in 21:9, 16:9 and 4:3 - Scale: 1.0 for the full look; 0.4–0.8 to blend it under a modern art direction - Best results with exhaustive prompts: name every color, every element, and end with what must not appear Get the weights Both versions are available now and can already be used with several video models: Use them today on the standard MiniMax H3 LoRA endpoints on fal — minimax/h3/text-to-video/lora: The new massively accelerated endpoints (the ~20-seconds-per-shot workflow used for the films)

Open weights ship in several sizes and precisions. One page, all the variants — pick the one that fits your GPU. VRAM figures are estimates from model size.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys studio-1939-old-animation-lora-minimax-h3 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (studio-1939-old-animation-lora-minimax-h3 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/videos/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"studio-1939-old-animation-lora-minimax-h3","prompt":"a drone shot over a forest"}'
