    TL;DR: We use SDS from text-to-video models to animate vector-graphics sketches! Please check our project page for more details, and more penguins: livesketch.github.io

    I knew Tamar. She was an angel, a leader. Tamar and her family were brutally murdered by terrorists in their own home, simply because they were Jewish. This cruelty is unbearable, inhumane. The current situation in Israel is unprecedented. We will never forget you, Tamar.

    An entire family murdered in cold blood. Kedem family: Father Jonathan, mother Tamar, 6-year-old girls Shachar and Arbel, and 4-year-old boy Omer. All of them murdered by Palestinian terrorists at Nir-oz kibbutz. Just because they’re Jews.
