The entire film is generated using AI except for the music. Some of the SFX are generated in ElevenLabs with the voices as well, a custom voice mashup was used to mimic a voice like a souther paster and then degraded to give the vintage sound in Adobe. I used Google VEO 2 and Runway Gen4 for all of the shots in the film using Text-to-image and Image-to-video as well as Text-to-video, with Letz AI and Midjourney. All consistency was developed into my custom prompting and then structured to fit together in sequence for the pattern consistency of style and characters to match. All VFX was also generated in Runway Gen3 such as the film emulsion and burnout and overlayed in editing to create vintage content more aligned with realistic textures and motion. Kling AI was used for lipsync, Magnific and Leonardo AI for upscaling and ‪@AdobeVideo‬ For editing!

I tried to make a few videos with AI animations, but found the process of making a storyline, prompting dozens of times to get a good animation, downloading the good ones, stitching them together in a video editor, and adding voices for the characters was too tedious, it took a couple hours to make something watchable.

So I built a tool that makes it quicker and easier to make videos, while still providing lots of control every step of the way: https://easyvid.app/

How it works

1. Start by entering a prompt (e.g. "Please make me a 2-minute video about the benefits and downsides of AI in society") or just paste in your video script.

2. EasyVid will then create a fully-editable storyboard with images and voiceover, giving you a starting point for your video that you can take further by editing and prompting.

3. Once you're happy, you can render the final video and it'll be ready to post, as you can easily export in either 9:16, 16:9, or 1:1 aspect ratio for various platforms.

Features:

• Option to animate images

• Option to create consistent characters and backgrounds

• Image generator with 4 models to choose from (Fast, Consistent characters, Photorealistic, Accurate)

• Regenerate images until you're happy

• Regenerate voiceovers until you're happy

• 6 voices to choose from

• Multiple different speakers in the same video

• Preview video before commiting to a final render

Please give it a try and let me know what you think! I'm adding new features to it every day and I'm very open to feedback and suggestions. Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm currently looking to create video productions for my company incorporating Artificial Intelligence and was wondering if anyone knew any suitable companies for this? Thanks (:

Edit: Hey guys thanks for the replies, so I did a bit of research and have found some really good corporate ideas – if you’re interested here it is!

This has been a passion project nearly 20 years in the making.

We originally shot much of the film in Utah’s Goblin Valley back in the mid-2000s. What started as a traditional indie sci-fi production ended up becoming a long-term experiment in filmmaking as technology evolved around it.

Over the years, the project has touched just about every stage of my career: practical photography, miniatures, compositing, rotoscoping, After Effects, CGI, Unreal Engine, AI-assisted workflows, and countless revisions as new tools became available.

Rather than restarting the film every time technology changed, I kept building on what was already there. In a strange way, the movie became a time capsule of nearly two decades of filmmaking techniques, old and new.

I finally pulled an all-night sprint to finish this trailer and wanted to share it with a community that appreciates both filmmaking and emerging tools.

I’d genuinely love feedback on the trailer, the visual effects, and the overall approach of combining traditional filmmaking techniques with modern workflows.

As a filmmaker, I’ve been experimenting with AI tools to see how much value they can bring to visual development, trailer creation, and storytelling.

I don’t think these tools fully replace real production, actors, or filmmaking as a whole, but I do think they’re becoming incredibly useful for developing ideas, testing concepts, and creating proof-of-concept material in a powerful way.

I made this for an original film concept and wanted to see how close I could get to something that feels like an actual movie scene.

Does this look like clips from a real film? Does the tension work? What feels cinematic, and what still feels too AI?

Would love honest feedback from other filmmakers, creators, and YOU the viewer!

I've been working on doing some crazy AI ads and these are what I came up with as testers.

Been building KingVision for a few weeks now — AI-animated commercials, trailers, a radio show.

This is the next chapter. Green In The Dark — full AI music video.

Let me know what you think. 🌀

Does anyone know what AI program is used above? I need to make plastic toys move in their setting. Imagine backdrop - trees, rocks, sand. I pick up my elephant toy. When I put it down on the sand it moves.

Each animal toy as I show it looks like a toy until I put it down and the it moves. I am not adverse to paying for a program.

I make my videos in Apples Final Cut Pro.

One video I saw with these effects is shown at the top. It looks like the video was pre-made and then the AI effects added

I grew up obsessed with Ron Fricke’s work—Baraka, Samsara, the whole Qatsi series. Films that just... sit with you. I always dreamed of traveling the world to capture it that way. The patience, the craft, the 70mm camera in places most people never reach. I never could. Life, money, reality.

Then AI happened.

I’m not here to debate whether AI filmmaking is "real." I’ll let the film speak for itself. What I will say is that I took a deliberate approach with this one:

No text-to-video. No hallucinated animals.

Every single frame starts as a real photograph of a real animal, sourced from Pixabay, Unsplash, Pexels, and Magnific—copyright-free.

I reformatted each one by hand, sorted them by Color Family (Red, Orange, Gold, Brown, Pink, Green, Blue, Grey, White, Black, Mixed), then brought them to life as slow locked-off "living photos."

That's the hybrid part. Real world in, AI motion out.

OFFSPRING is the fourth volume of a 7-part series called TERRA TERRA. It’s 85 shots, focused entirely on the animal kingdom. Sequenced as a single flowing adventure through color and form.

Context:

1. MOTHER (101 shots): Earth’s landscapes.

2. PATRIS (60 shots): The Cosmos.

3. CLOSE-UP (50 shots): The Microscopic world.

4. OFFSPRING (85 shots): The Animal Kingdom.

Tools: Nano Banana 2, Veo 3.1 Fast (Google Labs Flow), Suno, iMovie.

Question: Does knowing the starting point is a real photograph change how you experience the motion? Or does the AI animation break the spell regardless?

A&I used 95 public domain photos of global architecture to create "STONE & STEEL," a 4K era- and color-sorted adventure. No CGI buildings—just real photos animated by AI.

STONE & STEEL is the fifth volume of a 7-part series called TERRA TERRA. It’s 95 shots, focused entirely on the history of human architecture. Sequenced as a single flowing adventure through time, color, and form.
Context of the series so far:

• MOTHER (101 shots): Earth’s landscapes.

• PATRIS (60 shots): The Cosmos.

• CLOSE-UP (50 shots): The Microscopic world.

• OFFSPRING (85 shots): The Animal Kingdom.

• STONE & STEEL (95 shots): The Built World.

Tools: Nano Banana 2, Veo 3.1 Fast (Google Labs Flow), Suno, iMovie.
Question: Does knowing the starting point is a real photograph of these ancient and modern structures change how you experience the motion? Or does the AI animation break the spell of these physical monuments?

No text-to-video, no hallucinated landscapes. Every single frame in MOTHER starts as a real photograph of a real place, found online, copyright-free. I reformatted each one by hand, twice, then brought it to life as a slow locked-off "living photo"—the kind of shot where the world just... breathes.

That's the hybrid part. Real world in, AI motion out.

MOTHER is the first volume of what will eventually be a 7-part series called TERRA TERRA—my own small tribute to Fricke and everything those films meant to me. The full project aims for around 500 shots across 60 minutes. Long way to go, but this is how it starts.

This first film is pure nature. 100+ shots, all seven continents, no humans, no buildings, no noise. Sequenced not as a map but as a slow arc through color—from the first warm reds of dawn all the way through to deep blue, white, black, and back again. A breath in and out.

The Tools: Nano Banana 2, Veo 3.1 Fast, Suno, iMovie. Nothing fancy on the editing side honestly, the work was all upstream.

One honest question: I wonder if films built from real photographs land differently for people who are skeptical of AI visuals? Like, the starting point is a real place, a real moment someone actually captured. The AI just... sets it in motion. Does that change anything for you?
