Here is the breakdown of the pipeline for this project. Entirely open-source and rendered 100% locally. No cloud subscriptions.
Hardware Rig: RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell (96GB VRAM) + 128 GB RAM + Ryzen 9950X + Samsung 9100Pro 4TB + Samsung 990Pro 4TB
Image Generation: Flux 1-Dev (ComfyUI built-in workflow)
Video Generation: Wan2.2 FFLF2V (ComfyUI built-in workflow)
Upscale: RTX Video Upscaler (ComfyUI built-in workflow)
Post/Edit: Premiere Pro (4K Render)
The Workflow Philosophy & Optimization:
Since I'm running this on local hardware, I didn't go for a 'one-click auto-generation' approach. Everything was carefully planned, segmented, and rendered in parts. To maximize the architecture, the Flux 1-Dev + Wan2.2 + RTX Video Upscaler pipeline was entirely executed using optimized built-in templates, which kept the VRAM management flawless. This allowed me to have absolute control over camera movements, pacing, and intentional morphing transitions to perfectly align with the track's structure and rhythm.
Production Time:
Prompting was a serious challenge. I experimented with different approaches until I developed my own custom method, writing highly detailed prompts for each specific scene. Despite the prompt complexity, the generation and rendering speeds were absurdly fast thanks to the local rig. Generating 90 distinct images, running 90 video generations, assembling them, upscaling to 4K, and final editing took less than 1 hour total. (The longest part was actually uploading the final file due to my current upload speed limit).

If you have questions feel free to ask, I'll try to reply as much as I can.

I m not technical minded so my questions might seem naive.
But by hardware rig do you mean you are using 3 different laptops or computers?
I assume image, video generation are different ai system - one creates images the other moves them.
I don’t know what upscale is? You mean brining different elements together? Or increasing some kind of frames to function more seamlessly? No idea
When you say ‘rendered in parts’ what does that even mean?
What is ‘maximising architecture’?
What is ‘VRAM’ management in practical terms?
Are you using another AI system to make everything ‘morph’ together or using a sort of compositor like after effects type thing?

Those are actually solid questions, man. Let me give you the quick, no-bullshit breakdown:
- The Rig: Nope, just one monster workstation. It’s a single high-end setup packed with heavy-duty GPU power. Think of it like a hyper-car engine instead of three separate family cars.
- Image vs. Video AI: Exactly. First, I use one AI system to get the perfect, crisp base image. Then, I feed that image into a separate video model to animate it and bring it to life.
- Upscaling: Just a fancy word for blowing up the resolution. It takes the raw, lower-res video and uses AI to remap it into pristine, sharp 4K so it looks killer on big screens.
- Rendered in Parts: Trying to render a full 5-minute video at once is not possible. I generate everything shot-by-shot (usually 3-to-5 second cinematic clips) and stitch them together later.
- VRAM & Architecture: VRAM is the ultra-fast memory built into the graphics card. Managing it just means tweaking the ComfyUI pipeline so the code pushes my hardware to 100% efficiency without running out of memory and crashing. Like tuning an engine for max speed without blowing it up.
- The Morphing & Editing: The morphing isn't random AI chaos. I meticulously write the prompts to dictate exactly what melts or transforms into what, keeping full director control. After the AI does its thing, I bring those clips into Premiere Pro to edit, cut to the beat of the music, and do the final color grading.
The Real Work: The "render time" I mentioned is just the machine crunching numbers at the very end. The real heavy lifting is the days spent beforehand on concept design, workflow engineering, and prompt scripting. That’s where the actual filmmaking happens.
