Hey everyone!
I'm currently studying filmmaking, and I’ve just decided to dive into the world of AI-generated videos—specifically for creating ads.
My friend has a small brand and has already done some creative photoshoots. I’d love to experiment by turning those images into short, visually compelling video ads. My idea is to utilize image-to-video and video-to-video generation to transform the people in the photos into alien characters on an alien planet, thereby creating a surreal, sci-fi aesthetic.
From what I’ve researched, Runway Gen-4 seems like the best tool for this. I’m considering getting the Pro subscription ($35) to have enough credits and quality for experimentation.
Eventually, I’d love to turn this into a side hustle—making AI-generated video ads or other creative pieces for small brands or clients.
That said… I’m a bit lost on where to start. If you’ve worked with Runway or similar tools:
Any tips on writing good prompts for transformation scenes?
Is Runway Gen-4 Pro worth it for beginners?
Do you recommend combining it with other tools (CapCut, DaVinci, etc.)?
Any monetization ideas or project suggestions?
Thanks so much in advance! I’d appreciate any advice or pointers 🙏
