These hybrid animals were generated with a model you can actually run LOCALLY... For transparency: this video is sponsored by @ltx_io but they gave me full creative freedom to create whatever I wanted, so here’s my HONEST opinion! For this piece, I created a bunch of fictional hybrid animals and tried to keep them consistent across different shots. A goose-turtle. A pig-fish. Creatures that obviously don’t exist. LTX 2.5 handled them surprisingly well, especially when I kept reinforcing in the prompt what the hybrid actually was. But what I find even more interesting is this: LTX can also run locally on your own machine. I tried it on my MacBook and yes, it works. It was slower, the machine got hot and loud, so for the actual production I still preferred working cloud-based. But the fact that I can generate something like THIS without necessarily relying on a remote data center is pretty crazy. And I think that is the bigger shift: AI filmmaking might not become fully local. But local is becoming a real production option. Cloud when you need speed. Local when privacy, freedom and cost matter more. That combination feels much more interesting to me than choosing only one. What about you? Have you tried LTX 2.5 yet? Or other local models? Whats your take? Let me know in the comments!! thanks Ben Chimoy for your help on this!!

OMG! @Kling_ai 4.0 is OUT TODAY !!!! I made this musicvideo with it! Here is everything you need to know … This post is sponsored by Kling AI but they allowed me to create whatever I wanted! I was one of the first few artists who got early access and used it to make this music video. What stood out to me most wasn’t just the image quality, but its ability for lipsyncing! For the lip sync, I used my preferred method: rendering the actual music track with a black frame and combining it with the stills I created. Same with prompt adherence. Shaky handheld camera actually felt shaky. The anamorphic lens look came through. And with Omni Reference, you can now work with up to 15 references across images, video, voice and elements. On launch you also get: •⁠ ⁠up to 10 keyframes •⁠ ⁠30s generations •⁠ ⁠1080p •⁠ ⁠multi-shot support •⁠ ⁠improved lip sync •⁠ ⁠improved text generation •⁠ ⁠much more flexible reference control Kling 4.0 feels less like “generate me a video” and more like “here are all the ingredients, now direct it.” oh, and its cheaper than seedance! And 4.0 Flash is A LOT faster too! Have you tried it? Let me know your thoughts! Thank you so much for helping me with this one Ben Chimoy!

How to come up with good ideas? Here is my process (maybe it helps you) … Having good ideas is easy! Selecting the good ones is hard! I have ideas constantly, 5–10 film ideas per day, I would say. But 99% of these ideas are super dumb, make no sense, don’t really touch me personally or are just impossible to make. But it’s super important to not immediately limit yourself when trying to come up with a good idea. I made a full YouTube video on this (link in the comments) where I go in depth and talk about how I came up with ideas for the contests I recently won. But the most important advice I can give is: Make it personal, make it yours! Claude and ChatGPT are not really helping, as they might come up with great ideas, but they are not yours, they are not personal and that’s why they feel generic. In all of my work, I put something from my experience, my life, into it and that’s what makes it special (at least for me). Because even if everyone hates my ideas or the scripts or the films that I create, it’s coming from me. And in a world where everyone just uses Claude to come up with ideas, a truly personal story beats all the crazy polished action scenes in the world. (Just my two cents) What about you? What’s your process? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Check out the YT video (link in the comments)

I made this video with A.I. with just one prompt in 2 Seconds without any effort for 1,75 USD on my microwave ... ...is what some people are telling you and its NOT true (if you care about what you create). Even though invideo Agent Two is REALLY powerful and helped me creating this sequel to my original "Dieter" film, its not the magical tool that can create exactly what you envisioned on its own! This video is sponsored by @invideoOfficial though, but i am allowed to create & write what I want so these are my honest thoughts! The thing is: I write my script first. Of course i brainstorm together with claude, Gemini and ChatGPT but the initial beats always come from me. I also always have my base prompt, my creative direction (how does Dieter look, whats the camera language, whats the lighting etc.) and then it all come together in the editing , that i ALWAYS do myself, as comedy is alot about timing and the right images at the right time. But everything in between, the brainstorming with the images, the development of the scenes, testing out different beats, all of that is possible with invideo agent two. It really helped me to be faster in iteration. Also its context is amazing, as it will always remember my base prompts, references etc. I made a YouTube Video about my full process (will link it in the first comment) and here are the hard facts: - made with invideo Agent two - Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2.5 - Base image edit with GPT2 - Edited in Resolve - Credits spend: roughly 300 USD (without the credits that i spent for testing) Have you tried agents ? Let me know your thoughts about it!!

I'm trying to win $50,000 with this ad for a product that doesn't exist! Here is my workflow + cost breakdown & the tools I used to create it … If you follow me, you know spec ads are my favorite genre in AI film. Because ads are films people typically don't like watching. They hate them! And honestly? Fair. Most of them aren't worth watching. That's exactly why I keep entering these contests because I believe advertising should be storytelling with heart & soul! With this entry, I'm competing together with Fabi Lindemeier in the @runwayml Another Big Ad Contest! I started by creating the base images with Sora. Sora is just the most realistic model when it comes to authentic character design! Then I upscaled these with GPT2 and made a collage with the characters, location, creative direction, lighting EVERYTHING locked in ONE single base image. Then I animated it with Kling Turbo. Why? Because Kling is so much better at fine human emotions than Seedance. Also, it's MUCH cheaper and SO MUCH faster. I've already seen so many great entries, and it's super cool that AI FILMMAKING keeps leveling up 🔥 Thanks, Runway, for hosting this amazing competition again! #runwaybigadcontest

Last week Physion Labs published an independent benchmark of AI video agents. Invideo wasn't in it. We requested them to include us. Results are out. invideo Agent One is #1. We are number #1 on 12 of the 16 individual metrics. Never falling below #2

Should this be the official national Ad for Germany?! I dont use Character Sheets and here is why (might surprise you)... For transparency: this video is sponsored by @invideoOfficial but they gave me full creative freedom to do whatever I want! I had this idea a loooong time ago. Just having fun with the models and invideo agent one ;D Most people use character sheets to lock in the character. But there is a HUGE downside of it! With a character sheet you are forced to use Multi Ref Mode in Seedance which is the worst of the different seedance modes. You can use seedance with 3 Modes: - Text -> Video - Start / Endframe -> Video - Multiref -> Video The best Mode is text2video, and the second best is if you ONLY use a start frame (no endframe) is img2video. Its significantly better in almost everything (Prompt Following, Fidelity, Quality etc.) Thats why I mostly use just one Baseimage where I try to put in everything I need for the generation (character, location, lighting, camera, props). From there I work with multishot Prompts. To streamline this process, I use Agent One + that base frame + my base prompt + my full voiceover script as context. From there it already understands lighting, wardrobe, location and style, so every new scene I describe stays consistent automatically. I know this sounds very complex but its not! Check out the FULL breakdown on my YouTube Channel. Do you use Character Sheets? Does it help you in your process? Thanks Ben Chimoy for helping me with this 🔥

EVERYONE is just using Seedance, but here are my SECRET TOP 5 AI tools that only a few know about… When I started a few years ago, I spent way too much money testing different tools because I wanted to understand what is good for which specific problem. And I found out: there is not one single magical tool that solves everything. (Even though Seedance is really good tbh) That’s why it’s important to have a good variety of tools in your AI toolbox. I really love every single tool I show in this video. But in the end, tools are going to stay tools. They can help us move faster and try out more ideas, but they don’t make the work matter by themselfs. What we need more than anything is soul in the work we make. A feeling, a point of view, something human that stays.

Nobody wants to buy an 8-year-old phone. So I gave mine a proper commercial .... My old Samsung Galaxy S9 was sitting in a drawer so I turned it into a full ad production. Here's what the process taught me about working with AI agents. This post is sponsored by @invideoOfficial . I built the entire spot with AgentOne, and they're supporting this behind-the-scenes look. First, the uncomfortable truth: AI agents are nowhere near as "one-click" as the hype suggests. They handle the technical execution but the creative thinking is still your job. The agent is the crew. You're the director. My workflow, with the lessons behind each step: 1. Shoot real photos first. Real product shots ground the AI in reality. Consistency across shots gets so much easier when the model has an actual reference instead of imagining your product from scratch. 2. Brief the agent like you'd brief a human. Product, target audience, tone, look I gave AgentOne the full context upfront. The quality of the output is a direct reflection of the quality of your briefing. 3. Iterate on images before touching video. Images are cheap and fast to regenerate. Lock your visual direction here fixing it later in the video stage costs way more time. 4. Only then: motion. Once the stills worked, I turned them into video with the agent. Approved images as a foundation = far fewer wasted generations. 5. Sound and motion graphics matter. I built the soundbed and motion graphics inside AgentOne too. Audio is what makes an AI spot feel like an actual commercial instead of a demo. I recorded a full screen-share breakdown on YouTube including the exact prompts I used with AgentOne, so you can steal the workflow: 👉 lnkd.in/gVciwB63 Big thanks to Ben Chimoy for helping me pull this off!

Lipsyncing music videos with A.I. is EASY! Here's how you can do it too! For transparency: This video is sponsored by @invideoOfficial but they gave me full creative freedom to do whatever I want! Its super simple and the result is really mindblowing! Just load the song + a startframe into agent one and use this prompt: Here's the main prompt behind lipsyncing "Modernland" with invideo Agent One: "I want you to Lipsync this Musicideo for me! Here is my full length musicideo. CHop this in 15 seconds parts (as seedance cant generate more than that) and make sure its EXACTLY 15 seconds not longer. Then we will have chunks of 15 seconds video with black screen. then i want you to take the startframe that i gave you here as 1 reference and one chunk of the musicvideo that you just created as 2 reference. then use Seedance 2 Fast in 16:9 in 720p with this prompt "Use the driving video with the music to synch the singer in the starting frame. Hand held camera, keep the focus on the singer. Hand held camera" to lipsync this. Use this technique for the whole video" Check Out my YouTube Channel (simonmeyer_director) !

This is my Cheatcode for writing my prompts! And you can use it too! here is how... Prompting should feel creative. But honestly, most of the time it still feels like a mess: Tiny prompt boxes. Broken formatting. Copy-paste chaos. Platforms that all work slightly differently. That’s why I’m super excited that we at PROMPTR just launched CRAFTR 2.0. CRAFTR 2.0 is a Browser Plugin made from AI filmmakers for AI filmmakers. No marketing blah blah blah (ok, it is still a gamechanger). Just a tool for people who actually use these platforms every day.

Here is a simple trick I use very often in my videos to create photorealistic characters: I create them using the good old text-to-video technique. I work without any start frame in Sora 2 (not Pro) and tell it to randomly create some characters (I guide it a little bit with age, etc.). Then I generate a 20-second video with multiple characters and pick the ones I like. If necessary, I tweak them a bit in Nano Banana and upscale. Then I use these characters in Kling to create the videos. I think you can still tell the characters are AI, but I'm REALLY looking forward to Veo 4 — I hope they'll fix this audio issue. I would love to hear your take on this! Regarding logos AND AI voices. Save this video for later!

But first: If you're an AI filmmaker, I would love to connect! Follow me, comment, and DM me if you like 🙂 I made this film because I was amazed by the new logo that just popped up on my screen today. I saw it in between all the other app icons on my phone and thought: Why do all of these icons look the same? Logos in general are starting to look kind of similar... I wish every brand had a really unique logo tbh. But well, that's another discussion!
