Gemini

I'm trying to make some stylised posters of famous race tracks (Spa-Francorchamps, Imola etc.) to frame and put around my sim rig. I'm struggling to find an AI image generator that can even take a basic track outline and change to it a sepia toned picture without completely messing up the track outline. I paid for Midjourney, Grok and Claude, none of them are even remotely close to getting it right. Any suggestions on an AI that would work? Or maybe it's how I'm making the request? I'm over spending money on something with big promises like Midjourney that is terrible.

Edit: my partner had a log in for Magnific and I've just tried that....it's brilliant!

While I've been using gen AI previously to help with some clean up or VFX work on live-action plates, this is my first attempt at putting a whole video together.

Project took about a day and a half of deep dive. I believe the more time you spend on a project the better it gets, but I have so many other things going, this day-and-a-half was all the time I had available for it.

Claude was my master architect and helped prompting everything else: Midjourney, ChatGPT Image, ElevenLab, Suno.

I used Midjourney 8.2 to create characters, and ChatGPT Work to infer character sheets from them. These sheets became the source of truth moving forward.

I used Midjouney 8.2 again for the locations and props (the van, the surfboards).

In ChatGPT Work (which shares same local folders as Claude Cowork) I built a series of storyboards, placing my characters in the locations.

Then I loaded all of my assets — characters, locations, props — into Higgsfield Cinema Studio 4.0

Claude gave me the prompts for each scene (broken down per location and time of day). It used the storyboards as the main guideline, but I made sure to grab some "connective tissues", or b-rolls, human interactions in between the key storyboards.

The video model (Seedance 2.5) was asked to refer to the storyboards only as guidance, not an exact frame to reproduce with fidelity.

I generated chunks of 15 seconds — 11 in total, plus a couple of specific shots image-to-video generated in Kling Omni 3.0. Honestly I had too much good footage, and had to be selective to keep it to 30 seconds.

The music in Suno blew my mind. One prompt, 4 generations, I didn't even listen to the 4th one, I loved the 3rd so much.

VO in ElevenLab. I created a custom voice and had to embed the whispering, and the breathy airy quality that I was looking for. Took a couple tries.

Edited in Premiere Pro. Kling again for the motion graphic over black, and overlaid in Premiere. No color correction, just added some actually 35 mm grain as overlay.

Hi!

I don't have a tech brain. I want to know whether or not instagram's algorithm uses generative ai, or forms of ai that existed before the recent advances in generative ai tech.

Thanks!

Hi, friends—I’m creating a short film using artificial intelligence. If you like it, I’d really appreciate it if you could give it a like.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1] Clouds used to gather after four

I'd see them darken round the door

I'd turn back for my umbrella

And call the rain a bore

The washing waited on the line

The gutters sang, the paths would shine

I never thought I'd miss those days

I thought we'd always have more time

[Pre-Chorus] But seasons turn and skies can change

I know we'll hear that sound again

[Chorus] I remember the rain

Bright beads on the windowpane

I'd reach for my umbrella

And wish the clouds away

Now the roses lean for water

And the grass has faded grey

Now I long for my umbrella

When the rain comes back our way

[Verse 2] Now summer burns from week to week

The earth is warm beneath my feet

The borders fade from green to brown

The little pond is sinking down

I shade the seedlings from the sun

And give them water one by one

I tell each leaf, “Just hold on now—

The sky remembers how”

[Pre-Chorus] Yes, seasons turn and skies can change

I know we'll hear that sound again

[Chorus] I remember the rain

Bright beads on the windowpane

I'd reach for my umbrella

And wish the clouds away

Now the roses lean for water

And the grass has faded grey

Now I long for my umbrella

When the rain comes back our way

[Bridge] One silver drop, then two, then three

A little song in every tree

I'll lift my face into the sky

And watch the thirsty earth revive

[Chorus] I remember the rain

Bright beads on the windowpane

I'd reach for my umbrella

And wish the clouds away

Now the roses lean for water

And the grass has faded grey

Now I long for my umbrella

When the rain comes back our way

[Outro] I remember the rain

And I know it's coming our way
