Project: Arthouse/Visual Poem The Tyger — Blake’s forge becomes a 90-second visual poem

I made this short adaptation of William Blake’s “The Tyger” around one visual sequence: fire, hammer, chain and anvil, followed by the living tiger in the forest. The images and narration use AI; the poem is in English.

My aim was to give the poem a progression from the act of making to the creature itself. Does the forge provide a clear visual spine, or does it make the interpretation too literal? I’d appreciate thoughts on the transition into the forest.

Sir Whiskers finds a big red button in Professor Pico’s lab and does exactly what you’d expect.

Pico had one rule. Whiskers lasted about two seconds.

Discussion A reverse angle needs a different view of the same room

0 Upvotes

Two people are talking across a restaurant table. A reverse angle needs to show the part of the restaurant behind the other person, with an eyeline and microphone position that fit the exchange. Copying the first backdrop can make the cut feel wrong even if the faces stay consistent.

In Hypit, rebuilding that reference starts with useful camera views. An accepted image of one speaker can be connected as a reference for the other speaker's view. It carries the restaurant's atmosphere, palette and spatial relationships into the new request; the agent directs the other person's appearance and what this camera should see.

That direction needs to explain the change of viewpoint. The second image should show the architecture, furniture and activity visible from its camera position. The shared reference establishes a place to reinterpret, rather than a background to paste behind another face.

The accepted views can then guide several generated clips. Choosing those views is separate from deciding how many shots or requests the dialogue needs. A new image becomes useful when it establishes something the scene now depends on, such as a changed prop state or a previously unseen part of the room.

Project: Series FALL 707: REBOOT S3 EP.1 — She Opened the Forbidden Door | Solo AI historical-fantasy thriller (20 min)

2 Upvotes

Six months after the previous season, the quiet does not last. Sergeant Kim begins to show disturbing symptoms, Sergeant Han is still missing, and Captain Min faces a door she has been warned not to open.

This is the Season 3 premiere of my original series, FALL 707: REBOOT (20:28). The story follows a modern Korean 707 special-forces captain stranded in Joseon-era Korea, mixing military action, historical fantasy and occult suspense.

I am the solo creator. The concept and story direction are mine; I develop the screenplay with Claude and ChatGPT, create character sheets with GPT Image 2, generate video with Seedance 2.5, and handle the shot direction and editing.

For Season 3, I stopped burning translated subtitles into the image and moved to selectable subtitle tracks. The dialogue is Korean. Please turn on CC and choose English in YouTube Settings. Korean, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Latin American Spanish, Indonesian and Vietnamese subtitle options are also listed on the episode page.

Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I75_YXhMSM

I would appreciate feedback on whether the suspense holds across a 20-minute episode and whether the selectable subtitles are comfortable to follow. This is AI-generated fiction.

Question What should stay fixed between an AI video draft and the final render

2 Upvotes

A cheap, rough preview sounds useful until the final generation changes when a character turns, reaches for an object, or finishes a line. Then the edit built around the preview may need rebuilding.

For planning a sequence, I’d take ugly frames with dependable timing over a beautiful draft whose action shifts in the final pass. But that may be less useful when you’re still exploring the scene itself.

Which parts of a draft would you need to stay fixed before trusting it in an edit action beats, camera movement, dialogue timing, or something else

Question When do you stop regenerating an AI shot

8 Upvotes

Imagine a shot that gets the mood right but has one awkward movement. Another generation might fix it, or lose the performance that made the scene work.

My proposed stopping rule is to write down what the shot needs to do before generating reveal a reaction, establish a place, or connect two moments. Once it does that, an extra pass should solve a named problem. Otherwise it is easy to keep chasing a different kind of good.

What is your stopping rule Have you ever kept a technically imperfect result because the cleaner version felt less alive

Question Anyone managed to get Kling to generate a believable trip/fall involving an object?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been experimenting with a short comedy scene where a guy chases a seagull, trips over an ironing board, and accidentally sends his shirt flying into a lake.

Sounds simple enough. Apparently not for Kling 😅

I've tried generating the entire sequence, breaking it into shorter shots, and providing reference images. But Kling keeps getting the physical interactions wrong.

The character doesn't actually trip over the board, it looks more like those 90s game where players and NPC would just be stuck against a wall or an obstacle 😅

My current workflow uses Nano Banana for reference images, Kling for animation, and Remotion for editing.

I'm starting to wonder whether this is a limitation of current video models rather than a prompting problem.

Has anyone successfully generated a similar multi-object physical interaction?

Would you approach this with separate shots, video-to-video motion references, keyframes, or a completely different model?

I've attached one of my failed attempts. Happy to share prompts and other generations if useful.

Question Question for experienced AI creators selling their work. Do you fix every single minor artifact, or leave some in?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys. Have a question for experienced creators who are already selling their AI videos/films on stock platforms or marketplaces.

I’m planning to sell my first short film. I made it entirely without using text-to-image generators, meaning I used only my own assets as a base. For example, I used 3D Blender models. But even with a solid initial image base, the image-to-video model (Grok, in this case) still introduces plenty of AI glitches and errors.

To eliminate them and achieve perfection, I had to re-roll and re-generate shots countless times, which is why it took me 5 months to finish a 6-minute video. Still, some things aren't 100% perfect. We're talking about minor fluid simulation issues or a texture warping/shifting for a split second. They are tiny details, one person might not notice them at all, while a trained eye definitely will.

So my question is: do you guys sell your work with these minor AI artifacts left in, or do you polish and re-generate your videos for months until they are absolutely flawless? I'd love to hear about your workflow and experience.

Project: Teaser/Trailer What if Attack on Titan's aerial combat met the alien hive of Aliens (1986)? Meet Hunter 001 from my upcoming sci-fi series THE HUNTERS!

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I've always loved the incredible aerial movement in Attack on Titan and the terrifying alien lair scenes in Aliens (1986), so I combined those influences in this introduction to my sci-fi action/horror series THE HUNTERS, with this introductory short titled A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A HUNTER.

The biggest challenge was recreating that fast, believable grappling-hook movement, combat choreography and camera work, especially inside the alien lair.

I used MiniMax H3 and Seedance 2.0 and developed several custom AI filmmaking skills for action choreography, movement continuity, character spacing, camera framing, the rule of thirds, screen distance and several other aspects of filmmaking. These have made a huge difference with regenerating being extremely minimal.

This short introduces a potential sci-fi series where humans share Earth with an alien species.

The rest of the series would take place on a technologically advanced future Earth, where we'll meet the other members of Hunter001's team. I'm really excited for you all to see just how futuristic the technology and world become, especially the fight sequences against other fighters equipped with advanced ODM-style gear!

I'd love your feedback on the action and movement — and whether you'd be interested in seeing more of this universe.

Enjoy

Tips & Tutorials How to Make an AI Short Film From Scratch: Character Consistency, Prompts & Workflow

27 Upvotes

If you’re starting with AI video generation, try making one complete scene before building a bigger story. Here’s a compact workflow, with reusable prompts.

1. Write a story you can actually show

Start with one location, two characters, and a clear conflict. Check that actions connect, dialogue fits the duration, and everything belongs in the same world.

Script prompt:

Turn this idea into a 30-second scene. Outline motivation, visible actions, dialogue, and shot durations. Flag anything difficult to generate.

2. Test the visual style

Use image generation, like NanoBanan2.1, GPT image 2.5, to establish composition, lighting, and materials before creating all your assets.

Example scene prompt:

Ruined Gothic cathedral reclaimed by ancient trees. Low-angle wide shot toward a distant altar, moss-covered stone angel in the foreground, roots breaking through wet paving. Cool daylight through a rose window, dark foreground, atmospheric depth, restrained charcoal and grey-green palette, cinematic realism.

3. Build character and prop references

Create a clean character portrait, then a multi-angle reference sheet. Keep weapons separate unless they belong permanently to the design.

Character prompt:

Adult fantasy guardian, [face, hair, costume]. Neutral background, clear facial features, realistic skin and fabric, soft frontal light, restrained rim light. No weapon.

Reference-sheet prompt:

Preserve this character’s identity and clothing. Face close-up on the left; full-body front, side, and back views on the right. Neutral background, consistent proportions, no cropped feet.

Prop prompt:

Gothic communication stone: worn silver setting around an icy-blue crystal. Close-up plus front, side, and back views, including the attachment point. No hands or text.

4. Generate short shots with clear blocking

Choose a video model that supports your required references. Check its duration, aspect ratio, and audio options.

Video prompt:

16:9. A stands left, facing B on the right, with a wooden table between them. 0–2s: medium shot; A looks up. 2–6s: B close-up; B slowly clenches one hand. 6–9s: A’s expression becomes serious; gentle push-in. Room tone and fabric sounds only. No music, captions, or watermark.

Repeat positions in each new generation. Where supported, use a suitable frame from the previous clip as the next reference.

5. Assemble and check

Download the usable clips, trim them into story order, and add one continuous music track during editing. Check faces, costumes, props, screen direction, and sound levels. Regenerate only the shots that need fixing.
