🔥 Why AI Commercials Shouldn't Be Just Prompts and Prayers 🎬 Remember when GPS made everyone forget how to read a map? That's what's happening with AI video production right now. While everyone's racing to try #VEO 2's 4K text-to-video or waiting for #Sora's image-to-video to stabilize, we're taking a different approach at Animatic Media. We recently created a spec commercial for "Secure Vault" - a concept brand we developed to showcase what's possible when you combine strategic creativity with AI innovation. Here's our process: ✅ Developed the brand concept and wrote an original script ✅ Created detailed storyboards to map out each scene ✅ Used Runway's video2video feature to nail the precise Haka dance movements ✅ Deployed Kling 1.6 for specific character performances ✅ Enhanced facial likeness using Face Fusion for more consistent characters ✅ Crafted the soundscape using Suno/ElevenLabs but combioned with traditonal music library ✅ Brought it all together with professional editing The result isn't just another AI demo - it's a compelling story that could only emerge from deep creative thinking and strategic tool selection. Each scene was carefully crafted using the right tool for the right moment, rather than relying on a single solution. When your client asks for a miracle, you need more than just prompts and prayers. You need a deep understanding of both storytelling and technology. Can you spot which scenes used which AI tools? 👇 #Kling 1.6 #RunwayML #Rendermind AI #11Elevenlabs #Magnific #Topaz AI video #Krea #Ideogram #Openai #aivideo #aiproduction #Aiadvertising #genai #aicommercial

From Snooze to Spectacular: Boardomatic's Magic with Kling + Elevenlabs ✨ When your client says, "we have no money for animatics" Time to put Kling 1.6 through its paces. Well, here's how we turned a static storyboard into pure motion magic using Kling 1.6 (because apparently, we didn't have enough AI tools in our lives): PROCESS: 01. Upload storyboard in Kling 1.6 02. Write text prompt (video + audio) 03. Generate + Iterate (Sometimes the best stuff happens on try #7) KLING PROMPT - VIDEO: A fisherman in a bright yellow rain suit pulls a heavy net full of glistening fish onto the deck of a weathered fishing trawler. The handheld camera sways dramatically with the ship's motion, rising and falling with the waves, capturing the chaotic energy of the rough sea. Ocean spray glistens in the air as waves crash against the hull, while the stormy sky looms overhead. Intense, gritty atmosphere, with a sense of hard labor and survival amidst nature's raw power. ELEVENLABS PROMPT - AUDIO: On a weathered trawler, waves crash against the hull as ocean spray fills the air. A fisherman in rain suit heaves a heavy net of writhing fish onto the deck. The handheld camera sways with the ship's motion, capturing the chaos of the stormy sea. Wind howls, wood creaks, and fish slap against the deck, blending with the distant rumble of thunder in this gritty, intense scene. REAL TALK: ✅ Kling 1.6 kept the illustration style consistent (unlike your client's feedback) ✅ Illustration style drifts towards the end (like your creative brief) ✅ Tried MiniMax - let's just say it went fishing and came back empty-handed ✅ Fastest way to bring static images to life (faster than waiting for client approval) ✅ The real magic? Add VFX in After Effects (because we can't let AI have ALL the fun) ✅ Prompts are longer than your creative brief (but actually make sense) ✅ Happy accidents happen (like our fisherman actually dragging the net - looking at you, happy little trees) THE VERDICT: We use this in our process (not always, because we're not robots... yet). Tested against Sora + MiniMax - Kling 1.6 wins by a nautical mile. Haven't tested Veo2 ( but doesnt accepts for image2video from platforms outside Google- bummer) For the creatives who've made it this far: Yes, this actually works. No, it won't steal your job. Yes, it will make your boardomatics look better than your competitor's. #midjourney #minimax #runwayml #kling #ai #innovation #Elevenlabs

Hey everyone, just wanted to say thanks for all the well-wishes during Hurricane Milton—it meant a lot.. We’re all good here—had to get creative and use a little Florida ingenuity and battle tornados with my trusty leaf blower 💨😅 All jokes aside, my heart goes out to everyone who felt the impact of this storm. We got lucky, but a lot of folks are still picking up the pieces. Stay safe and keep pushing forward. We’ve got this. #HurricaneMilton #Tornado #Grateful #florida2024 #milton #hurricane #weatherevent #aivideo
