Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly used in the creation of art, and the realm of filmmaking is no exception. AI can generate scripts, create visuals, and even compose music. It can take hours to put all these components together manually. But what if I told you that you could create a short AI-generated film in just 10 minutes?
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this, without spending a dime.
Step by step ai-generated short films
Step 1: Generate the Idea, Script, and Prompts
To get started, we'll be using ChatGPT, an AI model developed by OpenAI. Ask ChatGPT to generate an idea for a short film, the script, and the prompts for each scene. Be specific with your instructions – tell it to split the scenes into 5-second increments and aim for 10 scenes in total.
Step 2: Create the Visuals
Once you have your prompts, head over to GEN-2 Runway, a tool designed to generate AI visuals. Paste each of the prompts generated by ChatGPT into GEN-2 Runway and let it work its magic. Review each of the generated visuals and discard any that don't fit your vision. GEN-2 offers 70 seconds of free generation, which should be plenty for our 50-second short film.
Step 3: Produce the Audio
Now that you have your visuals sorted, it's time to create the audio. Head back to ChatGPT and ask it to generate a short audio script for your generated scenes. The audio script should ideally be around 50 seconds long to align with the total duration of your visuals.
Once you have your script, plug it into Elevenlabs. This tool converts the text into audio, providing you with the narration for your short film.
Step 4: Assemble the Film
Finally, bring all your components together. Use a tool like Canva to assemble the frames in the order of generation.
Et Voilà! You've just made your short film using AI, all in under 10 minutes and at no cost.
Don't just take my word for it, I've followed these exact steps and created an AI-generated short film. You can check out the final product on my YouTube Channel. Read the comments for further insights and experiences from other budding AI filmmakers.
Remember, this is just the beginning. As AI continues to evolve, so will the possibilities for AI-generated art and film. So why not start your AI filmmaking journey today? Happy filmmaking!
