🎬 Diving Headfirst into AI Video Generators 🌊
Feeling lost in the sea of AI video generators? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there! We explored a brand new one called Vivago AI (https://vivago.doai/). It’s free and has some cool features, like the “Magic Brush” for adding motion to specific parts of your image.
💡 Pro Tip: Vivago is still new, so don’t expect perfection. Runway Gen 3 (https://runwayml.com/) is still the reigning champ for high-quality, consistent video generation, especially with its turbo mode.
👵 Grandma, the Motorcycle Maverick, and the Jovial Lemon Man 🏍️🍋
We put these generators to the test with some wacky prompts!
- First, we conjured up an image of a grandma rocking a badass motorcycle in Idiogram (https://idiogram.ai/), then brought it to life with Vivago’s motion brush. The result? Grandma hitting the open road, wind in her hair!
- Next, we used a photo of yours truly and turned it into a video using Vivago’s Magic Brush. With a few swipes, we had me morphing into a jovial lemon man, complete with a ridiculously infectious smile.
💡 Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to experiment and combine different AI tools! You never know what kind of crazy masterpieces you’ll create.
🦹 The Rise of Lemon Man: An AI Anime Adventure 💥
Remember that lemon man? We decided to give him a backstory…and turn him into an anime villain!
- Using Runway Gen 3, we animated our lemon man laughing maniacally, revealing his true colors.
- Then, we headed over to 11 Labs (https://beta.elevenlabs.io/) to give him a voice – my voice, to be exact, but with a sinister Japanese dub.
- Finally, we whipped up some epic, ominous piano music using udio (https://studio.audio.com/) to set the scene.
💡 Pro Tip: Creating a compelling story doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, experimentation, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected, especially when working with AI.
🎤 Sound Experiments: From Epic Beats to Squirmy Sounds 🎧
Next up, we explored the wonderful world of AI sound generation with udio.
- We crafted everything from a catchy Kirby theme song to a stoner’s culinary adventure, complete with sizzling pans and echoing munchies.
- We even made a sound effect of a car hitting rubber duckies – strangely satisfying, right?
💡 Pro Tip: udio can be a bit finicky, but with the right prompts and settings, it can produce some seriously impressive results. Don’t be afraid to play around with different genres, instruments, and moods.
🤖 The Future of AI: More Mats Than You Can Handle? 🤯
