 | Heyo, PJ Accetturo the Princess Mononoke / LOTR Ghibli AI film guy. Midjourney v7 is breathtaking. I created this short film from scratch in just 3 hours, using only $50 in Kling credits. Here’s how I created it (and how you can too) Seriously, I can’t get over how good these images look. I used no references, no moodboards, just simple prompts. Step 1 was working with ChatGPT to create a shortlist: “Generate me a shotlist for 20 shots of a misty Japanese village getting ready for war, using this prompt structure:“A cinematic wide shot of a traditional Japanese samurai village nestled in a mountain valley at dawn; soft morning mist rolls over thatched rooftops and rice paddies; villagers begin to stir as smoke rises from cooking fires.” It would give me 20 prompts at a time, and then I iterated and asked it for closeups, wides, or different shots. I then upscaled them in Topaz Gigapixel (2x - Standard mode) and then brought them into Kling. In Kling, I like simple prompts; most of these are “slow zoom in, slow motion” or “walking forward, slow motion.” I wish I had more time to add sound effects and a VO, but it’s 2am, and I have to get up early for other projects. I'm really impressed. David Holz and his team made this worth the wait. I can’t wait to see what everyone else cooks up this week! Feel free to follow me on X at PJAccetturo! [link] [comments] |
