🎬 How I Build My AI Movies
One thing I don't do is ask AI to make an entire movie.
That's the fastest way to end up with a generic story.
Instead, I start with a basic story outline.
Not every detail.
Just enough to know where I'm headed.
Then I work clip by clip.
As each scene comes together, I start directing instead of just prompting.
I'll watch the scene and ask myself:
- What would naturally happen next?
- Does this feel like a real movie?
- Should I slow the pace down here?
- Do I need more suspense?
- Does this scene need comedy or emotion?
Most of the time, the story actually evolves while I'm making it.
I'll get an idea halfway through that wasn't in my original outline, and if it makes the movie better, I'll use it.
I also think about perspective.
If every scene follows the same character from beginning to end, the movie can start feeling flat.
Sometimes it's more interesting to cut away and show what another character is doing, reveal what the audience knows that the hero doesn't, or switch locations to build suspense before returning to the main character.
Those perspective changes make the world feel much bigger and help the story breathe.
At the end of the day, I'm not asking AI to tell the story for me.
I'm directing the story one scene at a time.
The AI is just helping me bring those scenes to life.
everything i did was
make a basic story dragon chasing a firefly, hes playful with attitude, he sounds like eddie murphy but not exactly him like hey homie betta stop right there , and yes i typed that as the example . make me a character sheet of my dragon he looks like a cute small dragon , similar too a picture i found on pinterest saying make him orignal looking . and my firefly make a cute orignal firefly that taunts him , firefly doesnt speak but the black dragon speaks as hes chasing him like hey homie you betta stop or hell nah , i said i want some slight adult humor w/ the language this isnt a childs cartoon. and then i said make me my first 15 second scene in a shotlist for seedance 2 , firefly taunts nox the dragon and he chases the firefly through the forest and thats it . i direct one scene at a time and to keep a consistent voice i extract the voice from the clip i get if i like it and use it as a reference telling chat gpt what reference slot its in and to always tell me in everyshotlist too keep reference 3 the exact voice for nox the black dragon. done then i direct the next scene what i want to happen next by talking to chatgpt
