Inspiration

I've always had a great love and fondness for music videos as a storytelling platform. With the current capabilities of AI tools, the ability to explore and create in this style has become a favorite creative outlet for me, allowing me to explore fascinating blends of music and visuals.

What it does

I enjoy placing my music videos in an alternate timeline as if they exist in reality (even being played on MTV)

How I built it

I start with a general thematic set of visuals created in Midhourney and choose images I feel can convey energy or emotion when animated. For this project, I then animate them in Midhourney as well, which helps maintain some consistency in style and movement. I then let the set of visuals inspire me for a music genre I feel best fits. I work back and forth with Chat GPT to build some lyrics that loosly fit the aesthetic (I like to keep them vague) and then I craft multiple prompts in Suno to get eventually something I think fits. I bring this all into Adobe Premiere where I edit, add any transition effects that feel necessary and do some additional color correcting. Finally I take the exported video into Topaz Video to upscale to 4k and add any minor sharpening adjustments.

Challenges we ran into

Occasionally I will need some additional transition footage, but generally the process is quite enjoyable and smooth.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I feel like the final product really feels like a true 'music video'

What we learned

As AI tools increase capabilities, I find it more and more compelling to create this style of output.

What's next for “Amants à distance” - Marion Vayre music video

I have been building up a set of these Alternate Timeline music videos on my YouTube channel, managing to have a few get some heavy viewing.
