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) and exploring music genres I enjoy through AI music tools.

How I built it

I started with a general thematic set of visuals created in Midjourney and chose images I felt can convey energy or emotion when animated. For this project, I then animated them in Midjourney and Kling, which helped maintain some consistency in style and movement, and leveraged some Start/End frame functionality. I wanted to create in a sort of 90's goth aesthetic and I worked back and forth with Chat GPT to build some lyrics that loosely fit the aesthetic (I like to keep them vague) and then I crafted multiple prompts in Suno to get eventually something that worked. I brought this all into Adobe Premiere where I edited, added any transition effects that felt necessary and did some additional color correcting. Finally I took the exported video into Topaz Video to upscale to 4k and add any minor sharpening adjustments.

Challenges we ran into

The process was generally quite enjoyable and smooth.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This video managed to land on some YouTube playlists as well as YouTube recommends and has garnered over 333k views so far.

What we learned

As AI tools increase capabilities, I find it more and more compelling to create this style of output. I also feel there is a nice audience for this type of creative output in AI.

What's next for “Under The Veil” - Crimson Veins 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.
