๐ฌ Introduction to AI Filmmaking
The video begins with the host, Pat, welcoming viewers back and introducing himself as a filmmaker who specializes in creating 1950s Panavision-style movie trailers using new movies. Pat has been active on YouTube for a long time and is passionate about AI filmmaking. He explains that these trailers are an excellent way to practice filmmaking skills. Pat addresses common questions about his process and outlines the steps to create a trailer, starting with generating a script using AI, such as chat GP, and refining it for better quality. He also mentions the use of 11labs for voice generation and the importance of selecting the right voice for the trailer's dialogue.
๐ผ Music and Voiceover Creation
Pat discusses the process of generating music and voiceovers for the trailers. He prefers using platforms like Udio or Sunno, which allow users to input their desired music style and generate realistic-sounding music. He notes that these services are paid but offer free trials for experimentation. Pat also demonstrates how to use 11labs to generate a voiceover line for the trailer, emphasizing the addition of an exclamation point for added emphasis. He briefly touches on the use of vinyl crackling sounds for ambiance.
๐ AI Image and Video Generation
The core of the video involves creating the visual content for the trailer using AI. Pat opens the Midjourney tool and prompts it to generate an image of Luke Skywalker in a 1950s setting. He stresses the importance of including specific details in the prompt, such as the film stock and the time period. After selecting an image, Pat moves on to Pika Labs, where he attaches the image and uses negative prompts to refine the output. He experiments with different motion strengths and regenerates the video multiple times, a process he refers to as 'rolling,' until he gets a satisfactory result. Pat highlights the value of Pika's unlimited plan for his workflow.
๐ Post-Production and Final Touches
Once the video clip is generated, Pat discusses the post-production process. He scales up the video and adds a dramatic zoom-out effect. Pat also mentions reversing the speed of the video for a more engaging effect. He then shows an example of editing the old-fashioned way, adding color correction and vintage film overlays to give the trailer a more authentic 1950s look. Pat concludes by encouraging viewers to ask more questions in the comments and hints at making more videos like this one if there's interest.
๐ Theatrical Trailer Script Example
The video script concludes with a dramatic and detailed example of a trailer script for 'The Empire Strikes Back,' featuring a narrative that sets the scene in a universe threatened by darkness.
