0:00Now, stick figure animation is one of
0:01the easiest faceless niche you can jump
0:03on right now and potentially make money
0:05from using only free tools and a lot of
0:08people are still missing out on it. I
0:10recently found a channel in this niche
0:11that has already pulled in millions of
0:13views. One of their videos was posted
0:15just 13 days ago and it already has over
0:172.3 million views. And what's even
0:20crazier is that this channel has gained
0:22over 26,000 subscribers with only 10
0:25videos uploaded. For a channel that is
0:27still very new, that is actually insane.
0:30And it's not just one video doing well.
0:32Almost every other video they post is
0:34pulling in hundreds of thousands of
0:36views as well.
0:37Now, I also created my own stick figure
0:39channel and in the first month it made
0:41over $900 and gained over 95,000
0:44subscribers. And there are lots of
0:46niches you could actually do, whether
0:48it's documentary, comedy, history, true
0:51crime, or even educational content. You
0:54can do this using only stickman
0:55animations. So, in this video, I'm going
0:58to show you the exact workflow I use to
1:00create this type of content with just a
1:02simple prompt. I'll walk you through the
1:04full step-by-step process,
1:06>> [music]
1:06>> how to create original stick figure
1:07videos, how to make them look clean, and
1:10how you can potentially build a channel
1:12around this niche using free AI tools.
1:14And the best part is the process is very
1:17simple. I mean, check out this video I
1:19created in just a few minutes using this
1:21exact prompt. Imagine saving just $10
1:24every single day. Sounds like nothing,
1:26right? But while your friend spends his
1:27$10 on snacks and random stuff, you keep
1:30yours. After 1 month, you've saved $300.
1:34After 1 year, $3,650.
1:38And after 5 years, that's $18,250.
1:42Same $10, completely different results.
1:45The secret isn't being rich, it's being
1:47consistent. Yeah, everything you just
1:50watched was created using completely
1:52free AI tools. And in this video, I'm
1:54about to show you how to recreate it
1:56step-by-step.
1:57Before we get started, don't forget to
1:59like the video, subscribe, and turn on
2:01notifications so you don't miss my next
2:03tutorial. Now, let's get started. All
2:06right. So, to get started with this
2:07workflow, the first thing you're going
2:09to need is a chatbot. For this, you can
2:11use ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, or
2:15any other chatbot you prefer. Any of
2:17them should work fine.
2:18Now, once you have access to your
2:20chatbot, just like I do here, the next
2:22thing you're going to need is access to
2:24this Google prompt I built specifically
2:26for this workflow. As you can see,
2:28everything is already structured and
2:30pretty simple to follow. I'm going to
2:32show you how to get access to this
2:33prompt by the end of the video. So, make
2:35sure you stick around and don't miss any
2:37important part. Once you get access to
2:39the prompt, the first thing you need to
2:41do is copy the entire thing. Make sure
2:44you copy it exactly the same way I'm
2:46doing it right now. Don't skip any part
2:49because every section of this prompt is
2:50important for the workflow to work
2:52properly. Now, once the prompt is
2:54copied, head back to your chatbot. For
2:56this example, I'm using ChatGPT. Paste
2:59the entire prompt into the chat and wait
3:01for it to load properly. Once everything
3:04is pasted in, click send. Now, once you
3:07send it, the chatbot is going to analyze
3:09the prompt and start the workflow. And
3:11as you can see here, it gives us the
3:13first option. Everything is very simple
3:15because all you have to do is select the
3:17answer that matches what you want to
3:18create. Here, we have different niches
3:21we can cover under the stickman
3:22animation style. For this example, I'm
3:25going with the finance and money option
3:27because that's what I used for this
3:28particular video. So, I'll select
3:30finance and money, then click continue.
3:33Once I select finance and money, the
3:35next thing it asks me to do is pick a
3:37character.
3:38This prompt has three main stickman
3:40characters built into it. So, all you
3:42have to do is choose the specific
3:44character style you want to use. We have
3:46the orange hoodie pointer. We have the
3:48classroom stickman duo. And we also have
3:51the orange explorer stick man.
3:53There's also an option to use your own
3:55custom stick man reference if you
3:56already have one. For this example, I'm
3:59going with the classroom stick man duo.
4:01So, I'll select that option and click
4:02continue. Now, once the character is
4:05selected, the next thing I'm going to do
4:07is choose the video format. Here we have
4:09three format options. We have short-form
4:12vertical video, which is 9:16. We have
4:15long-form horizontal video, which is
4:1716:9. And we also have square video,
4:20which is 1:1.
4:22For this example, I'm creating a
4:23short-form video. So, I'm going to
4:25choose the short-form option, which is
4:279:16. Then, I'll click send. You can
4:30create long-form videos if you want, or
4:32short-form videos depending on the
4:34platform you're posting on. So, just
4:36choose the format that matches what
4:38you're trying to create. Now, after
4:40choosing the format, the next thing it
4:42asks is how long I want the video to be.
4:44And here we have different options. You
4:46can create a 30-second video, a
4:4860-second video, or even go all the way
4:51up to 10 minutes. It really depends on
4:53the type of video you're making and how
4:55much credit you want to spend. But for
4:57this tutorial, we're doing this using
4:59the free method. So, I'm going with the
5:0130-second option. I'll select 30 seconds
5:04and click continue. Now, after that, it
5:06asks us if we already have a video idea,
5:09or if we want it to generate ideas for
5:11us.
5:12If you already have a video idea, you
5:14can click I already have an idea and
5:16paste in your own idea. But if you don't
5:18have one yet, you can tell it to
5:20generate 10 video ideas for you.
5:22For this example, I'm going to let it
5:24generate the ideas. So, I'll select
5:26generate 10 ideas for me and click send.
5:29Now, once I send it, it processes
5:31everything we selected. It understands
5:33that we're creating a finance and money
5:35video. It also understands the character
5:37style, the video format, and the
5:39duration.
5:41Then, it gives us 10 different video
5:42ideas we can choose from.
5:44As you can see here, idea number one
5:46says, "Why you're always broke even when
5:49you make money?" That's a classic idea.
5:52Then idea number two says, "The $5 habit
5:55that's keeping you poor."
5:56We also have "Why rich people don't buy
5:59everything they can afford." And another
6:01one says, "What happens if you save $10
6:04every day?"
6:05For this example, I'm going with that
6:07idea. "What happens if you save $10
6:09every day?"
6:11So, I'll select that idea, come down
6:13here, click select idea, and continue.
6:16Now, once I do that, the chatbot
6:18generates the voiceover script for the
6:20video.
6:21As you can see, we now have a clean
6:23voiceover script ready for the video.
6:25This is the narration we're going to use
6:27later.
6:28But, we're not copying the voiceover
6:29yet. First, we're going to generate the
6:32image prompts. So, I'll come down here
6:34and type next. Then, I'll click send.
6:37Once I do that, the chatbot starts
6:39generating the image prompts for each
6:41scene. And don't worry, we're going to
6:43generate all the images at once, so we
6:45don't have to manually create each scene
6:47one by one.
6:49Now, let's wait for the full image
6:50prompts to generate. As you can see, it
6:53starts with scene one. Then, it
6:55generates scene two. And it keeps going
6:57until all the scenes are completed. For
6:59this 30-second video, we have a total of
7:02eight scenes.
7:03Now, from the looks of things, all our
7:05scenes have been generated. You can see
7:07it goes from scene one all the way down
7:09to scene eight. So, what I'm going to do
7:11now is copy the entire image generation
7:14prompt. Make sure you copy all the
7:16scenes from scene one down to the final
7:19scene. Don't leave anything out. Once
7:22everything is selected, click copy. Now
7:24that the image prompts are copied, the
7:26next tool we're going to use is Google
7:28Flow. Google Flow is free to use because
7:30they give you 50 credits every single
7:32day. And that should be enough to create
7:34one video using this workflow. So, once
7:37you open Google Flow, turn on agent
7:39mode. After that, come over here and
7:41switch the aspect ratio to 9:16.
7:44Then, come over here as well and make
7:46sure this is also set to 9:16. For the
7:49video model, switch it to Omni Flash
7:511.1. Once everything is set, click save.
7:55Now, come into the agent chat inside
7:57Google Flow. Paste the image generation
7:59prompt we copied from ChatGPT. Once the
8:02full prompt is pasted in, click send.
8:05Now, Google Flow is going to process the
8:07prompt and generate all eight images in
8:09one go. That way, we don't have to
8:11generate every image individually. This
8:13is the part that makes the workflow much
8:15faster. And as you can see, all the
8:17images are being generated at once. So,
8:20now we just wait for the final output.
8:24Now, as you can see, all eight images
8:26have been generated. We have image one
8:28all the way down to the final image. The
8:30next step is the animation process. So,
8:33what we're going to do now is come back
8:35to ChatGPT. At the bottom, you'll see
8:37where it says to type next for the
8:39animation prompts. So, I'm going to type
8:42next and click send. And just like that,
8:45the animation prompts start generating.
8:47This process only takes a few seconds.
8:49So, we just wait for all the animation
8:51prompts to be ready.
8:53Now, as you can see, the animation
8:56prompts have been generated. We have
8:57animation prompts for scene one all the
9:00way down to scene eight. And each scene
9:02is designed to be 4 seconds long. That
9:04way, we don't burn through too many
9:06credits. Now, after this, I'll also show
9:09you how to generate your thumbnail for
9:10the video. But first, we need to animate
9:13the images. So, I'm going to copy the
9:15entire animation prompt. Make sure you
9:17copy everything exactly the same way I'm
9:20doing it here. Every detail is important
9:22because this is what tells Google Flow
9:24how to animate each image. Once the
9:26animation prompt is copied, come back to
9:28Google Flow. Inside the agent chat,
9:30paste the full animation prompt. Then,
9:32click send. Now, Google Flow is going to
9:35process the prompt and animate all the
9:37images at once. So, instead of animating
9:39each image individually, this prompt
9:41should handle the entire animation
9:43process in one go. Once it's ready,
9:45Google Flow will ask you for approval
9:47before it starts generating. Here, it
9:49says the animation will cost around 56
9:51credits. It was supposed to be around 50
9:53credits for this workflow, so I'll
9:55quickly check if any of the scenes are
9:57more than 4 seconds.
9:58From the looks of things, everything is
10:00still 4 seconds. So, I'll go ahead and
10:02click approve. Now, the animation
10:04process has started. So, we're going to
10:06wait and see what the final output looks
10:08like.
10:09And as you can see, all our scenes have
10:12now been animated. Every single one of
10:14them has been animated properly, and the
10:16characters stayed consistent across the
10:17scenes. Now, I'm just going to preview
10:20each animation to see how everything
10:21looks.
10:26And yeah, this looks really clean. The
10:28characters stayed consistent, the
10:30movements are simple, the background
10:32stays clean, and the whole thing matches
10:34the style we're going for. So, all the
10:37images were animated in one go. Now, if
10:39you have a paid account, this workflow
10:41becomes even easier because you can
10:43create more videos without worrying too
10:45much about credits. But, for this
10:47tutorial, we're using a free account, so
10:49we're working with the daily credits.
10:51The next thing we need to do is download
10:52each animated clip in the correct order.
10:55When you hover over the animations,
10:56you'll see the name or title of each
10:58one. But, instead of guessing, just come
11:00back to the generated images. This shows
11:03us which image matches each animation.
11:05So, for the first animation, I'll select
11:07the matching clip and click download. As
11:09you can see, the animation has now been
11:11downloaded. Now, we'll repeat the same
11:14process for the remaining animations.
11:16Check the image order, find the matching
11:18animation, click download, then move to
11:20the next one. So, I'll download the
11:22second animation. Then, I'll check the
11:24third one and download it as well. And
11:27I'll keep repeating this process until
11:28all the animated clips have been
11:30downloaded. Make sure you download them
11:32in the right order, so it's easier to
11:33arrange them inside CapCut later. Once
11:36all the animations are downloaded, the
11:38next step is to generate the voiceover.
11:40So, now we're going to head back to
11:42ChatGPT. Scroll all the way back up
11:44until you find a voiceover script that
11:46was generated earlier. This is the
11:48script right here. Since this is a short
11:50video, the voiceover is also short. Now,
11:53I'm going to copy the script. Once I
11:55copy it, I'll head over to 11 Labs. You
11:58can use any voiceover generator you
12:00want. There are plenty of options out
12:02there. You can use 11 Labs, Noise AI, or
12:05any other voice tool you prefer. But,
12:07for this example, I'm using 11 Labs.
12:10Once 11 Labs is open, paste the
12:12voiceover script into the text box.
12:14After that, click generate. This process
12:17usually takes only a few seconds. And as
12:20you can see, the voiceover is now ready.
12:22Now, I'm going to download the voiceover
12:24and save it inside the same folder where
12:26I saved all the animations. That way,
12:29everything is organized in one place.
12:31Now, the next part is editing. So, I'm
12:34going to open CapCut. Once CapCut is
12:36open, create a new project and import
12:38everything we just generated. That
12:41includes all the animated clips and the
12:43voiceover. As you can see, I've
12:45successfully imported all my animations
12:47into CapCut. Now, I'm going to drag each
12:50animation into the timeline in the
12:51correct order. Make sure you arrange
12:53them exactly the same way they were
12:55generated. That way, the visuals match
12:58the narration properly. So, I'll start
13:00with animation one, then animation two,
13:03then animation three, and I'll keep
13:05going until all the clips are placed on
13:07the timeline. Once all the animations
13:09are in the timeline, the next thing we
13:11need to add is the voiceover. So, I'll
13:13drag the voiceover underneath the video
13:15clips.
13:16Now, sometimes your voiceover might be
13:18slightly longer than the total length of
13:20the clips. If that happens, just select
13:23all your video clips at once. Then,
13:25click on speed and adjust the speed
13:27until the video matches your voice over
13:29properly. As you can see, mine now
13:32matches the voice over perfectly. Once
13:34everything is aligned, play through the
13:36video to check if the timing is correct.
13:38Now, after playing through it,
13:40everything sounds good. The voice over
13:42matches the animation, the scenes are in
13:44the right order, and the video flows
13:46properly. All of this was created using
13:49one prompt and a few simple clicks. Now,
13:52after checking everything, this already
13:54looks like content people can connect
13:55with. Especially because the topic is
13:57finance, and people love watching simple
14:00money-related videos. But, we're not
14:02done yet. The next thing we need to add
14:05is captions. To do that, select all the
14:08clips and click create compound clip.
14:10Once the clips are turned into a
14:11compound clip, click on generate
14:13captions. CapCut will take a few seconds
14:16to analyze the voice over and generate
14:18captions for the video. Once the
14:20captions are ready, you'll see them
14:21appear on the timeline. Now, the
14:23captions are currently in a plain white
14:25style. So, we need to change the color
14:27and the font style to make them look
14:28better. Go over to templates and choose
14:31a caption style that fits your video.
14:33For this example, I'm going with this
14:35one because it looks clean and classy.
14:37Then, I'll move the captions upwards so
14:39they're more visible on the screen. The
14:41template already comes with a clean
14:42color, so we don't need to do too much.
14:45Now, I'm going to play through the video
14:46again. And yes, everything looks clean.
14:49The captions match the video, the
14:51animation looks good, and the final
14:53video is ready to export.
14:54>> [music]
14:55>> Now, all you have to do is click export.
14:57Give your video a name. For this
14:59example, I'll just call it final. Then,
15:01click export. And that's it. Your final
15:04stick man animation video is ready. But,
15:07before we check out the final result,
15:08don't forget to like this video,
15:10subscribe, [music] and turn on your
15:12notifications so you don't miss my next
15:14tutorial. And if you need access to this
15:16exact prompt, just comment MarkAIguy
15:19below, and I'll send it to you
15:20completely free. Now, let's check out
15:22the final video we created with this
15:24workflow. Imagine saving just $10 every
15:27single day. Sounds like nothing, right?
15:29But while your friend spends his $10 on
15:31snacks and random stuff, you keep yours.
15:34After 1 month, you've saved $300. After
15:371 year, $3,650.
15:40And after 5 years, that's $18,250.
15:45Same $10, completely different results.
15:48The secret isn't being rich. It's being
15:50consistent.
