1. 0:002.9 million views. This is a YouTube
2. 0:03channel called Day One Films with just
3. 0:0610 videos and 30,000 subscribers. Every
4. 0:09video on this channel is a short
5. 0:11animated film covering topics like
6. 0:13discipline, dopamine, motivation, and
7. 0:16self-improvement. Self-improvement is
8. 0:18already a popular niche on YouTube, but
9. 0:20what makes this format special is how it
10. 0:23transforms simple motivational content
11. 0:25into a cinematic experience. Today, I'm
12. 0:28going to show you how to create a
13. 0:29similar video from scratch using AI
14. 0:32tools. Step one, write the script.
15. 0:35First, we need a story, and writing is
16. 0:37the fastest part of this entire process.
17. 0:40For this, we'll use ChatGPT.
18. 0:42In the first prompt, explain the channel
19. 0:45style and ask ChatGPT to generate new
20. 0:47video ideas using the same format. Each
21. 0:50idea should include a title, a main
22. 0:52character, a setting, and an emotional
23. 0:54hook. Once you've selected your idea,
24. 0:57move on to the second prompt. Ask
25. 0:59ChatGPT to write a script of
26. 1:01approximately 3 minutes. The script
27. 1:03should use first-person narration with a
28. 1:06calm, slow, and emotional tone. Keep the
29. 1:09sentences short so the voice-over sounds
30. 1:11natural and engaging. In the third
31. 1:13prompt, ask ChatGPT to divide the entire
32. 1:16script into individual scenes. For every
33. 1:19scene, you need three things: an image
34. 1:21prompt, a motion prompt, and the
35. 1:23voice-over line that belongs to that
36. 1:25scene. Also, ask ChatGPT to create a
37. 1:28visual continuity guide describing the
38. 1:30character's appearance and overall art
39. 1:33style. This will help keep the character
40. 1:34consistent throughout the entire video.
41. 1:37And that's it. Our script and scene plan
42. 1:39are ready. Step two, generate images.
43. 1:42Now, let's move to Goofball, where we'll
44. 1:44transform our story into visuals. Select
45. 1:47an available image generation model and
46. 1:49set the aspect ratio to 16:9 so your
47. 1:52video fits YouTube's widescreen format.
48. 1:55But, there's one very important thing to
49. 1:57remember. The character must look the
50. 1:59same in every scene. If the character
51. 2:02changes from one image to another, the
52. 2:04entire film will look like a random
53. 2:06collection of AI-generated pictures.
54. 2:09That's why we won't generate all the
55. 2:11images at once. Instead, we'll start by
56. 2:14creating one anchor image.
57. 2:17This image will serve as our visual
58. 2:19reference for the character and the
59. 2:20entire environment. Whenever you
60. 2:23generate a new scene, use this original
61. 2:25image as a reference, provided your
62. 2:27selected tool supports reference images.
63. 2:30Now, we can create different scenes,
64. 2:32such as the character staring at the
65. 2:33ceiling, a clock hanging on the wall, a
66. 2:36phone glowing on the desk, and his
67. 2:38reflection in the window.
68. 2:40Every scene should feel like it belongs
69. 2:42to the same character and the same
70. 2:44world. Pay close attention to the colors
71. 2:46as well. Keeping the visuals consistent
72. 2:49will help give your video a recognizable
73. 2:51cinematic style. Step three, animate the
74. 2:55images.
75. 2:56Now, it's time to turn our static images
76. 2:58into animated scenes. In Google Flow,
77. 3:01use the available video generation or
78. 3:03frames to video option.
79. 3:05Add each image as the starting frame and
80. 3:07paste the corresponding motion prompt.
81. 3:10For example, you can ask the camera to
82. 3:12slowly move toward the character, tilt
83. 3:14upward toward the ceiling, or gently
84. 3:17pull away while focusing on the clock.
85. 3:19Keep the movement simple and slow.
86. 3:22Remember, these films don't need
87. 3:23fast-paced action. Sometimes, a still
88. 3:26room and a slow camera movement can
89. 3:28create a much stronger emotional impact.
90. 3:31Repeat this process for every scene.
91. 3:33Choose the duration of each clip
92. 3:35according to your narration. If your
93. 3:37selected mode supports 4-second clips,
94. 3:40you can start with that duration.
95. 3:42Once all your clips are ready, download
96. 3:44them to your computer. Step four, create
97. 3:47the voiceover.
98. 3:48Now, we need a voice that makes the
99. 3:49story feel believable. For this, we can
100. 3:52use Eleven Labs. Next, paste your script
101. 3:55into the tool, generate the voiceover,
102. 3:58and download the audio file once it's
103. 4:00ready.
104. 4:01Step five, edit everything in CapCut.
105. 4:04Now comes the final editing process.
106. 4:07Open CapCut and place your voiceover on
107. 4:09the timeline first. Next, arrange each
108. 4:12animated clip underneath the
109. 4:13corresponding line of narration. Make
110. 4:16sure every scene matches the dialogue
111. 4:18and that the transitions feel smooth.
112. 4:20Finally, review all the scenes, check
113. 4:22the voiceover and background music, and
114. 4:24export your video in 1080p.
115. 4:27Now, let's see what our finished film
116. 4:29can look like.
117. 4:30>> Every morning I wake up with the feeling
118. 4:31that I'm falling behind. I open my phone
119. 4:34before my feet touch the floor. Someone
120. 4:36buys a house, someone gets promoted,
121. 4:39someone my age builds the life I'm still
122. 4:41trying to understand.
123. 4:43And suddenly, my own life feels smaller.
124. 4:46Nothing changes in my room, the same
125. 4:48walls, the same ceiling, the same
126. 4:50unfinished plans.
127. 4:52>> And that's the entire workflow. If you
128. 4:54want to create this kind of content,
129. 4:56start with a strong story because AI can
130. 4:59generate the visuals, but a powerful
131. 5:01story is what keeps the audience
132. 5:02watching until the end.
