Let’s examine an example of a final product that was completed in less than an hour from start to finish. While it might be rough and certainly has room for improvement, it serves as a practical illustration of the process:

Video Sample of what can be generated by using A.I. tools

Midjourney

I’ve utilised it in this experiment for the effortless creation of images based on text descriptions. By inputting the narrative produced by the Chatbots (see later in the article), I was able to generate appropriate images to complement the story.

You can give Midjourney existing images you have too, and it will describe them in text for you, which you can give back to Midjourney to generate its own take! As I have done with my photography, see the results here.

All the generated images for this story are available within this dedicated GitHub repository:

Story Scripts Using Large Language Model Chatbots

Google’s Bard and OpenAI’s ChatGPT are great options, but I encourage you to use any that suit your style. I have combined the output from both after spending a couple of minutes asking them to write an engaging story!

Explore how they respond to you asking them to create a story and understand how you can make it unique and adapt to your voice.

Here is the example story I generated through prompt engineering, that the video is based on:

The Odyssey of Stardust 💫

[Opening shot of a galaxy, the stars glittering against the deep velvet of space]

Voiceover: Once upon a timeless cosmos, there was a lonely atom named Stardust.

[Camera zooms into a tiny, glimmering speck]

Voiceover: Yes, an atom. Stardust wasn’t an ordinary atom. He was an atom of iron, forged in the heart of a dying star.

[Scenes of celestial bodies, nebulas, and stars explode into brilliant supernovas]

Voiceover: His journey begins in the throes of a supernova, an explosion so colossal that it lit up the universe for a moment. He was flung into the great void, lonely and adrift.

[The tiny atom zooms through the vast cosmos]

Voiceover: The universe, for all its infinite grandeur, can often be a lonely place. But Stardust was not deterred. He travelled through the void, hoping to find a place he could call home.

[The screen fills with stunning celestial imagery as Stardust encounters galaxies, black holes, and nebulae]

Voiceover: For millennia, Stardust drifted, witnessing the celestial symphony of the cosmos unfold. He watched stars being born and dying, galaxies spinning, and the dance of cosmic rays.

[Stardust passes by a variety of astronomical phenomena]

Voiceover: One day, he felt a strange pull, an unseen force drawing him towards a tiny, blue planet.

[Earth emerges from the darkness of space, beautiful and resplendent]

Voiceover: Stardust, attracted by the planet’s gravity, entered its atmosphere, streaking across the sky in a brilliant trail of light.

[Scenes of a meteor shower over the night sky]

Play.ht Voiceovers

This is a great resource for generating high-quality voiceovers that hit the spot! Play around with it and I highly doubt you won’t be surprised at the output you can create.

You can find all the audio files I’ve generated with Play.ht on my GitHub repository dedicated to this project:

Canva Video Creation

Canva is already a very well-known product, providing an easy-to-use web-based video editor.

It took less than 30 minutes to put the example video together!

Royalty-Free Music

Regards to Chosic for the music used in the video. The lovely track is Lupines by Piano Armor.

There are many resources out there for music you can use for free, but I encourage you to give back to the artists when you can.

Conclusion

A philosophical journey through the cosmos to make us introspect on life. A fairly beautiful product for one hour of work.
