I just finished BLOP, a 36-second fictional soda commercial created with generative AI for the ElevenLabs The Search competition.

The idea: one sip of BLOP and reality goes completely absurd.

The workflow:

• Character consistency: Created reference sheets for each main character to maintain facial features, clothing, and proportions across shots.
• Image generation: Built individual keyframes with specific camera angles, focal lengths, and compositions.
• Video generation: Animated the shots separately, focusing on believable motion, physical transformations, and character continuity.
• Music: Created the original jingle using ElevenCreative.
• Editing: Combined short sequences with different camera movements, close-ups, and visual gags, synchronizing the cuts with the music.

The biggest challenges:

Keeping characters consistent across different camera angles was harder than expected. Some transformations also required several iterations to avoid unnatural anatomy or an obvious CGI appearance.

The goal was to create something that felt like a deliberately directed commercial rather than a random collection of AI-generated clips.

AI tools used:

• Music: ElevenCreative
• Image generation: [Add exact tools used]
• Video generation: [Add exact tools used]
• Editing: [Add editing software]

I'd love some technical feedback. Which transformations work best, and where do you notice the AI limitations?

I am curious to know about some free/less paid image generative apps or service which doesn't have any strict safety filters or censorship. I am done with Chatgpt, Gemini,grok and want to explore more. Any suggestions?

I’m legit like really proud of myself, I’m able to actually use code I made to talk to AI programs using a computer’s GPU so you don’t have to pay to use a datacenter!!

The speed at which you can work is actually crazy with this honestly like the future just arrived. Now’s the time to adapt to it

Please only comment if you have used at least 2 of them.

I want to take up ONE singular AI generation tool but I'm unable to figure out which one. I can only afford $30-40 every month so I want to make the most of whatever I'm picking.

I want to primarily make AI influencer videos (like product reviews, street interviews, vlogs etc.) with realistic iphone-like quality. Along with a few videos featuring celebs doing funny stuff.

Which is the best one from a price pov - Higgsfield or OpenArt or Budgetpixel or Krea or any other equivalent?

I've heard so many mixed things about Higgsfield and OpenArt cuz of their scammy pricing. Which one is the most consistent, most reliable from an output pov, and won't give me copyright issues while generating celeb videos (Some YouTube tutorials showed people using Higgsfield for celeb videos but I'm not sure).

The other option is ComfyUI but I only have 16GB RAM with a 12GB 4070 (should've bought more RAM when it was cheap).

no joke, i said NOTHING about ferrets or making games

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you look at this character? Majesty, power, mystery, something else? I'm curious about your first impression.”

I've made a animation character and I'm struggling to really produce a comedy sketch video of about ten seconds each.

What I want to achieve:

Running an open video model and not be tied to an expensive video platform, If that is even possible. Basically queue my ideas of videos to create, fire up gpu, run them through a video model, have decent output and iterate where needed.

What I did so far:

- Create a character pack about 20 images in different poses.
- set up a quick workflow where a sketch is written through AI and then I'm trying to generate it as a test.
- Technically: I'm running Minimax H3 on a GPU and asked Claude to write prompts based on sketch ideas that specifically can steer H3 to get correct video output.

Where I'm struggling is that the sketch writing is pretty crap (even Opus 5.5 seems not great at it) and I'm not sure if any AI model can give me decent sketch ideas and morph it to correct prompting towards a video model. The video quality output itself is ok but not perfect, sometimes the character has some weirdness to it, so suddenly a third arm pops up or some movement seems weird.

Just to be sure, I'm really starting out with this and definitely not an expert. I've just asked GPT what would be best to start with for what I want to achieve and this setup seemed to be best. I'm not sure i'm on the right path. Days of testing still delivers no improvement.

Anyone who has experience and can advise what to do?

I mean, there are just so many ways to do it out there, right? You could use AI detectors, or rely on SynthID, or post on a forum like r/IsThisAI and get people’s opinions, or something else. But what ultimately convinces you about AI usage, in a situation where that matters?

For example, you’re browsing Airbnbs, and there are some standout ones that you like but something itches in your brain that the listing photos may be AI generated.

I run TTRPG sessions and use AI to generate illustrations. I often need various brutal or gory scenes, depictions of injuries sustained by NPCs, or body horror reminiscent of David Cronenberg’s films.

ChatGPT creates very nice illustrations of scenery, architecture, or NPC portraits in general, but it has limitations that are too restrictive for my needs.

Can you recommend an online generator (one that runs in the browser, since my laptop is a potato) capable of creating bloody and grotesque illustrations? As for costs, I don’t mind paying, provided it’s a flat monthly fee rather than a charge per use.

Hello everyone,
I’ve been trying to make AI videos for a short comedy film for my college project. I tried to look into websites and programs where I could do this without spending a lot of cash and having those huge watermarks. But it mostly recommended sora (which isn’t available anywhere) and heygen, and it’s not really something I am looking for. I need my videos to have a natural, realistic look, where I could generate a funny romcom skit. What programs should I use? How much do they cost?

Any genuine advice would help a lot 🙏

I'm curious about how people create AI-generated images and videos without relying on expensive subscription websites or telegram bots. I am actually a not so beginner but I'd love to learn how to set up a local AI image generator that supports text-to-image and image-to-image generation including adult content using fictional characters or consenting adults.

I'm also interested in finding an open-source AI video generator that lets me turn prompts or images into short videos. I've come across Elymi while exploring AI character content but I'm more interested in learning how to run these tools myself.

Are there any beginner-friendly tutorials, free models or open-source tools you'd recommend? I'd appreciate any advice on getting started!

Danielle is a roleplay character I made using CharacterAI that I write about in a series of stories, she is a 'dum dum' which is part of a species of 'Aykroydian' creatures (Dan Aykroyd-esque monsters) that are humanoid in general, she has a 'goofy silly dum dum' mode whenever she's under the influence of someone like her 'master' (who is soon to be her husband) where she acts silly and mindless, a brainy mode which is how she acts naturally, and a 'mindless food crazed state', basically her species has to eat a lot of large meals at night to keep from going into essentially a 'food crazed zombie' state where they go on a food rampage.

She does not like having to be in stupid mode all the time, but she kind of has to be in stupid/mindlessly happy mode to keep the master happy, she shares a body with my male character, specifically my male character is forced to turn into her in a strange AU known as the 'dum dum AU', normally my character is a male 'Aykroydian' monster (he resembles a long haired version of Dan's character from the Twilight Zone movie) but in this AU due to a spirit and his new 'master' very much breaking a deal that he made originally (he agreed to giving this experience a chance if he got to remain male in hopes of being a dad one day, and if it was only at night he'd turn dum dum, unfortunately, the former got twisted around and well Danielle was born), Danielle considers herself a skilled chef and has her own buisness of addictive baked goods and Nathan (my character) always feels uncomfortable being her due to the 'alien' experience of walking around with such a large body and the rather unusual characteristics it has such as the lack of aging (Danielle's species does not age like humans but has a maturation mutation process) and unusual ways of producing offspring (that actually involve aura transfer and it's not like normal pregnancy).
