Hi Friend,

If you’ve been following along, you probably saw some of the AI-generated images I posted recently. Crazy, right? It’s wild how far we’ve come with AI. Everyone's still obsessed with Midjourney, but there are so many other gems out there.

Today, I want to share the workflow I used to create "The Weekend" AI music video and introduce you to some tools that could take your creativity to the next level.

Let’s break it down into five simple steps — from training an AI model to the final animated product. Whether you’re looking to enhance your brand, create stunning visuals, or just have some fun, these tools and techniques are the secret sauce.

First, quick question:

AI Workflows: The 5-Step Guide

Step 1: Training the AI Avatar
Think of this as setting the stage. I started by training an AI avatar with a focus on accuracy and realism. It’s all about getting the little details right so the character doesn’t look, well, “AI-ish.” If you’re curious about how to train a realistic AI model with lifelike skin textures and fine details, check out my guide here. It walks you through the entire process, so you can create your own digital twin with the same level of precision.

Step 2: Captions That Guide the Story
Every good visual needs a story behind it. Here, I used ChatGPT to help me craft scene-specific captions. Picture a car speeding through an empty neon-lit cityscape, reflections bouncing off wet pavement — every little detail counts. Captions aren’t just text; they’re essential instructions that bring the AI’s vision to life, guiding it to capture the exact place, mood, and detail you want in each image.

Here is a prompt

“Imagine a neon-lit, almost surreal cityscape as the backdrop. [YourName] is behind the wheel, driving down a deserted boulevard in the heart of the city at night. The streets are empty, amplifying the sense of isolation and focus on the car’s movement. Bright, vibrant neon signs and billboards glow in pinks, blues, and purples, reflecting off the car windows and casting an intense, colorful glow onto [YourName]'s face. The atmosphere feels nostalgic and cinematic, reminiscent of the 80s, with a slightly hazy quality in the air, as if it’s just rained, and the wet pavement reflects all the colors around. The shot is captured as if on an iPhone, giving it an intimate and raw feeling, with a wide lens that captures the expansive urban landscape around. The camera angle is positioned just outside the car window, slightly tilted, emphasizing the streaks of neon light as they blur by. In this low-light setting, the contrast between darkness and neon glow is striking, creating a visually dynamic image where [YourName] stands out, embodying the vibe of a modern city night adventure filled with mystery and allure.”

Step 3: Generating Images on Flux
Now comes the fun part. Using Flux, I generated a series of images that captured every emotion and detail from the story. From intense action shots to close-ups with dramatic lighting, this tool brought everything to life. I love it.

Used Fal.ai

Step 4: Upscaling for Crystal-Clear Visuals
After generating the images, I used Clarity-UpScaler to make them sharper and more detailed. This step is key for getting that polished, professional look, especially if you’re posting on social media or using them for clients. Details make a big impact, and upscaling is what gives each image that “wow” factor.

Step 5: Animating for the Final Touch
The last step was bringing everything to life with Kling. I used image-to-video and set the creative scale at 3.5, keeping the prompts short and sweet while highlighting key words. This turned the still images into animations with subtle movements and effects, making each scene feel real and engaging. This final touch pulls everything together, making the whole project feel immersive and alive.
