Understanding the Concept

Paw Print Productions is renowned for videos that creatively merge animals with various elements like candy, space, liquid, fire, and gems, resulting in visually striking transformations. These videos often feature animals such as fish, puppies, and birds combined with different themes to create unique content.

Step 1: Creating the Right AI Image Prompts

The key to generating eye-catching images lies in crafting the perfect AI prompt. You might not know the exact commands used by the original creator, but that’s okay! Here’s how to get started:

Pick an Image You Like from a video that inspires you.
Use ChatGPT to generate a detailed prompt based on that image.
Enter this command in ChatGPT:“Provide a detailed description of this image, capturing as many elements as possible. Include specifics about the colors, textures, objects, and setting. Describe the atmosphere, notable features, and overall mood.”

ChatGPT will return a detailed prompt, but it may not be 100% accurate. Don’t worry—you can tweak it as needed.

Step 2: Generating AI Images with Leonardo.AI

Once you have your optimized prompt, it’s time to create the image using Leonardo.AI, which I believe is the best text-to-image AI tool available. Follow these steps:

Visit Leonardo.AI and log in.
Copy the ChatGPT-generated prompt and paste it into the prompt box.
Select the Model: Choose Phoenix 1.0 for the best results.
Keep default settings for prompt enhancement, style, and contrast.
Set the image dimensions to 9×16 and generate four images.
Click “Generate” and review the images.

If your AI-generated image needs fine-tuning:

Generate new variations until you achieve the desired look.

Click the Image-to-Image option.

Upload the generated image and adjust the strength setting (0.3 is a good start)

Step 3: Animating Images into Video with KLING AI

Now that you have your images, let’s animate them into a dynamic video. I use KLING AI because of its high-quality animation capabilities. Here’s how:

Open KLING AI and choose AI Videos.
Select KLING AI Version 1.6 for the best results.
Upload your AI-generated image.
Set the prompt strength to 0.5 (higher values make the video follow the prompt more closely).
Choose Professional Mode and set the duration to 5 seconds.
Click “Generate” and review the animation.

To improve your animation, try these prompts:

Bird: “The lens rotates, capturing dynamic angles for the bird.”
Dog: “The dog runs toward the viewer as the camera slowly pulls back.”
Vulture: “Animate the bird’s colors to cascade like water droplets in slow motion.”

Step 4: Editing the Final Video with CapCut

With your animated clips ready, it’s time to edit and refine your video using CapCut:

Import all media files (animated clips, audio, and additional footage).
Arrange clips in the timeline to match the flow of the content.
Add transitions and effects to enhance the visual appeal.
Adjust timing and sync with audio for a polished final result.
Export the video in high resolution.
