For this project, I utilized a range of AI tools to collaboratively produce a five-minute music video on the theme of the American West. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

  1. Script Development: I began by working with ChatGPT to develop a music script focused on the significant events and themes of the American West, tailored specifically for a music video. This initial script laid the foundation for an engaging narrative.
  2. Historical Accuracy: I then used Claude AI to review and refine the script for historical accuracy, ensuring that the content was both informative and accurate.
  3. Song Creation: With the revised script, I turned to Suno AI to generate a song with a country music style, a genre I chose for its connection to the American West’s spirit and cultural resonance.
  4. Image Planning: Next, I collaborated with ChatGPT to plan the visual elements for each line in the script. ChatGPT provided prompts for images that would correspond to the lyrics, suggesting visuals that captured the landscapes, characters, and essence of the American West.
  5. Image Generation: I used Stable Diffusion to generate the images based on these prompts. This included scenes of the Western landscape as well as visuals of a band, enhancing the feel of a live performance within the video.
  6. Video Animation: To bring the images to life, I uploaded them to Runway AI, which allowed me to animate the scenes. I directed the movement, specifying camera angles and transitions to create a visually dynamic video.
  7. Editing and Final Assembly: Finally, I compiled the animated clips in DaVinci Resolve, aligning each video segment with the song’s timeline. After fine-tuning, the video achieved the seamless blend of audio and visuals I envisioned.

This collaborative process across multiple AI platforms enabled me to create a compelling, historically rooted music video that captures the spirit of the American West
