My music video centers on the women’s suffrage movement in the early 1900s, capturing the immense hardships women endured, living without a voice, without a vote, and often with only work and struggle. Through blood, pain, and perseverance over many years, they made the impossible possible. This project honors their courage and the long, difficult journey toward change.

Script Development: To develop lyrics that would embody the message I wanted to convey, I used ChatGPT to construct a soft, country-inspired narrative—one that felt sad, powerful, and authentic. Through several iterations, I refined the lyrics until they captured the emotional weight and historical tone I was striving for.

Audio and Music Selection: Once the lyrics were finalized, I turned to Suno AI to bring the song to life. I experimented with various musical styles, rhythms, and vocal tones before settling on a female voice that resonated deeply with the era and essence of the 1900s. This voice helped evoke the struggles and quiet strength of the women the video represents.

Visuals and Character Creation: For visuals, I used Genesis AI to generate all the imagery seen in the video. To reflect the somber and harsh reality of the time, I chose a black-and-white aesthetic. This not only represented the era’s difficulties but also created a striking contrast with the colored visuals at the end of the video—symbolizing hope, change, and the progress women have made since.

Editing and Assembly: Finally, I compiled all elements in iMovie, carefully blending the music, visuals, and animations into one cohesive, emotionally powerful video experience.

By combining a range of AI tools, Chat GPT, Suno AI V3, Geneses AI, Sora, and Runway. I was able to produce a video that vividly illustrates the daily struggles that women faced and communicates a message that remains deeply important today.
