7 Minutes to Live -- $1,000,000 AI Film Award Submission

A short, 9 minute video by PJ Ace. He added some additional details in the video description:

Script: When I created this story a year ago, I needed an excuse for why character consistency didn't exist.

What if you woke up in another person's body each day?

A year later, my friend (and Emmy Award winning writer) Mike Ryan adapted the script to 9 minutes with me.

Shotlist: I asked my friend Dean Israelite (director of the Power Rangers movie) if he would direct this film while I played more of a showrunner and AI orchestrator.

He started the process by creating a shotlist.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2027) | R-Rated AI Trailer

Fan made video of what a Legend of Zelda movie could look like.

::: spoiler Tap for official Video Description Nintendo took 40 years to give us a Legend of Zelda movie.
I made this in 5 days.
Let me show you how I made this in 5 simple steps inside of Freepik: 🧵

Please read this with images on X, it is infinitely easier to understand with reference images for the steps below:
https://x.com/PJaccetturo/status/2008559114704875888

1 - Story

I ditched the bright Nintendo look for a gritty, grounded reality.
Zelda isn't just waiting in a castle; she's seeing her home get destroyed and has to act.

I mapped the specific beats and scenes:
Fear → Ruin → Rage → Capture → Confrontation

1.5 - Location Scouting

I then mapped out all the iconic Hyrule locations that I wanted.

I wanted them to be cinematic and chaotic.

Generating a quick "mood board" helps you get consistent results when you dive into each scene next.

2: Image Generation
The secret weapon is Nano Banana Pro inside @freepik.

I use a specific prompt structure to generate a 2x2 grid.

This gives me consistent lighting and multiple angles of the same scene instantly.

Do not use 3x3 grids, they lose too much detail.

Look closely and see how Freepik lets you add a character reference (Zelda), a style reference (I used a cinematic grid of shots) and other references (in this case, a specific wooden doll)

This is the secret to consistent, cohesive visuals!

You can get the exact 3000-character prompt that I use for consistent scenes.

I’m sharing it in my newsletter tomorrow, so make sure you sign up (link at the end of the thread).

Tip: Always set the aspect ratio to 21:9 for that cinematic feel. 🎬

4: Selection & Organization

I generated about 10-20 grids per scene to get the perfect shots.

Download grids

Crop individual shots

Once you have a bunch of cropped shots, arrange them as cohesively as possible.

Generate way more than you need!

Once you have your "selects", take the cropped shots back into Freepik and upscale using Nano Banana Pro.

I have a special super long upscaler prompt that really works well (also in my newsletter)

Step 5: Animation

In Freepik, I used @Kling_ai 2.6

Prompt Tip: Describe exactly what physical action you want (e.g., "looking back in fear") and SPAM camera shake.

Handheld camera movement sells the realism more than anything else.

Music & Sound

I found an epic orchestral version of the Zelda theme by Epic Trailer Music UK.

It made the trailer go from "good" to "great".

My friend Matheus did the sound effects.

DM me if you want his contact info, he's fantastic to work with!

Be sure to give @freepik a try!

And that's it! If you enjoyed this thread, let me know what you think, give me a follow and let's stay in touch!

I loved playing the Zelda games growing up, and can't wait for the real movie!

Lo Pan - 95' KiD

3 min video that depicts gaming from a 90s kid's perception.

Official description on the video:

I've been playing video games for over 30 years. This video is a love letter to the games and moments that stayed with me, the ones that shaped how I think, feel, and create. From early pixel worlds to modern cinematic experiences, it's a personal timeline of growing up with games always present in the background. It's not a ranking, not a history lesson, and not about skill. It's about memory. Late nights, first wins, impossible levels, iconic characters and the moments that stayed. A thank you to the developers who built these worlds, and a gift to the gamers who grew up in them.

Tools used: Kling, MidJourney ,Gemini and Suno for beats

The Adventures of Reemo Green

A short (11 min) sci-fi video of a character on a journey for more knowledge. The creator put in about 120 hours of work across different tools to make this video.

It's pretty cool to see the kind of videos that used to only be possible for large studios are now able to be created by much smaller teams and sometimes just a single individual.

I think it allows a much wider variety of creatives to get their ideas out there without needing to appeal to the interests of investors.

I know videos like this just get downvoted to oblivion on the Fediverse, but I think there's a big difference between "ai slop" where someone just puts in a prompt and clicks a button vs someone who works hard to come up with a storyline, dialog, music and a workflow to keep consistent characters for a video like this.

RIFT - Concept Exploration

RIFT -- A cataclysm splits the Earth in two. One half drifts into orbit around a rogue star and freezes. Decades later, survivors launch an expedition—only to find life has changed in impossible ways. This short, created by GenAI artist Dale Williams, is part of Promise’s Concept Exploration sessions—where filmmakers shape bold ideas, visualize new worlds, and push storytelling forward with next-generation tools.

Kira (Short Film on Human Cloning)

It's definitely impressive to see what a single person can do with a bunch of bunch of different AI tools.

Until recently, something like this would have only been possible by a large studio.

A little more information from the video description:

My new AI-assisted short film is here. Kira explores human cloning and the search for identity in today’s world.

It took nearly 600 prompts, 12 days (during my free time), and a $500 budget to bring this project to life. The entire film was created by one person using a range of AI tools, all listed at the end.

Enjoy.
