TikTok inspired Dino-song (not original in the slightest). Phone recorder for song, Midjourney for the dino with boots, Runway for animating the still image of the dinosaur to make it walk, and FlexClip for the auto-generated subtitles.
I can't sing well but this was really fun to make 😄 🦕🥾
Came across a tiny dino story on TikTok and found myself singing it on repeat, so decided to turn it into my own video for a friends little who also love dinos, just because 😄
Original TikTok which inspired this): https://lnkd.in/gWjfzdai
My friend lives in UK so will need to wait for the reaction ðŸ˜ðŸ˜„
Steps involved:
1. Phone recorder for the song (again, not my original lyrics). I used a bunch of free online tools for removing the traffic noise, it worked pretty well!
2. Midjourney for the dino image, this is the prompt:
Tiny Happy Triceratops Wearing Bright Green Wellies Vibrant Watercolour Childlike Illustration Cartoon Chibi Full Background --Aspect 7:4
3. Runway for animating the dinosaur image so it looks like it's happily walking along. I have no idea how people are creating such awesome full cartoon episodes with genai, but willll learn how!
4. Canva for putting audio and video together and speeding it up to 1.2x speed.
5. FlexClip for auto-generating and overlaying the captions. It's my fave captioning tool for the range of styles. Not 100% accurate or entirely in sync, but pretty good.
Also used a free online tool for removing the watermark from the video, then the following code to compress the video via the terminal:
ffmpeg -i "dino_song_smol.mp4" -c:v libx264 -crf 28 -b:v 500k -c:a aac -b:a 108k "dino_song.mp4"That was fun!
