Seedance 2.5 + Minimax H3 is killer for music ads
Full guide on how you can make it yourself:
1. Choose a style from Pinterest to apply as reference to GPT image 2
2. Lyrics is something that came just from talking to our clients. I used FABLE and gave it all the bottom lines of the lyrics I could think of and it arranged structure.
* I still needed to edit some of the lyrics myself because they were too sloppy.
3. People don't want to see a singer with lip sync. They need something interesting. So I recommend the structure of A roll + B roll
A roll - that's your singer singing with lip sync. I created a contact sheet with 3 camera angles in one image. then I uploaded it to Minimax H3 with my song chopped to 15 seconds blocks (maxfusion MCP did everything).
B roll - I decided on a story for the clip that reflects the idea of the ad. This was not much done with AI. I said let's do a creative strategist that is lulled into buying an unlimited plan for seedance, ends up getting fired, chased by goons debt collectors, escapes to maxfusion finishes his project and throws the unlimited plan contract in the trash.
4. Rendering the A roll - straight forward combination of the minimax H3 prompting skill and rendered in 15 seconds blocks the music video + the singer contact sheet.
5. B roll - first I created a shot board in one image. it was a 12 shots panel which make up the story. cleaned it up from any slop (there was a lot of bad visuals in it that ended up generating unusable clips).
Once the A roll and B roll were both ready. I let Claude edit the whole clip explaining to it that we want a dynamic edits that focuses on the beats and lyrics. explained that any shot that stays too long on the screen is boring but editing needs to make sense with the beat and not be randomised by seconds duration.
6. I needed a few rounds to basically give claude the timestamps of what went wrong with an explanation what I expected to see different. until the edit was over.
PRO TIP FOR VISUAL STYLE + MUSIC
Be a gambler! spin the slot machine!
In both cases of the art style and the song I didn't know what would sound or look best. instead of trying to perfect it I bombed Claude with 7 art references and asked it to come up with 6 different rap styles and I let it generate the songs (SUNO) and the shot boards (GPT2)
Then I chose the winners
