long ago in the heart of medieval England there lay Sherwood Forest a place of towering ancient trees dappled sunlight and secrets whispered by the wind this was the home of the legendary Outlaw Robin Hood who fought for justice with a merry band of loyal companions among the Shadows of the forest a figure emerged with a bow in hand a feathered cap and a mischievous grin Robin Hood was as much a hero have you ever wondered how to create these types of simple stories with consistent characters well in today's video I'm going to show you how
to make a viral monetizable 3D film like this using AI the best part the character stay consistent and maintain the same look throughout the entire video but Robin Hood would not stand by idly with a twang of his bow string and the cleverness of his band he planned an ambush to reclaim the stolen gold and return it to the people Robin and his Outlaws strike swiftly overwhelming the sheriff's soldiers in a fierce Forest battle Arrows fly swords clash and the soldiers are caught off guard scrambling to defend themselves with the soldiers defeated Robin and his
band stand Victorious collecting the gold their mission is complete this video was created using completely free AI tools first we'll write the script next we'll create images for each scene followed by animating those images finally we'll focus on the most important step editing the final video to make it feel like a a short film by adding sound effects and animations so watch until the end to see how it all comes together to get started we need high quality images that match the characters in our story this is where prompts come in prompts are simple instructions
that tell the AI what to create however writing prompts can be tricky and timeconsuming that's why I've created three ready to use prompts that let you create a complete story with just three clicks you can find these prompts in the prompt section of our Discord server now let me show you how to use these prompts first go to chat GPT and paste the first prompt this is called the story prompt and it helps you create a story script now what you have to do is remove this part and type whatever story you want to create
for example I write here my story titled the Robin Hood also here write any image style you want it helps us to create images that we actually want once you've entered the prompt hit enter and then chat GPT will generate a Robin Hood story script with narrations and prompts for each scene each scene will have an IM prompt that tells the AI what kind of image to generate sometimes the AI might not create consistent characters across different scenes to fix this you'll need to add detailed descriptions for your characters to make this process simple and
clear I've created another two prompts specifically for this step first copy the first prompt under the character prompt with this prompt we'll ask Chad GPT to identify all the characters in The Script and list how many scenes they appear in Once chat GPT provides this information you'll need to focus on characters that appear more than two times as maintaining their consistency is key to making your video look professional for example in this story the main character is Robin Hood he is featured in almost every scene in our story so we need to ensure his appearance
stays consistent throughout the story however if a character only appears once there's no need to write a detailed description for them writing detailed descriptions for each character manually can be timeconsuming and stressful that's why I've created another prompt for you simply copy the second prompt under the character prompt paste it into chat GPT and hit create chat GPT will then generate detailed descriptions for each character including their age hairstyle clothing and facial expressions suitable for every scene they appear in after chat GPT generates the character details the next step is preparing the final image prompts
start by copying the image prompt for the first scene into a Word document then find the character names mentioned in that scene's image prompt once you've identified the characters return to chat GPT copy the character details relevant to the first scene and replace any existing character details in the image prompt with these updated ones remember you only need to include the character description the first time they appear in each scene repeat this process for all the image prompts and characters in your story once all the image prompts have been updated with the appropriate character details
you'll be ready to generate your images to generate your images I recommend using Advanced image generators like Leonardo a a or Zen AI both tools are great but for this tutorial I used Zen AI because it's fast produces high quality results and offers a variety of image styles to suit your needs first click the link in the description to create an account on design AI after logging in navigate to the text to image section paste your image prompt into the text box provided then click on the choose style option to select an image style Zen
AI offers a range of styles so head to the the 3D section and pick the animation style you prefer for this video I selected tune portrait but feel free to experiment with other styles to find the one that suits your project best if you upgrade to the Creator plan you'll get 3,000 credits per month for just $20 each image generation costs only four credits meaning you can generate up to 750 images Zen AI is one of the most cost effective and underrated AI tools currently available once you've chosen a style adjust the aspect ratio to
16 to9 for a YouTube friendly format after everything is set click generate to create your images Zen AI typically completes the process in just 20 to 30 seconds making it faster than many other image generators once done you'll be able to view highquality visually stunning results repeat this process to create all the images for your scenes for each scene I suggest generating the images two or three times to maintain character consistency and adjust for the video's length here are the results the results are truly stunning with colorful and highquality images next step we will animate
these images once you have all your images ready it's time to turn them into a video for this we'll use Minimax AI also called hyu AI start by searching for Hyo AI on Google and clicking the first link log in using your Google account while it used to be free it now has paid plans but the free plan still lets you create three videos per day next go to the image to video section here you'll need to upload your image and write a short description to tell the AI what should happen in the video to
make it easy I created another prompt to help you write these descriptions The Prompt will include details like camera movements and actions to match the story script here's how to use it copy the image to video prompt from our Discord server paste it into chat GPT and click create chat GPT will provide a short description for every scene in your story now take the description for the first scene paste it into the Halo AI text box and upload your image click create and Halo AI will generate the video for that scene in just 3 to
5 minutes repeat this step for all the images in Your Story Once the videos are ready you'll see how smooth and consistent the animations look compared to other tools this ensures your final video has highquality visuals and a professional feel now it's time to add a voice over for this we use 11 Labs which creates natural and realistic narrations copy the narration part of your script from chat GPT and paste pasted into 11 Labs choose a voice that matches your story's tone like one suited for a children's story and generate the audio 11 Labs will
combine all the narration into a single file ready to use in your video before we move on to the most important and final step make sure to join our Telegram and Discord communities it's a great place to connect with other creators share ideas and get support once your videos and voiceover are ready the final step is editing everything together for this we'll use cap cut a user-friendly video editing tool start by opening cap cut and importing your video clips and narration arrange the video clips in the correct order to match the voiceover if the narration
is shorter than the video you can trim parts of the video to fit if the narration is longer you can either create additional video clips or slow down the existing Clips to ensure everything aligns perfectly once the video and narration are synced it's time to add a title to the start of your video to do this go to the text section and click on text template browse through the available templates and choose one that suits your video drag it onto the timeline and edit the template from the right hand panel for example replace the default
text with your title like the Robin Hood you can also use the scale option to adjust the size of the text to fit your design to improve the overall flow of your video add transitions between scenes go to the transitions Tab and select a transition style place it between Clips but only at the end of each scene not between every single clip to maintain a smooth and professional look now to make your video even better we'll add sound effects and background music cap cut has a library of free sound effects or you can find non-copyrighted
music on YouTube to make your video more engaging adding these will help bring your video to life here's how to do it go to the audio Tab and click on sound effects for the first scene you can see it's a forest so you can type forest in the search bar you'll see several options pick one that matches your scene and drag it into the Timeline under that clip next look at the second clip there's a camera movement so you can add a zoom sound for a more Dynamic effect search for Zoom choose a sound you
like and add it to the timeline for the next scene it's a village so search for Village related sounds like birds chatter or Distant Bells add these to match the scene perfectly do this for all your Clips make sure each scene has sound effects that match its visuals adding sound for each action or movement keeps the video interesting and ensures viewers stay engaged after you've added sound effects and music it's time to export your video Here's the final result long ago in the heart of medieval England there lay Sherwood Forest a place of towering ancient
trees dappled sunlight and secrets whispered by the wind this was the home of the legendary Outlaw Robin Hood who fought for justice with a merry band of loyal companions among the Shadows of the forest a figure emerged with a bow in hand a feathered cap and a mischievous grin Robin Hood was as much a hero as a thorn in the side of the greedy Sheriff of Nottingham deep within the shadows of a ruined Chapel Robin Hood met his secret Ally ma Marian together they plotted against the sheriff exchanging Whispers of rebellion and courage meanwhile in
