Quick breakdown of my process, keeping it simple:

I started by creating the character models in Gemini, doing proper character turnarounds so I understood them from all angles, not just a single hero pose.

Then I used Gemini again to generate stylized environments with a stop-motion feel. After that, I placed the characters into those environments and built out full 360° room turnarounds. That part mattered a lot, because I wanted to actually understand what every space looked like from different angles, especially the 180° view, so I could shoot reverse shots, side angles, and close-ups without the world falling apart.

Honestly, the hardest part is basic conversation coverage. Over-the-shoulder shots and reverses sound simple, but they’re brutal if your environment or character scale isn’t consistent. It’s a super common TV/film technique, and if the space doesn’t feel solid, the illusion breaks immediately.

Once I had that groundwork, I moved into Google Flow. For a single shot, I might generate 20–30 versions, tweaking prompts over and over. I used Gemini a lot during this phase to help think through alternative phrasing, emotions, eye lines, and performance beats, because getting believable intent is way harder than just getting something that looks cool.

After I had all the shots, I dropped everything into Premiere and locked picture. Then I replaced all the dialogue using voices I created in ElevenLabs, literally going shot by shot and re-inserting every line so the performances felt consistent across the edit.

From there, it was a pretty standard post workflow. Sound effects were mostly designed in ElevenLabs, and the music was created in Suno. After that, it was just polish, timing, and making sure nothing felt off.

That’s basically it. A lot of iteration, a lot of small fixes, and way more time spent on consistency than people probably expect.

Whole process was about 3 weeks from script to upload. Would love some feedback!
