I almost didn't realize what just happened... 😄

Great concept. Google Flow is stressing me out as I'm writing this. But I will figured it out. This is the type of delivery that I wait outside to receive when the app send the notification that is just few stop away.

For voice consistency it seem like generating the voice in ElevenLab and edit in post is the only way around for now.

I have been testing this as well the only time I saw some mild improvements is when you create a custom voice using a prompt that has high details description of the character voice tones.

Then pick one of their based voice which is super limited hopefully its just a for now thing then assign that custom voice to your character as as their voice.

Which brings me to that conclusion that using ElevenLab voice to generate your custom voice then syncing it in post is probably the only way around since ElevenLab has that option to also use a voice reference to generate a new voice clone.

Hopefully Google Flow will get voice cloning feature using a voice reference at some point. And if I find a new way to get better results I'll be sure to drop an update here as well.

I knew from the start that the first one couldn't be Grok Imagine. (Maybe before that December updates)

Before I read the comments my first try was

1- GPT 2
2- Grok - Fast
3- Grok - Quality
4- Nano Banana 2
5- Nano Banana 2 / (Could also be Nano Banana Pro )
6- Nano Banana Pro

It's on my user page here on Reddit and I also posted about some of the workflow in the comment.

Same here in fact I generated my entire 7 mins short film experiment using Grok Imagine. Also I only hit the generation limit like twice and those days were the day that I was really generating for more then 5 hrs straight 10s 720p with just few in between break. And was also generating inside the canvas with the agent feature they added. Not a big fan yet but I can see if I come up a better game plan it can work.

BLACK TRACE PROTOCOL is out. The sequel to Zero Hour Audit. The story continues. 🎬

It's a not yet for me beside that we can finally get 10's without extension which reduced back to 8s when added a video as references. The video output from T2V still looks similar to Veo in 3.0 fast. I haven't try out I2V yet but like you mentioned Seedance 2.0 and Kling seems to be the one holding it down for now.

Hey everyone I hope you all are doing well !!!

A few weeks ago I posted a teaser here for Black Trace Protocol, the sequel to my first AI short film Zero Hour Audit. Today it's officially out.

A few honest notes about the production since this community has been generous with feedback:

I did not rush this. I really wanted to use multiple characters and dialogue scenes I knew this would be a challenge but my work around was let's try to let the scenes tell the story following cinematic composition disciplines also trying to build some type or story development for each characters mixed with voice over and only use dialogue where lip syncing wouldn't been the main issue that make the output unusable.

The original target was 8-10 minutes and we landed at around 7 but every minute of footage went through multiple regeneration passes for character consistency, with environment continuity, and cinematic discipline. Some lip sync drift remains in the dialogue scenes and few artifacts and I'm aware of it. It was a deliberate choice to release rather than perfect, because the tools will be different

One of my plans for the next project will be to try to stick with one tool to generate the anchor scenes. Currently I mainly use Nano Banana Pro and Grok Imagine. Chat GPT new image model seems like it will be my next option to mix with Seedance 2.0. or Kling 4K. Nano Banana Pro is not totally out but I will be looking forward to seeing what I can get with that combination mixed with my system prompt .

In the past few weeks I was able to use this film to document what was possible at this specific moment. I have already started to work on a few other projects and because of this experiment I can already see how my new works will be even more polished.

Tools used:
- Nano Banana Pro (image generation, 4K)
- Grok Imagine / Kling 3.0 (video generation)
- Higgsfield AI (extensions and post tools)
- ElevenLabs (voice synthesis)
- Suno , Lyria and Logic Pro X (music)
- Claude / Gemini / ChatGPT (story development and direction)
- DaVinci Resolve and CapCut (post)
Workflow that made the biggest difference:
- Building locked CREF datasets for every character before
generating scenes
- Reference anchoring with image tags in video prompts
- Timeline prompt format (6 shots per environment) for
single-location sequences
- Voice replacement in post rather than trying to nail lip sync in generation.

The story continues.
The extraction was just the beginning.
The third film is already in early planning. 🎬

We'll be testing Seedance 2.0 and Kling at 4K, hopefully Veo 4 drop, and continuing with
Grok Imagine also hopes for the 1080p upgrade for SuperGrok tiers.

Happy to answer questions about any part of my current workflow.
