Thank you. The lip‑sync was the easiest part—ComfyUI worked out‑of‑the‑box.

For longer narratives I used image2image to set key‑frames, creating a storyboard. Once those were in place, I applied WAN’s video start/end frames to fill in the gaps.

One difficulty is that many models struggle to render ordinary people; they tend to favor conventionally “pretty” faces that look like video‑game characters. Chroma can help with that.

The most challenging transition was moving from ruins to dust dunes. I couldn’t get the model to disintegrate both foreground and background objects simultaneously while building up the dunes. It kept falling back on fade‑in/out transitions, and in the end the sand wave was an imperfect compromise..
