This resource provides a step-by-step tutorial for creating animated videos using a combination of ChatGPT 4o for character and scene generation and Kling AI for animation. Based on a viral Twitter thread by TechHalla, this workflow enables anyone to create professional-looking animated content without advanced design skills.

The Complete Workflow

Step 1: Create Your Characters

  • Upload a photo to ChatGPT and ask it to turn you into a 2.5D cartoon in a T-pose
  • Specify fine lines, same outfit, and a green screen background
  • Once you have your style established, request additional custom characters that match the same style

Step 2: Generate Your Scenes

  • Ask ChatGPT to create scene backgrounds in the same artistic style
  • Specify a 16:9 aspect ratio for video compatibility
  • Describe each setting in detail for the best results
  • Use Magnific AI to upscale your images for higher quality and detail

Step 3: Create Compositions

  • Ask ChatGPT to compose scenes by placing your characters within the backgrounds
  • Have it adjust elements to create the perfect composition
  • Request tweaks to settings as needed to accommodate your story

Step 4: Build Your Storyboard

  • Generate multiple still frames to tell your complete story
  • Organize these frames in sequence to serve as your animation storyboard

Step 5: Create Multiple Angles

  • For more dynamic storytelling, ask ChatGPT to create the same scene from different angles
  • Specify that spatial consistency must be maintained between frames
  • This creates a more cinematic feel to your animations

Step 6: Animate with Kling AI

  • Use Kling AI v1.6 to turn your still frames into fluid animations
  • Import your sequence of images into Kling AI
  • Add sound effects to enhance the viewer experience
