1. General Tips for AI Video Creation

FramePop AI helps bring your vision to life by generating multiple scenes based on your input. To create a video, you'll provide a Creative Direction—a brief description of how you want your video to look and feel.

Our platform uses your Creative Direction to craft the perfect video by focusing on three key elements:

1. Mood – The overall emotion or atmosphere of the video.
2. Theme – The central idea or subject matter.
3. Style – The visual and artistic approach that shapes the video's look.

By clearly defining these three elements, you’ll ensure that Framepop AI creates a video that aligns perfectly with your creative vision.

To achieve the best results:

• Keep your descriptions simple yet detailed.
• Focus on the 3 main elements: Mood, Theme, and Style.

2. The 3 Main Elements Explained

Mood: The mood sets the tone for your video. It can include combinations of:

• Lighting:
  • Warm, golden hues (evoke coziness or nostalgia).
  • Cold, stark lighting (creates tension or isolation).
• Color Palette:
  • Vibrant, saturated colors (suggest energy and excitement).
  • Muted, pastel tones (convey calmness or melancholy).
• Pacing:
  • Slow, deliberate pacing (evokes thoughtfulness or tension).
  • Fast, dynamic pacing (generates excitement or urgency).
• Imagery/Setting:
  • Lush, natural landscapes (suggest peace or freedom).
  • Urban, gritty environments (convey chaos or struggle).

Theme: The theme sets the stage for your content and aligns with your project’s creative vision. Be as creative you want. Examples include:

• Retro Futurism
• Cyberpunk Neon
• Science Fiction
• Minimalist Elegance
• Organic Nature
• Post-Apocalyptic Decay
• Dreamy Surrealism
• Vintage Nostalgia
• Sci-Fi Exploration
• Fantasy Adventure
• Urban Grit
• Ethereal Fantasy
• Industrial Brutalism

Style: The style defines the overall look and feel of your video. AI can emulate various artistic and technical styles, such as:

• Cinematic: High-quality, film-like visuals with dramatic lighting.
• 8mm Film: Grainy, vintage home-movie aesthetic.
• In the Style of Picasso: Abstract, cubist visuals with bold colors.
• Cyberpunk: Neon-lit, futuristic urban environments.
• Watercolor Painting: Soft, flowing textures and pastel hues.
• Anime: Vibrant, stylized animation with dynamic action.
• Steampunk: Victorian-era machinery and industrial aesthetics.
• Minimalist: Clean, simple visuals with geometric shapes.
• Surrealism: Dreamlike, illogical scenes.
• Black and White Noir: High-contrast monochrome visuals.
• Oil Painting: Rich, textured brushstroke details.
• Holographic: Futuristic, translucent, shimmering effects.
• Vaporwave: Retro-futuristic aesthetics with glitch effects.
• Graffiti Street Art: Urban, edgy visuals with bold colors.

3. Example Creative Direction

Here are some examples of how to structure your creative direction using the 3 main elements:

Example 1:

• Mood: Futuristic and sleek
• Theme: Cyberpunk Neon
• Style: Holographic
• Creative Direction: "A futuristic cityscape at night, illuminated by glowing neon signs and holographic advertisements floating in the air. The scene is dominated by sharp, geometric shapes and metallic surfaces, with a shimmering, iridescent glow creating a high-tech, otherworldly atmosphere."
• Video Result:

Example 2:

• Mood: Ethereal and serene
• Theme: Organic Nature
• Style: Watercolor Painting
• Prompt: "A tranquil forest scene, with soft watercolor-like textures blending the greens of the trees and the grays of the sky. Droplets glisten on leaves, and a faint mist rises from the ground, creating a dreamy, peaceful atmosphere."
• Video Result:

4. Including People in AI-Generated Videos

AI can create lifelike people, animals, and creatures, but it’s important to note:

• We do not allow the creation of deepfake videos or likenesses without explicit approval.
• AI is still perfecting the symmetry and motion of living beings, so results may contain anomalies.

Tips for Describing People and Animals

• Less is more: Fewer people or animals result in cleaner, more focused visuals.
• Focus on striking details to evoke a clear image without overwhelming the scene.

Examples:

• Single Person: A lone woman with wavy auburn hair, wearing a flowing beige dress, stands at the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean.‍
• Single Animal: A gray wolf with silver-tipped fur

Example Prompts with Minimalist Descriptions:

• "A lone woman with wavy auburn hair, wearing a flowing beige dress, stands at the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean. Beside her, a gray wolf with silver-tipped fur sits calmly, its gaze fixed on the horizon. The scene is bathed in the soft light of sunset, with no other elements to distract from the quiet connection between the two."‍
• Video Result:
• “A close-up of a couple driving in a vintage convertible, the wind tousling their hair—a man in a leather jacket and a woman in a polka-dot scarf cruising down a sunlit country road, with golden fields blurring in the background, all rendered in grainy 8mm film for a nostalgic vibe.”
• Video Result:

Why Less is More

• Focus: A single subject allows viewers to connect deeply, creating a stronger emotional impact.
• Clarity: Fewer details mean cleaner visuals, avoiding clutter and distractions.
• Atmosphere: Simplicity enhances the mood, whether it’s serene, mysterious, or introspective.
