Creating Videos with Artificial Intelligence: The Art of Asking the Right Way

Can you imagine creating a spectacular video without a camera, actors, locations, or a production crew… just you, a laptop, and a good idea?

Welcome to the new era of AI-powered video creation!

But before you assume it’s all automatic, here’s the truth:

AI is only as good as the prompt you give it.

Yep, just like in life: if you don’t know how to ask, you won’t get what you want.

Today, I’m breaking down how this new world works, which tools you can use, and most importantly—why the real secret isn’t the technology, it’s your creativity and how clearly you describe what you want.

What Is an AI-Generated Video?

An AI-generated video is one created (fully or partially) using algorithms—no cameras, no actors, no physical setups required.

AI tools today can:

• Animate static images

• Generate full scenes from text

• Create human faces that don’t exist

• Sync lips and voice in any language

• Turn simple text into powerful visual narratives

And yes—you can do it without any editing or video production experience.

🧰 Tools That Are Changing the Game

There are several platforms for creating videos with AI, each with its own specialty. Here are some of the most popular:

🔹 Runway ML

A fan favorite. It lets you generate videos from text, remove backgrounds, apply VFX, and create cinematic edits that used to cost thousands.

🔹 Pika Labs

Generates short clips based on detailed text prompts. You can write something like:

"A futuristic city in 3050, at night, with flying cars and neon lights"

And it creates the video for you in seconds.

🔹 Synthesia

Perfect for corporate, educational, or training videos with ultra-realistic avatars that speak multiple languages.

🔹 HeyGen

Ideal for marketing and pitch content. Clone your voice, or choose a presenter that speaks your text with perfect lip-sync.

🔹 D-ID

Great for animating static faces with realistic expressions—just upload an image and a script, and watch it come to life.

🧠 So… What’s the Real Secret to Good AI Videos?

Here’s the key takeaway of this blog:

Having access to powerful tools doesn’t guarantee your video will turn out great. In fact, many people get frustrated with AI results because:

They don’t know how to ask.

And when it comes to AI, “asking right” means:

✨ Writing Great Prompts.

A prompt is the instruction you give the AI to generate something.

It’s like asking a genie. If you say:

“Make a cool video,”

You’ll get whatever it thinks is “cool”—which may be very different from what you imagined.

But if you say:

“Create a 6-second cinematic video in slow motion of a woman running through a lavender field at sunset, with warm lighting, soft focus, and a tight waist-up camera angle, backed by gentle instrumental music”…

The result will be 100x closer to what you want. The difference? Specificity.

📝 How to Write a Great Video Prompt

Here’s a basic structure you can follow:

🧾 1. What Happens in the Scene?

Be clear. What’s actually happening? Is there a person? An object? A landscape? A cat?

Example:

"A cat jumping onto a couch and curling up to sleep."

🎬 2. Visual Style

Do you want it to look realistic, animated, surreal, painted?

“In Pixar-style animation”

“In ultra-realistic cinematic quality”

“Like a watercolor painting”

💡 3. Lighting

Lighting changes the entire mood. Is it day or night? Warm or cool tones? Indoors or outdoors?

“Golden hour sunlight with soft shadows”

“Night scene with neon lights”

🎥 4. Camera Angle and Movement

Close-up? Bird’s-eye view? Tracking shot? Slow motion?

“Overhead drone shot”

“Close-up with slow zoom-in”

🎶 5. Audio (if applicable)

Some AI platforms let you add music or narration. Be specific.

“Background: soft ambient piano music”

“Voiceover in a calm female voice, English accent”

🧪 6. Duration, Format, and Extra Notes

While AI still has limitations on timing, saying “short clip” or “6-second loop” gives it direction.

Common Mistakes When Prompting Video AIs

❌ Being Too Vague

Asking for “something epic” doesn’t mean anything to the AI. It needs specific elements.

❌ Thinking Like a Human, Not a System

Don’t say: “Do it like a Tarantino scene with suspense vibes.”

Instead, describe what that looks like: camera angles, colors, environment, emotions.

❌ Not Reviewing the Output

AI can be impressive—but not perfect. Always check for weird glitches, physics errors, or things that don’t make sense.

🎯 What Projects Are Perfect for AI Video Creation?

AI video tools are perfect for:

• Visual prototypes

• Concept videos

• High-impact social content

• Campaign storytelling

• Pitch decks or brand teasers

• Animations on a budget

• Educational explainers

• YouTube intros

• Ad creatives without filming

Every day, more creators and brands skip the traditional production route thanks to AI.

⚖️ Will AI Replace Filmmakers?

No—and yes.

AI won’t replace human talent, but it democratizes creativity. What used to take a massive studio can now be done by a single creator with a laptop.

Does that mean editors, directors, or screenwriters are obsolete? Not at all. It means you can now compete with the big leagues, even if you're just starting out.

🔮 The Future Is Here (and It’s in 4K)

Want to launch a product video? Got a visual story in your head but don’t know how to edit? Want to bring a fictional character to life?

AI is here to help.

But if you don’t learn how to ask clearly, your results will disappoint. The real power doesn’t come from the tool—it comes from how well you express your vision.

Prompt Examples That Work

1. Brand animation:

“A slow motion video of a drop of water falling into a crystal glass with a golden logo floating inside, cinematic lighting, ultra-HD, ambient soundtrack.”

1. Social media content:

“A 5-second loop of a dog wearing sunglasses driving a convertible down a desert highway, sunny day, cartoon style.”

1. Visual mood for campaign:

“A woman in a red dress walking through a futuristic Tokyo street at night, with neon lights reflecting off puddles, Blade Runner vibe, steady cam shot.”

Creating videos with artificial intelligence isn’t just about clicking a button. It’s about learning a new creative language.

And the most important word in that language?

Prompt.

The better you are at describing your vision, the closer the result will match it. The more specific you are, the more magic you’ll unlock.

So don’t be afraid to experiment, write, revise, and try again. You’re entering a world where your ideas can come to life in minutes.

And it all starts with one simple question:

Do you know how to ask for what you want to see?
