I wanted to create a dynamic car chase using AI video.
So I used the free version of Grok for 99% of it, and only jumped into Kling for a few specific shots.
The workflow was the same as always:
* Start with a strong idea.
* Render characters and props from every angle. Build a proper style sheet.
* Do the same for the environments.
* Use Grok to combine the assets and generate a solid still for each shot.
* Animate using detailed prompts.
* Edit everything together.
* Create the missing shots you didn’t realize you needed.
* Add sound effects and music.
Punctuation in the audio prompts is crucial … it brings the edit to life and controls rhythm, pacing, and impact.
This test was completed in under 24 hours.
And it’s not lost on me that, with a strong idea and a clear plan, you could assemble a first cut of a feature length film in about 45 days.
That’s wild.

Less than 24 hours.. and not working on it non stop.
If I was serious..I’d have used a paid generator to get the cars and backgrounds photorealistic..and have the reference images be more photo real to get rid of that plastic animation look they have.
And then I’d edit in my avid media composer for a precision cut. And punctuate the music a bit more.
But it’s great to sketch ideas..and the workflow is virtually the same.
The free stuff is great for testing and experimenting with the medium.
