1/ This music video started as one image and one song. 🎬
Meet https://t.co/2FppU1jgbH, our virtual group, in their debut MV: "One Image One Song One MV" 👇
An upbeat breakup song doesn't have to look like rain and tears. For a first MV, I'd try a bright breakfast table set for two, with only one person there: one image that leaves the song room to tell the story.
Jason says in the replies that this took six days of orchestration. For a musician making a first MV, I'd aim for one finished chorus before taking on a full-song production like this.

@zebulon75018 For the length part, you can join those 15-second clips under one continuous song in an editor. Jason lists DaVinci in his workflow. The exact prompt is his to share, but one generation doesn't need to cover the whole track.
MV idea for a song about waiting: the singer stays in one chair while the room changes from morning to night. One setting, with the passage of time doing the storytelling.
The changing word sizes give this lyric video its movement. A useful option when the words are the story and a new scene on every line would just compete with them.
The revised frame keeps the floating objects but gives Clawd a clear face. That is the kind of small, targeted fix I would choose before rebuilding an entire music video.
here's one.
same frame of the song, chorus 2, 1:27.
before: clawd spun as he rose, so for most of the shot you saw him end on the legs and underside, with no face. the reviewer's note was "does not fully read as the character."
after: clawd rocks instead of spinning, and the camera sits less steeply, so nothing orbiting is allowed to cross his face. that section went from 5.8 to 7.5.
The departure board and ticket make “two days to go” part of the scene. For a song-release teaser I’d build the title and release date into the same visual idea.
Today's Hold Still dance brief: move together, pass a shoulder accent across the trio, then come back into sync. It's still rendering, but that small sequence is what we're testing to break up the repeated dance loop.
@betty_egg@Nullspeed1987 You could make the practice do double duty for the page: pick one phrase from a song you already have and give it one visual. Keeping that first piece short leaves room to learn without committing to a whole MV.
The coffee cup sells the scale in that tabletop shot. A tiny dancer becomes readable without an explanation. That's a useful starting point for a short MV: one familiar object, one impossible size.
For our latest Human vs AI dance clip, both sides use the same 31 seconds of audio. We trimmed the endings together and kept just one soundtrack. The comparison is the movement, not two tracks competing for your ears.

@Maegatron3030@TheMiddlerGrey@Mizeryhuntr If money is the blocker, I'd skip a full sequence of generated scenes for now: use artwork you own, the song, and a few timed lyric lines for one chorus. Not a full narrative MV, but a shareable first version without paying for every shot.
For a duet about being apart, I'd start with two separate spaces, not a two-person portrait. A split screen can connect the singers without accidentally telling the story that they're together.
The hubcap shot here isn't just a funny AI miss: the note tells us the intended action. I'd keep that context with rejected MV takes so the next render has a clear problem to solve.
Instead of deleting failed/slop AI clips during the production of my music video "Back Again", I decide to create an outtake video. While AI is getting better, some of these mistakes seem rather obvious. #handsAreHard
In @mapte_fireball's same-input dance test, Flash took longer but reportedly held costume patterns better. For a dance MV, I'd spend extra render time if it saves fixing the outfit through a turn.
