AI Lets Solo Marketers Create Story-Driven Content in 3 Steps
AI tools now let solo game marketers produce story-driven ads without big teams or technical skills. With just three steps – story, image, video – you can go from concept to cinematic content.
Here’s how.
Step 1: Story with Claude
Use Claude (Anthropic) to generate a short ad narrative.
Prompt to copy:
“Write a short trailer scene for a fantasy RPG. A lone knight enters a glowing forest at night, facing a massive dragon. Keep it cinematic, dramatic, and under 5 sentences. End with a cliffhanger tagline.”
Claude will output a vivid scene. Refine by asking: “Make it darker and add dialogue from the knight.” Save the text as your script.
Step 2: Visual with Nano Banana
Turn the story into an image with Nano Banana (Google DeepMind’s image model, available via Gemini or apps like Imogen).
Prompt to copy:
“Cinematic illustration of a knight in shining armor, glowing sword raised, standing in a misty enchanted forest under moonlight. A towering dragon with glowing red eyes looms in the background. Highly detailed, dramatic lighting, 16:9.”
Nano Banana will generate artwork. If needed, edit: “Add blue magical sparks around the sword” or “Make the dragon closer to the camera.” Download your best image.
Step 3: Animate with Veo 3
Animate your scene with Google Veo 3 (available on platforms like Kie.ai).
Prompt to copy:
“The knight raises his glowing sword as the dragon swoops down through the misty forest. Camera pans upward, cinematic slow motion, epic orchestral soundtrack, thunderous dragon roar.”
Upload your Nano Banana image as the first frame or reference. Veo 3 will produce a 5–10s video clip. Preview and regenerate if needed. Download the final video for use as an ad or teaser.
Step 4: All-in-One Options
Kie.ai: Combines Claude, Nano Banana, Veo 3, Runway, Kling, and more into a single dashboard. Ideal for experimenting with multiple models.
MovieFlo.AI: Offers a guided AI filmmaking pipeline, including story co-pilot, character designer, storyboard, and final video generation. Perfect for end-to-end beginners.
Why This Workflow Works
By chaining Claude for story, Nano Banana for visuals, and Veo 3 for motion, you can create professional, story-driven ads in hours. Copy the prompts above, paste them into the tools, and you’ll have your first AI-generated video ad. Platforms like Kie.ai and MovieFlo.AI make it even simpler by unifying everything in one place.
