SPEC MUSIC VIDEO FOR A$AP ROCKY - HIJACK

Everything in this 30 music video was made from scratch using generative AI tools and After Effects.

I used Midjourney and Flux to create stills with character reference for A$AP Rocky. I then face-swapped the stills to achieve the highest realism. After preparing the face-swapped final stills, I animated them with MiniMax, Kling, Dream Machine and Runway.

I used several lipsync tools such as Kling, Hedra and LivePortrait to create more emphasis on the chorus.

Finally, edited and polished in After Effects.

I always aim to create content that is indistinguishable from reality and isn’t bound by the visual or technical limitations of AI. Despite the misconception that the editing and creative direction is also controlled by AI, it’s important to understand that generative AI is a creative tool to create visuals and videos that would otherwise be impossible. However, the quality, the vision, and the storytelling come from my expertise as an editor and creative director.
