AI Avatar Creation: Video Automation Tutorial

Entertainment

Introduction

In this article, I will demonstrate how I replaced myself with an AI version to create video content. Given the demands of managing a newborn, family, and three businesses, creating video content can be overwhelming. Thankfully, current technology allows me to bypass the extensive effort of producing videos. I'll walk you through my process step-by-step.

Introduction

Video creation has always been a significant investment of time and resources. However, advancements in AI technology have made it possible to streamline this process. This tutorial will explore how to create a video avatar, its performance, and its potential applications, specifically for marketing.

The Completed AI-Generated Video

I want to start by showing you a completed AI-generated video. Note that while the video quality isn't perfect for extensive use, it works surprisingly well for shorter clips (30 seconds to a minute). I expect these AI capabilities to improve significantly over the next few years.

Example:

You are looking at the lead generation dashboard from Madison Law, an injury firm in Georgia. Last month, they received 96 phone calls, up 433% from last year. These results came from one simple change in their marketing strategy, achieved within 90 days.

My friends couldn't tell it was AI-generated, which is promising for its potential use in ads and other content.

How It's Done

We're using a platform called Haen, which allows you to create your own video avatar. The platform has certain requirements that maintain a level of exclusivity and quality. Here's how we created our video avatar:

  1. Professional Setup: We used 4K cameras, studio lighting, and a professional microphone.
  2. Recording: Filmed a video with proper lighting and sound quality.
  3. Uploading: Uploaded the footage to Haen, where the AI analyzed and created the avatar.

Detailed Steps:

  1. Recording: Capture high-quality footage (4K video, studio lighting, and professional audio).
  2. Avatar Creation: Upload the footage to Haen to generate a video avatar.
  3. Post-Editing: Add music, b-roll, and other elements to enhance the video.

Why This Approach?

Creating and editing videos is intensive, which is why this AI technology is game-changing. It allows us to produce video content rapidly and affordably, with minimal human intervention.

Here’s a specific example from our agency’s perspective: For law firms, video content is exceptionally valuable for marketing. Only a small percentage (8%) of lawyers create video content due to their busy schedules. By using AI avatars, we can streamline this process, making it both cost-effective and efficient.

Expected Client Approach

We plan to film high-quality content for our top-tier clients in multiple settings (offices, desks, different angles) to avoid visual monotony. This setup also allows for a more diverse video portfolio. We anticipate that this method will create vast amounts of content from minimal filming.

Conclusion

AI technology in video creation is a promising tool for marketers. Although the technology is not perfect yet, it offers enough potential to be integrated into specific use cases, especially for targeted marketing and client engagement.
