How to Use Midjourney, Canva and Kling AI for Consistent 2 Character Movie Scenes Advance Course

Introduction

Creating intricate scenes for video films can be quite challenging, especially when trying to have multiple characters interact in a coherent setting. This article will guide you through a creative workaround using three powerful tools: Midjourney, Canva, and Kling AI. These tools can help you produce consistent two-character scenes, even for complex shots like over-the-shoulder perspectives.

Step 1: Gathering Your Assets

To begin, you need to acquire images of your characters. For our example, let’s assume we’re working on a scene involving characters Jacob and Roxy from the movie "Starbound." We'll use Midjourney to generate these images.

1. Create Images with Midjourney

Midjourney is an AI tool that allows you to create stunning images based on prompts. Let’s generate:

An over-the-shoulder shot of Jacob.
A shot of Roxy.

Once you're satisfied with the images generated by Midjourney, download them to your computer.

Step 2: Utilizing Canva for Composition

Canva is an easily accessible design platform that helps create and manipulate images for video scenes.

2. Setting Up Your Canva Project

Sign up for Canva if you haven’t already (link in the description).
Type "video" in the search bar to find various video templates.
Choose a 1920x1080 blank video template for your composition.

3. Upload Your Images

Next, upload the two images you've downloaded earlier. You will begin by removing the background of Jacob's image to achieve a clean over-the-shoulder look:

Select the image of Jacob and use "BG Remover" to eliminate the background.
If there are unwanted reflections or outlines left, use the "Magic Studio" option to refine the image further. With the "Magic Eraser," select areas you want to remove until you are left with just Jacob.

4. Positioning the Characters

Adjust Jacob's image to create the desired over-the-shoulder effect.
Now, upload Roxy’s image and position her accordingly. Utilize the layers option to ensure she appears behind Jacob’s shoulder.
Resize and adjust both character images as needed.

5. Expanding the Background

If your image is missing some background, utilize Canva’s "Magic Expand" feature. This allows the AI to predict how to extend the image while seamlessly integrating it into the overall scene.

6. Final Adjustments

Once you have both characters positioned correctly and their images adjusted, download the final composition in high quality (using a JPEG format).

Step 3: Enhancing with Kling AI

Now that you have a solid image, it's time to bring it to life with Kling AI.

7. Uploading to Kling AI

Go to Kling AI and initiate the "Image to Video" feature.
Upload your compiled over-the-shoulder shot of Jacob and Roxy.
Choose between Kling AI 1.0 (for extended videos) or 1.5 (for higher quality but with restrictions on extension).

8. Rendering the Video

Select the desired length (up to 5 seconds for 1.5, but longer with 1.0). Click to render your scene. As the AI processes the image, it enhances motion and realism, resulting in a compelling video clip.

9. Extending and Directing the Clip

After completing the rendering:

Take advantage of Kling AI's ability to extend the video if you used version 1.0.
Use the custom directing options to add specific actions (like hugging or touching) between the characters to achieve the emotional depth desired for your scene.

Conclusion

By combining the powers of Midjourney, Canva, and Kling AI, you can effectively create rich, dynamic scenes that feature multiple characters. This approach not only saves time but also enhances the storytelling aspect of your video productions.
