A viewer might ask to place a paper bird on a cloud-traveling train, in a night market, or inside an illustrated library. Since these ideas are unpredictable, brands cannot pre-create every possible video.
This is a use of generative video that goes beyond making an existing production process faster. With AI VIdeo, A creative team can combine viewers’ descriptions with approved visual references to generate new scenes while keeping the brand’s visual identity consistent.
Give People a World They Can Add To
A stationery brand invites customers to suggest where its paper-bird mascot should go next. The team selects suitable ideas and turns them into short campaign videos.
The bird must retain its recognisable shape and colours, with each video featuring one clear action and ending. Viewers can choose the setting and action but cannot alter the mascot or invent product claims.
Unlike pre-filmed endings, this approach lets audiences suggest entirely new scenes.
Turn a Suggestion Into a Shot Brief
A viewer’s idea needs structure before generation. “A train through the clouds” can become three beats:
- The bird sits beside a train window.
- Clouds pass as the train enters an imagined sky landscape.
- The bird looks toward its next destination.
The team uses approved mascot artwork and prompts to guide the action and camera. Any submitted sketches or photos require suitability checks and appropriate permission.
The goal is to direct generation, not publish whatever the tool produces.
Keep the Character Stable While the World Changes
The bird should remain recognisable while its surroundings change. Use the same character reference and preserve key features, including its beak, wings, colours, and movements. Vary the setting, action, lighting, and camera angle while maintaining these rules.
Review clips together for character consistency, clear action, and alignment with the contributor’s idea. Revise any clip that fails these checks.
Add logos and text during editing to ensure accuracy. Let AI generate the imaginative scenes, not packaging or promotional claims.
Make Participation Worthwhile
Explain how ideas will be selected, credited, and published. Review submissions for suitability, permissions, and potential issues before generation. A small, curated series is better than a large gallery of inconsistent clips.
Measure Participation Alongside Views
Track usable submissions, idea variety, repeat visits, shares, and comments. These reveal whether people understand the invitation and want to participate, though they do not prove sales impact.
Let the Audience Supply What the Brand Could Not Predict
AI turns unpredictable audience ideas into videos using approved visual references. People still direct the process by setting boundaries, selecting ideas, reviewing clips, and approving publication. The value lies in turning a viewer’s imagination into a scene they can actually see.
