This was requested, and it’s pretty simple.
Start with a Still Image: For this example, I used ChatGPT to design the prompt:
"Design a DALL-E-style prompt of an innocent girl who is secretly a vampire, giving her a Victorian look."
ChatGPT suggested:
"A high-resolution, close-up portrait of a young woman in her early twenties with a soft, innocent expression, exuding a sense of Victorian elegance. She has fair, porcelain skin and wide, doe-like eyes that sparkle with a hint of mystery. Her lips are painted a gentle rose shade, slightly parted to reveal the faintest glimpse of sharp, delicate fangs, hinting at her hidden vampiric nature. Her dark, wavy hair is styled in an elegant Victorian updo adorned with a lace ribbon. She wears a vintage, high-collared dress with intricate lace details and a cameo brooch at her neck, evoking both innocence and old-world charm. The background is dimly lit, with shadows that seem to subtly encroach, adding an eerie, gothic atmosphere to the scene. Soft, diffused lighting highlights her delicate features, casting a gentle glow over her pale complexion, giving her an ethereal, haunting beauty that feels both inviting and unsettling."
I added more descriptive details at the end, and using Flux in Forge, I created this image (using Forge Realistic with distilled CFG 2): Image Link.
Create the Video:
(Edit: You can use Hailuoai on Civitai now) Go to hailuoai.video (imo currently the best for img2video). After signing up, you’ll get 3 days of unlimited creations, though you’ll be in a queue and have a watermark unless you pay $10USD for a month’s access.
Drag in your still image, then add a prompt for the transformation. For the vampire effect, I used:
"a lady that turns into a vampire while giving a sinister evil smile , ominous, dark background."
You may need a few attempts to get the desired effect.
Experiment with Emotions and Effects: The tool allows you to create different emotions like anger or sadness. However, it works best with photorealistic, close-up images. Don’t try to transform the image too dramatically; otherwise, it may simply switch to a new, unrelated image.
Unfortunately, I can’t post the rejected versions here, as articles don’t accept videos.
