Hey Diddle, Diddle
Here's the video I made using VideoExpress.
I decided to compare audio output using CloneVoice for one version and Suno for another.
My Prompts for the video included the following:
Cat & the Fiddle original prompt:
The Disney-style cat is playing a fiddle with enthusiasm in a field populated with flowers and butterflies. The scene is lit by bright daylight. The camera angle is wide to give the feel of a lively scene as it circles the cat, who is the centre of attention. Flowers bop and sway in time to the cat's play. Butterflies flutter gently in the air.
This got enhanced by VideoExpress to: Enhanced:
Disney-style animation, an orange tabby cat standing upright in a flower-filled meadow, enthusiastically playing a violin. The cat sways gently while moving the bow across the strings, tail swishing back and forth. Butterflies flutter around the cat, wings moving gracefully. Flowers sway softly in a gentle breeze, petals shimmering in the bright daylight. Background shows soft green trees under a blue sky with fluffy clouds. The camera slowly circles the cat, focusing on its joyful expression and lively movements. Bright, cheerful colours.
When I compared the two videos, the enhanced prompt saw the cat bouncing a little more than my original prompt had, so it won.
Cow jumping over the moon, Original:
The scene begins with just the moon hanging in the sky. Clouds slowly drift. Then, a cow leaps into the scene as it jumps over the moon, kicking up a sparkly trail as it swims across the scene.
Enhanced: Anime-style animation, a black and white cow joyfully leaping over a large crescent moon in a starry night sky, leaving a sparkling golden trail behind. The cow kicks its legs and wags its tail. Stars twinkle softly, and fluffy white clouds drift lazily across the bottom of the frame. The moon glows with a warm, inviting light, and the cow wears a cheerful expression. The cow's udders swing slightly as it jumps. The camera follows the cow's trajectory with a gentle pan.
Neither video had the cow appear on the scene as I would have liked. My original prompt won, though, as I liked the cow's motion better than the enhanced one. The only downside to the video I used was the weird animation of the moon filling up, but I figured it was ok.
Dog laughing, Original:
The camera pans upwards, tracking the dog as it rolls on the floor in delight, laughing uncontrollably. Pink petals gently swirl across the camera, and a slight breeze ruffles the grass in the foreground.
I didn't bother enhancing this prompt. The result I got is ok, though it does look like the dog is moving sideways as it laughs, which is a bit odd.
Bowl, Original:
The camera zooms out as the dish runs toward the camera and leaps from the table. The spoon rattles and bounces within the bowl in time with the bowl's movements. The camera pulls back to track the bowl as it playfully runs across the kitchen floor.
Enhanced:
Anime-style animation, a cartoon bowl with a smiling face, sprints across a red and white checkered kitchen countertop, leaping dynamically. A silver spoon clatters inside the bowl, crumbs scattering from its path. The bowl glances toward the camera, its cartoon arms swinging. Sunlight streams through the window, dust motes dancing in the light. Background includes vintage kitchenware. The camera smoothly tracks the bowl's energetic movement, pulling back to reveal more of the kitchen. The bowl jumps off the counter, landing lightly on the floor and continuing its run. Fluid animation with bright, cheerful colors.
The enhanced prompt won this one hands down! I deleted my video as it was so far from what I wanted. The bowl took a wild leap into the air and ended up soaring across the kitchen. Not quite what I had asked for. The enhanced prompt didn't succeed in the bowl jumping off the table either, but its motion was much more natural.
There you have it - my Nursery rhyme video. Which song did you prefer?
I feel like I need more practice with video prompts.
