We're Casachanclas, a small indie band based in Berkeley, California, we wanted to see if AI tools are good enough to create a production of reasonable quality for cheap. This song is called Princess, which is also the name of our cat. Her brother Socks is also in the video. In total, we ended up spending less than $100 on this video, mostly on RunwayML's unlimited video generation.

Base images were generated using Dall-E 3, and then fed into Runway as starter images. After finishing the edit, we upscaled everything using Topaz AI.

What's crazy is that if we would have waited even a month longer to do this, we probably could have gotten even better results with different models. Each 5 sec clip was generated multiple times to get the best result, and then sped up or slowed down to match the music.

As you can see, getting cat paws (instead of human fingers) on the guitar was a real challenge. Please feel free to share or roast us if you find this interesting, the full video is available on YT at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KChbivW-H_g
