I’ve been experimenting with generative AI for something slightly different from coding assistants and chatbots:

Music video production.

Recently, we created an AI-assisted cinematic production for “Gokul”, a Gujarati devotional song by Birju Barot.

What looked like a straightforward task — take an existing song and generate visuals — quickly turned into a much more interesting engineering and creative consistency problem.

The biggest challenges weren’t generating individual images.

They were:

Maintaining the same human identity
Maintaining characters across scenes
Getting believable singing lip-sync
Creating visual continuity
Matching visuals with lyrical meaning
Keeping a consistent cinematic language

This article shares what we learned from that workflow.

Then continue with:

The Input → Scene Planning → Reference Images → Generation → Identity Consistency → Lip-Sync → Editing → Failures → Lessons Learned → Final Result.
