This week on AI DIY, I’m diving into some incredible AI-generated music videos that make smart use of animation. Whether you're an AI music creator looking for new ways to enhance your videos or just a fan of the medium, these featured artists showcase the different techniques you can use to elevate your work.
With the cost of image-to-video animation, putting out multiple music videos a month can be a challenge. But these creators have found innovative ways to make animation visually appealing without spending weeks on post-production. Some use video game footage, some rely on minimalist animation, and others go full-throttle with stunning visual effects. Let’s check them out.
1. Ashes of Conflict – Afterlife
Ashes of Conflict took a creative yet simple approach to animation. By leveraging in-game footage from Cyberpunk 2077, they managed to create a compelling music video that fits seamlessly with the song's aesthetic. The combination of an audio visualizer and on-screen lyrics makes it engaging without being overly complex. A great example of how you can use existing assets to craft something unique. I noticed that embed codes have been disabled by Ashes. So here's the link. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7nQqt-hqCyQ
2. SeanixVEVO – The Monster Within
Seanix consistently puts out solid work, and The Monster Within is no exception. While it may not appear to be an overly complex video at first glance, the clean visuals and well-structured pacing prove that you don’t always need flashy effects to make an impact. This is a great reminder that sometimes, less is more when it comes to video editing.
3. Dreamlarking – I Heard a Fly Buzz
This one was a no-brainer to feature because the animation is truly unique. Based on an Emily Dickinson poem, I Heard a Fly Buzz stands out in the AI music community for its originality. I haven’t had a chance to speak with Dreamlarking about the creative process behind this one, but if you want to know more, go check it out and ask questions!
4. David Litwin – Shiny
David Litwin is the mastermind behind Flair AI Radio, a platform that highlights a variety of AI musicians. Shiny is visually stunning, blending realism with animation in a way that feels seamless. If you've ever worked with animation tools, you know how difficult it is to get everything to match perfectly. The song itself is also beautiful, complementing the visuals effortlessly. Definitely worth a watch!
5. X-BlueDivision – The Golden Path
This is one of the most visually stunning AI music videos I’ve seen. The amount of effort that must have gone into The Golden Path is insane—this easily took at least a week to put together, if not more. Everything about it, from the color grading to the animation transitions, is polished to perfection. If you’re looking for inspiration on how far you can push AI-generated visuals, this is the one to watch.
Honorable Mention: ANTISXCIVL – Navjaxx
I didn’t get permission to play this one in the episode, but I still wanted to give it a shout-out. Navjaxx has an awesome animated music video that you should check out. If you’re interested, follow the link and leave a comment—maybe we can convince ANTISXCIVL to get in touch for a future feature!
Final Thoughts
AI music videos are evolving fast, and these artists prove that you don’t need a Hollywood budget to create something visually compelling. Whether it’s game footage, minimalist animation, or full-scale production, the important thing is to match the visuals with the feel of the song.
