🧩 How it works

User Form Submission
Kicks off the workflow with the required inputs.

Format Inputs
Combines all 4 countries/animals into a single array.

GPT-4: Generate Visual Prompts
Uses GPT-4 to create rich cinematic descriptions per animal/country.

Dumpling AI: Create Images
Each description becomes a high-quality visual.

GPT-4: Create Motion Prompts
Each image prompt is rewritten into motion-based video prompts.

Replicate: Animate
Prompts and images are sent to Replicate’s model for animation.

GPT-4: Generate Sound Prompt
Based on the style, GPT-4 creates an ambient sound idea.

ElevenLabs: Create Ambient Audio
Audio is generated and uploaded to Google Drive.

Creatomate: Stitch All Media
