AI is rapidly becoming one of the most exciting tools in creative work, and I’m amazed by what it can accomplish!
From Still Image to Video
In just a few minutes, I was able to generate these short videos using still images I had originally created with photography and Photoshop. Beyond that, AI opens the door to endless possibilities with its ability to automate edits, enhancing image quality, generate custom visuals, creating realistic voiceovers, and even assist with storyboarding and animation and more. With AI content creators are turning simple ideas into polished, professional content faster and cheaper than ever before.
Now that I’ve generated these two videos let’s see what we can do with them.
First Combine
I took each five second video and created a video that is about 10 seconds long completing the transition between my images. Watch how the model transforms into a mermaid before your eyes.
What’s next? Let’s add in some sound effects for the water.
You might be wondering what more can we do with this? Well let’s try creating a short AI song.
What Genre Style?
These were Folk and Soft Rock.
Put in the style of music you want and write your custom lyrics and in just a few moments you have a great song that you can use specifically tailored to your project.
What Style Fits?
For this video I tried many different songs, but it just wasn’t feeling right so I opted to do some calming instrumental music.
This process might seem fast, but it still takes time to get it right. AI can generate content quickly, but it doesn’t replace the creativity, judgment, and storytelling that a human content creator brings. A creator knows how to refine the message, add emotional impact, and shape content so it connects with real people and that is something AI alone can’t fully achieve.

The Making of a Model Figure Video
Step-By-Step
How was it done?
Recently, there’s been a popular trend of turning digital images into 3D-style figures using AI. Artists and creators are exploring how AI can reimagine their artwork as miniature figurines, giving still images a whole new dimension. I decided to try my own version of this trend, taking my original image and transforming it into a model figure using AI tools. After a few iterations and some fine-tuning in Photoshop to get the details just right, I brought the figure to life.
This is the original, untouched image before editing.
This image was generated with AI using a prompt to create a figurine version. After several iterations, the overall form worked, but the face did not come out accurately.
This is the image after I brought it back into Photoshop and adjusted the face to better match my model.

I reprocessed the image in AI to generate several videos, which I then edited together in Canva with added music.
Final Video
ServiceMaster AI Videos
I created this video for ServiceMaster using a mix of AI, Canva, and Photoshop.
The song began as written lyrics, which I transformed into a catchy tune using an AI music app.
In the video “Flames of Fear”, I animated one of the old marketing posters by running it through an AI app. I then brought it into Canva for further editing and added sound effects to complete the piece.
In the video “You’ll See Us Once”, I started with a photo I took of one of the company vans, removed the background in Photoshop, and saved it as a PNG. I then used an AI video app to generate clips of the van in different locations. For the final edit, I chose scenes at the beach and in outer space. I combined these videos in Canva, adding music, text, and sound effects to complete the piece.
In the video featuring the original owner from the 1980s, I animated an old photograph of Craig Healy receiving an award and paired it with an AI-generated voiceover. I then added music and finished the piece in Canva.
For the cartoon van, I started with a photo of a real company van, cut out the background to make a clean PNG, and then used AI to generate a cartoon version. I refined the result in Photoshop until it matched the look I envisioned.
The scene with the leaking roof and the man was also generated with AI. I then pulled all the pieces together in Canva to design and edit the final video.
