I released Les Amours Interstellaires on Valentine's Day - a music video exploring the intersection of space travel and love, with inspiration from 80s anime aesthetics. ✨🚀 Created using AI tools including MidJourney for key visuals, Suno for audio elements, Claude for lyrical content, and primarily RunwayML/KlingAI/LumaAI for video generation. 🎬🎵 The project received more attention than expected, so I wanted to share the creative process behind it. 💫 While it required significant effort, I hope documenting my approach might inspire others in their artistic endeavors. 🌌🎨 Here's how it came together... 💖 Interstellar Love: MidJourney Prompts as Music Video Keyframes"Interstellar Love" isn’t just a story—it’s a 3-minute, 7-second (187-second) music video built from MidJourney prompts. Split into 38 five-second segments, it tracks James "Iron" Harrison and Sarah Mitchell, two souls whose romance ignites across space and beyond. Here’s how these prompts became keyframes for a cosmic love saga. CHARACTERS: VISUAL FOUNDATIONS James "Iron" Harrison—a 6’4”, 290-pound wrestling coach in his early 50s, radiating strength and charm.
Sarah Mitchell—a stunning blonde in her early 30s, blending athletic grace with futuristic flair.
Enhanced James—for bolder scenes, he gets a vibrant twist.
OPENING SEQUENCE (0:00-0:15): A COSMIC CURTAIN-RAISERThe video kicks off with a supernova, setting the stage for love’s epic scope.
COSMIC JOURNEY (0:50-1:10): LOVE DEEPENS
Their love remakes the cosmos.
Interstellar Love: A Cosmic RomanceIn the shimmering expanse of the New Shanghai Orbital Spaceport, where dreams soared among the stars, destiny unfurled its celestial threads. Time seemed to hold its breath—like the fleeting pause between stellar heartbeats—when James "Iron" Harrison’s piercing blue eyes first locked with Sarah Mitchell’s enchanting gaze. Their meeting was no ordinary encounter. In the pre-flight conditioning center, amid the hum of travelers preparing for the void, their connection sparked like comets streaking across the sky. James, a titan sculpted by decades of athletic discipline, moved with unexpected grace as he steadied a nervous passenger. His 6’4” frame and 290 pounds of muscle commanded the room, yet Sarah couldn’t look away from the gentleness that softened his imposing presence—a contradiction that pulled her in. Their first conversation unfolded like stardust catching light, each word shimmering with the promise of something deeper. At the spaceport’s floating café, where cups hovered on magnetic fields like planets in orbit, James found himself captivated by Sarah’s passion for zero-G athletics. Her blonde hair glowed like a solar corona under the artificial lights, her professional poise softened by bursts of wonder as she described her groundbreaking work in space sports. Aboard the Stellar Aurora, their bond grew beyond mere attraction. In the zero-G athletic center, James’s powerful body found new freedom. His carefully honed muscle adapted to weightlessness with a surprising poetry, guided by Sarah’s expert hand. Their training sessions became an intimate dance of trust—his weathered hands anchoring her as she demonstrated intricate zero-G maneuvers, their movements weaving a silent story of discovery. Evenings in the ship’s variable gravity ballroom painted their own constellation of moments. James, whose massive frame had once intimidated opponents on Earth, now glided with ethereal grace. Sarah felt herself drawn to the quiet strength in his touch, the faint brush of his salt-and-pepper stubble against her skin as they spun through artificial starlight. Their bodies moved in perfect sync, a harmony that transcended age and experience. In the botanical gardens, surrounded by floating spheres of exotic flora, their conversations deepened like gravity wells pulling them closer. His decades of shaping young athletes into champions complemented her visionary ideas for the future of human movement. The contrast between his mature confidence and her youthful energy spun an intoxicating orbit of its own. At Elysium Station, their connection blossomed fully amid variable gravity environments. Private moments in anti-gravity pods became sacred retreats where they could simply be—watching Earth rise like a blue gem against the velvet void. His powerful arms around her felt like home; her presence brought a weightlessness to his spirit he hadn’t known he craved. Their shared passion for athletic excellence evolved into something profound as they pioneered new zero-G sports techniques. Every touch carried meaning, every glance an unspoken vow. In the observation bubbles, rotating slowly among the stars, they crafted a love story that defied conventional forces. Echoing the French song of interstellar love—where souls meet in the air, "Nos âmes se rencontrent en l'air"—their bond transcended physical space. Kisses stolen in lunar light became promises etched across the cosmos. Time fused and froze, like galaxies bursting in slow motion, each moment bending the laws of physics. Floating together in the station’s meditation chamber, watching meteor showers streak silver across the darkness, they realized their love mirrored the universe—ever-expanding, brimming with wonder, uncontainable by earthly limits. Their hearts journeyed tirelessly, "Nos cœurs voyagent sans trêve," far from realms where all things fade, into a space where love could never vanish, "L’amour ne peut s’évanouir." In a future where space travel was commonplace, James and Sarah uncovered a truth: the greatest frontier wasn’t the cosmos, but the infinite space between two hearts finding each other. Their love stood as a testament to human potential—physical and emotional—proof that in the vastness of space, two souls could align in perfect orbit. This wasn’t just a tale of a wrestling coach and a space athletics director falling in love. It was the story of two stars whose gravitational pull was inevitable, whose connection defied age and convention, whose passion burned bright enough to light the void between worlds. Together, they showed that true love, like the cosmos, knows no boundaries and endures eternally—"Vers les étoiles, Pour toujours." |
