I asked nano banana to take me across Middle-earth and this is what happened...
all the details on how I made this video, below 🧵👇
Since I have nano Banana unlimited (I'll tell you how to get yours), I asked it to create Hobbiton for me in Google Maps mode.
Here’s the prompt:
dashcam google street view shot | Hobbiton streets | hobbits carrying out daily tasks like gardening and smoking pipes | sunny day
I asked Grok to help me generate more images using the same prompt, but this time going through key moments from The Lord of the Rings.
It kinda got out of hand and I ended up making 38 stills in total.
Here are 4 of them, with the prompts in the ALTs.
More coming up. 👇
You’ve probably noticed that some of them have those classic Maps elements.
Yep, I edited each one by hand and removed all of them.
Then I upscaled them using Magnific. Here are some of the results.
But we’re not done yet!
Then I created a horse view with this prompt:
dashcam google street view shot | hands first person pov riding a horse in the meadows. XII century
And I integrated it into each of the stills using Harmonize in Photoshop.
Here are a few examples.
Alright, take a breather because now the action begins.
We’re gonna animate all the stills using initial and final frames with Kling 2.1.
I’ll drop a couple of JSON prompts below.
You can create some amazing transitions, and since we’ve integrated all the elements, the transition’s gonna be super smooth.
The prompts are in the ALTs of the screenshots.
