Nano Banana to Video (Part 2) – Prompt. Edit. Video: 12 Things I Learned

Nano Banana is just one part of the story – it’s the platform mix that makes it work.
In this short film, I explore the story of a lone researcher crossing the Drake Passage in 1901. Based on a single image and built with multiple AI tools, the animation shows what’s possible when visual consistency, video generation, and sound design all work in sync.

Part 1: The animation itself.
Created with ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Nano Banana (editing), Seedance Pro (video), Runway Act-Two (lip sync), Suno (music), and ElevenLabs (voice), then edited in Adobe Premiere and After Effects.

Part 2: Behind the scenes – with 12 specific takeaways.
From prompt structure and AI hallucinations to platform stability and frame control – this is a look into what worked, what didn’t, and what I’ll do differently next time. I also compared four major video platforms: Seedance Pro, Midjourney Video, Kling 2.1, and Wan 2.2.

Tools featured in this video:
Midjourney · Nano Banana · Seedance Pro · Suno · Claude · Runway Act-Two · ElevenLabs · ChatGPT

This isn’t a polished production. It’s an experiment in storytelling with AI.
