An AI-made visual short about movement, memory, and the feeling of passing through different worlds without ever fully stopping.
“Train and I” follows a small figure watching landscapes shift beyond a train window — from ancient worlds to distant cities — as time quietly moves forward in the background.

🚀 What I Built
A smart AI pipeline that automatically translates video ads into different languages. It clones the original speaker's exact voice and syncs their mouth movements perfectly in the new language, so brands don't have to spend thousands of dollars re-shooting ads for global markets.
🛠️ The Tech Stack
ElevenLabs Flows (For the main automation canvas)
Google Gemini 2.5 Flash (To analyze the context and text)
ElevenLabs Multilingual v2 (For voice cloning)
Lip-Sync Engine (To match the mouth movements)
⚠️ Current Limitations & Challenges
Right now, the flow does not have an automatic video/audio listener feature. Because of this missing node, I had to manually copy and paste the English script into the translation node to trigger the workflow.
🔮 What’s Next?
I am already working on adding an auto-transcription (Speech-to-Text) node at the beginning. Once that's done, the pipeline will become 100% automated—you will just drop the video link, and get the translated result instantly.

Archive: Visual System
Transform a simple reference into a cinematic identity system generating editorial visuals, typography, posters, layouts, merchandise, and atmospheric soundtrack through a unified art direction language.
Designed for fashion, music, culture, and experimental creative worlds.
Built inside ElevenLabs, the template generates cohesive creative assets inspired by brutalist design, fashion editorials, museum publications, and archival print culture.
This is so well made!
I built "Storybook Magic — Your Child's Personalized Adventure" using ElevenLabs Flows for the Contra x ElevenLabs challenge.
WHAT IT DOES:
Enter a child's name, story theme, and character description — the template generates a complete 6-page personalized animated storybook with illustrations, narration, music, and sound effects. Every child gets a unique story featuring them as the hero.
HOW IT WORKS:
The pipeline chains multiple AI models across 40+ nodes:
Gemini LLM generates a full 6-page personalized story with scene-by-scene illustration directions, narration, camera motion, and sound design
Flux 1 Kontext Pro generates a character reference image first — ensuring the child's character looks consistent across all 6 pages
6 parallel illustration nodes generate watercolor-style page illustrations using the character reference
Different video models are used purposefully — each chosen for that specific moment in the story to maximize visual quality and motion
Maria Moody (Children's Story Narrator voice) narrates each page via ElevenLabs TTS v3
Custom SFX generated per page — matched to exact scene atmosphere
Music node generates a unique background score based on the story theme — not a fixed track
Final Composition assembles all 6 pages with music into one complete video
REAL WORLD VALUE:
Custom animated storybooks take weeks to produce and require coordinating illustrators, animators, and voice artists. Most parents who want one never get it made — the process is too complex and too slow. This template eliminates all of that. Any parent, educator, or children's content creator can produce a complete personalized storybook in minutes — for any child, any character, any theme.
IMPORTANT NOTE — PLATFORM BUG:
ElevenLabs Flows is currently in Alpha. The Flow works perfectly end-to-end and produces a complete storybook video. However, the Composition node has a known bug in template execution — when running as a Template, it throws "Referenced generation failed" error repeatedly. I lost significant credits on multiple failed attempts. I reported this in #elevenhacks-support on Discord. Due to this platform limitation, I am submitting the public Flow link instead of a Template link. The complete working output video is attached as demo.
Nice work 🔥. i love it , i noticed you made a mistake by submit your flow instead of your template . but it should be possible to correct that before the deadline 💪🏼
