Generative AI Video Trailer: Epic "Legend of Mi Yue" Reimagined with Veo 3 & Nano Banana – Solo Cinematic Production
Project Overview
As a Generative AI Video Director, I directed and produced a cinematic trailer reimagining Mi Yue (Queen Dowager Xuan), China's first confirmed female regent from the Warring States period. Using only state-of-the-art generative AI tools, I achieved studio-grade polish, consistent character rendering, dynamic cinematography, dramatic pacing, without actors, sets, crews, or traditional VFX budgets. Completed solo. This project proves how generative AI video production lets independent creators deliver historical epics and brand trailers faster and cheaper than ever.
The Challenge
High-end cinematic trailers for historical dramas or brand concepts typically require:
Multi-month production timelines
Large teams (directors, cinematographers, VFX artists, editors)
Six-figure budgets for talent, locations, CGI
My goal: Replicate that emotional intensity, visual fidelity, and narrative power using AI video tools like Veo 3, while ensuring zero character/environment drift across complex scenes.
My Generative AI Workflow
Role: Generative AI Video Director. I conceptualized the story arc, directed visual style, engineered prompts for consistency, orchestrated asset-to-video pipeline, and handled final polish/sound integration.
Asset Foundation with Nano Banana
Used Nano Banana to create locked-in Mi Yue character (different ages), ancient Chinese palaces, battlefields, atmospheric rain/fog effects. Its superior character preservation enabled dozens of on-model variations without style drift.
Cinematic Video Generation with Veo 3
Input Nano Banana assets into Veo 3 for full motion sequences. Directed camera language, weather FX, action choreography, and seamless scene transitions while maintaining epic cinematic look and perfect fidelity.
Audio & Final Assembly
Layered orchestral score, battle SFX, ambient rain, and VO elements via AI audio generation.
