Behind the scenes
How AI material becomes a song with a video. Here are my contact sheets and drafts – the worksheets I use before anything is finished.
How I work
- I write the lyrics and decide how the song should sound.
- An AI music tool turns them into versions. I listen and pick one.
- AI image and video tools deliver the raw material. Much of it gets thrown out.
- Before cutting I plan scene by scene on a board: what comes when, which text, which sound.
- The cuts follow the beat. A contact sheet then shows me at a glance whether the flow works.
- Finally: titles, loudness, portrait format for phones. Only then is it done.

Opening credits, first draft: still landscape, cinema style. One still every half second – that’s how I check whether the ride through the pipes up to the toilet door works. Opening credits, second version: everything moved to portrait for phones. Klo-Gate is a parody with its own look and its own sound – Kacki roars, the curtain falls. “Leb es selbst”: the contact sheet of the finished clip. The cuts land on the beat, from the ember to the sunrise.
