AI music video

Alarm im Darm

An extra-spicy döner, a mad dash to the toilet and no toilet paper. A pop-punk song with an AI music video, this time a pure no0bz production. Four concepts are currently being tested against each other.

AI music videoConcept phase

It starts out harmless: a döner kebab, extra spicy, a solid ten out of ten. Then the rumbling begins. What follows is a panicked sprint across town, a red light at the worst possible moment, a toilet with no paper, a prayer in a reggae bridge and, at the very end, the question of whether anyone has a match.

“Alarm im Darm” (roughly: “red alert in the gut”) is a German skate and pop-punk song, 3:12 long and made with Suno. Now it is getting an AI music video. After Warum machst du das? this is my next music video, and this time a pure no0bz production.

Four concepts in the race

Before I commit to a style, there is testing to do. Several rounds of brainstorming with Claude left four concepts standing:

  • Darm Rush: the video as a 16-bit video game. Instead of a health bar there is a pressure gauge, and the most important item is a roll of toilet paper.
  • Döner Girl: a wild punk comic with a heroine of her own, tearing through the desert in a döner van on tank tracks.
  • Kommissar Darm: a 1970s-style detective show, with story and singing.
  • Screenlife: everything happens on a phone screen, in portrait format.

Each concept gets a different part of the song. That way the comparison shows not just four styles, but also how each one copes with verse, chorus and bridge.

The first start frames

Every start frame later becomes a clip. The first six of twelve are done, three each for Darm Rush and Döner Girl.

They are not flawless yet. In the Döner Girl frames, some of the prompt text ended up in the page margin, and the last image shows a tanker truck in the background instead of the döner van. Both will be fixed.

First test clips

Two quick ten-second clips already exist, made in the Gemini app. They were generated without a start frame, which is why a burger suddenly pops up in Darm Rush and Döner Girl looks different from the images above. The next round uses the start frames.

Döner Girl, first test: “Ten out of ten”

How it is made

  • Song: Suno
  • Lyrics: transcribed from the song locally with faster-whisper
  • Concepts, prompts and scenes: worked out with Claude, which also cut the audio clips for the tests
  • Start frames: an image model by Google
  • Quick test clips: Gemini app, around ten seconds per clip
  • Longer test clips: MiniMax H3 running locally in ComfyUI, 30 seconds each from three scenes

Status

Concept phase. Six of twelve start frames and two test clips are done. Next up are the start frames for Kommissar Darm and Screenlife and the longer test clips. After that I will decide which concept becomes the full video.
