Creating a Christmas Greeting Video using AI.

This was quite an exhilarating ride in video production using AI. At each step there was agony and ecstasy, surprises and comic relief. Despite consulting Gemini to improve my prompts, the AI platforms could not deliver all the requirements. Some sequences had the reindeer facing back to front or at the back of the sleigh. The animation for the sleigh ride ended like a hovering helicopter trip! After blewing several thousand credits it was time to pick through the wreckage and mine the possibilities.

Then using Photoshop to edit the stills and Premiere Pro to remix the videos, a coherent piece did emerge.
