01

See why AI suits untold stories

Many stories stay untold because filming them is too expensive: family histories, local legends, cultural myths, and personal journeys. AI video platforms like Higgsfield let a single person turn those stories into short films.

Higgsfield has demonstrated this itself. Its film Hell Grind premiered at the Cannes Film Market in May 2026, and its animated short Kök Börü premiered at SIGGRAPH in July 2026, in a session on how untold stories find new pipelines.

The tools are new. The power still lives in the story only you can tell.

02

Find your story

  • A family memory or a migration story
  • A legend or myth from your own culture
  • A turning point in your life
  • A local hero or place people have forgotten
  • A community story that deserves an audience
03

Shape the story into a short script

  • A runtime of one to three minutes
  • A single main character and one clear change
  • A striking opening image
  • Three acts: setup, struggle, and turning point
  • An ending that lingers with viewers

Help me turn this memory into a script for a two-minute short film with five scenes, one clear emotional turning point, and narration in my own voice. Do not make up facts about real people.

04

Plan your shots

Draft a shot list for every scene: what the viewer sees, the camera angle, the mood, and the narration line that plays over it. Short, simple shots keep AI video easier to control.

05

Build the characters and their world

  • Create characters in Higgsfield, or keep faces consistent with Soul ID
  • Add reference images for places, clothing, and objects
  • Hold one visual style across the whole film
  • Use real people’s faces only with their permission
06

Direct each scene in Cinema Studio

Cinema Studio in Higgsfield lets you cast characters and tag them with @ in scene descriptions, so they hold their roles from shot to shot. Write each shot the way a director would: subject, action, setting, camera, light, and mood.

07

Choose your video models

Higgsfield gathers many models in one place, including Seedance, Kling, Veo, and Wan 3.0. Test the same shot in two models, choose the stronger look, and keep it for the entire film.

08

Add voice and music

  • Narrate in your own voice to keep it authentic
  • Use licensed AI voices only with consent
  • Choose music that suits the culture and the mood
  • Layer in sound effects that set the place and atmosphere
09

Edit it together

  • Put the shots in order
  • Cut anything that does not serve the story
  • Add captions, plus translations where they help
  • Upscale the final cut when needed
10

Tell it with respect

  • Get family members’ approval before sharing their stories
  • Talk with people from the culture you portray
  • Make clear what is true and what is imagined
  • Steer clear of stereotypes
  • Label AI-generated scenes wherever platforms require it
11

Share the film with the world

  • Publish the full film on YouTube
  • Cut shorter clips for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok
  • Submit to AI film festivals, including Higgsfield’s own festival when it is open for entries
  • Share it with the communities tied to the story
12

Mind the costs

Generating video spends credits, and longer films spend more of them. Finish your script and shot list first, test with short clips, and review Higgsfield’s current plans and offers before you begin.

The golden rule

Do not let AI tell the story for you. Let it help you show the story that only you can tell.
