This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
The instructor personally plans, demonstrates, narrates, evaluates, and edits every lesson. AI-generated videos are used as practical examples while teaching Google Flow and a human-directed video-production workflow.
Would you like to create
realistic AI characters that return from one video to the next
—with recognizable appearances, personalities, voices, and stories?
In this practical course, I'll take you behind the scenes of
The Tabbys
, my ongoing series of short AI-generated videos featuring two talking cats named
George and Maggie
.
You'll see how I turned a simple idea into a recurring character series using
Google Flow, character reference images, carefully constructed prompts, and a video editor.
This is not a
"write one perfect prompt and everything magically works"
course. AI video generation can produce remarkably realistic results, but it can also misunderstand your instructions, change important details, rush the dialogue, create unwanted sounds, or deliver something completely unexpected.
That's why I'll show you the real workflow—including what goes wrong.
You'll learn how to:

Plan a simple story before spending your generation credits

Develop recurring characters and continuity guidelines

Write effective prompts for appearance, dialogue, action, sound, and camera framing

Choose your model, aspect ratio, and number of generated results

Organize your work using projects and collections

Evaluate generated footage and decide what to keep or regenerate

Selectively edit generated scenes inside Google Flow

Mirror footage when useful and overdub dialogue with your own voice

Assemble separate generated clips into one finished video
I demonstrate the final editing process in
Camtasia®
, which I've used for many years. However,
Camtasia is not required.
The same principles can be used in almost any video editor capable of trimming, rearranging and mirroring clips, and replacing audio.
Although George and Maggie are cats,
the workflow is not limited to animal characters.
You could use these techniques to create recurring characters and short videos for websites, social media, marketing, digital greeting cards, education, storytelling—or simply for fun.
Google Flow changes frequently, so your screen may not always look exactly like mine. Rather than concentrating only on the location of individual buttons, I'll teach you the underlying
planning, prompting, generation, organization, and editing process.
The results may not always be perfect—but with good planning, effective prompts, and thoughtful editing, they can be perfectly usable.
