[Event Details] How to apply for the PolloAI x Shironen Contest and how to create videos for each of the 3 categories

I am truly happy to have so many people
participating ^ ^


If you haven't joined yet,
please take a look atthe first articlehere👇

For those who have participated this time,
90% of you saidthis was your first time making a video.

If you read this article and think,
"Maybe I can do this too,"

I would be very happy if you wouldparticipate^ ^

💌 First of all, something I want to tell you

Since there will be awards this time,
we have set it up as acategory-based contest format


,but please rest assured that we are notplacing importance oncreative skills

.

It
doesn't matterif you just started note or have been doing it for a long time.It also

doesn't matterif you have many or few followers.

This project started with that thought in mind.


Actually, to those who participated,

I received many such
anxious voices.


Of course, I think everyone has
things they are good at and things they are not.

I think that note readers will be touched by that kind of

background.

Therefore, rather than "whether you can do it well," I would be happy if you could prioritize



"enjoying it" and "the feeling of taking on a new challenge"
above all else, and include those
thoughts



in your article.

If we can get feedback like "it opens up the world" or "making videos is more fun than I imagined" after actually trying out PolloAI, I would want to give us, the organizers of this event, a


winner's trophy




. lol

Skill-focused events are not what this is, so I hope you will feel free to participate, and I would be happy if everyone who participates enjoys it to the fullest^ ^

Now, without further ado, I will talk about the details of the
PolloAI x Shironen Contest. First, the


overall flow is like this👇

The content of your post is free^ ^ It's okay to just add


one video to your usual article.

Regarding the video theme, please choose
onecategoryfromthese 3👇

Since there is a lot of
content this time,I have included a table of contents.I hope you will read from the


necessary sections.

💰 How to add credits

First, please open PolloAI and follow the steps below to
add credits👇

That said,
I think many people might be thinking, "I don't know which model to choose,"


so today, I will introduce how to easily create

high-quality videos at a
low cost.

About PolloAI's video generation models

PolloAI's video generation models are as follows👇

I turned this sample image into a video and compared them👇

They are
ranked in order of low cost but high quality.

Verification results are here👇

Seedance2.0 video created with this is here👇

Now, let's take a look at the
features of each model.

1st Place🥇PixVerse V6

2nd Place🥈PolloAI 2.5

3rd Place🥉Wan 2.5

4th to 6th Place
(They are unstable, so it's better not to use them)

The lower-ranked models are
likely to cause frequent errors, so it's best to avoid them.

🥇 1st place PixVerse V6 feels stable among the low-cost models^ ^
Please use this as a reference when creating your work👇

How to use PolloAI

PolloAI will open to a screen like this.

First, I will briefly explain the
video generation flow.


1. "Video" Select.

2. Prompt Enter.

3. Model Select.

First, please try selecting PixVerse V6.

4. Select the video size, duration, and quality.

5. The contents of the tab on the far right are here👇

Depending on the category,
the video duration should be around 5 to 10 seconds as a guideline.


Now, from here, I will explain how to create videos for
each category.

🎬 About how to create videos

My method is a simple and easy
2-step process👇

Nenkoro-chan has actually created a

ChatGPT


GPTs for this event that can handle everything from image generation to prompt creation👇

It's super easy because you can proceed based on
consultation like this👇

↓

As I continued the conversation, it automatically created a
prompt for me.

With Nenkoro-chan's GPTs, you can also create
storyboards like this👇

I created one image.

↓

I entered the created image and prompt, then clicked the
“Generate” button.

↓

Once video generation starts, you will see the following screen.

Here is the completed video👇

From here on, I will introduce the videos I actually made
for each category.

① Story Category | Turning a scene from an article into a video

Here is the sample video I created👇

In a previous article,
I wrote about the birth of Kuro, so here it is👇

I myself
met AI when I was seriously worried about how to live my future, and my world expanded, so


I made a video about that
story.

3 scenes I made into a video.

↓

↓

The point is,
it's best if the readers who read your article can

visualize the scene◎


The reader will imagine it and be drawn in.
Please try making a video like that^ ^

(2) Promotion Category | note eye-catching video

Here is the sample video I made👇

And,

Just by including one video,

you can make readers who come to read your article think
“Oh!”to themselves.

An image like this

↓

When turned into a video, it looks like this👇

Simple movements are enough, so please try making one by choosing

the character'sexpressions andabackground that fits the worldviewof your note.

③ Art & Expression Category | Personifying/Animating Characters

Here is a sample video I made👇

As this is a category for
expressing your character by adding movement, please try making a video that you can use in your future note articles^ ^

Please try making a video that brings out the personality of your own character. Bonus video👇

📁 How to embed videos in note articles

article you are submitting that you created^ ^

① Embed as a“file” as shown below

However, with this method,

It has the
disadvantagethat readers cannot see it unless they

easiest methodavailable ^ ^

② Embeda social media link

Upload the video you created to your own social media account.
upload.

It will be displayed like this 👇

③ Convert to GIFIf you change the file format to "GIF," you can insert it into your note article as an
