How I made the video below (17s):

1. Use Nano Banana to generate keyframes (a consistent world + full environment)
2. Use Kling with first/last frame reference to generate the in-between shots (bring the keyframes to life)
3. Use CapCut for revisions and editing (pacing, transitions, SFX, subtitles)

There are three main challenges:

1. Getting AI to produce story-driven visuals: you need to bake relationships and narrative intent into the prompt
2. Writing prompts in cinematic language: specify shot types, camera movement, and framing changes to make transitions smoother
3. Editing is the real “ceiling”: assembling shots, controlling rhythm, building emotion, and syncing sound with visuals all come down to editing

Making AI shorts is basically a hybrid job: writer-director + editor. If you understand storytelling and camera grammar—and then cut it with the right rhythm—the results get dramatically better.
