Step 01 — Image Generation

Create the Images

Go to OpenArt (CLICK HERE) and use the Nano Banana Pro model. You'll need two reference images for each generation.

🖼 Reference Images Ready for You

I've already created all the reference images with the F1 garages for you. You just need to download them and upload them as Image 1 (Reference). Then upload a photo of yourself or your character as Image 2.

Step 02 — Video Generation

Create the Videos

Once you've generated the images, it's time to bring them to life. Use the video prompts for each team to animate the scene.

🎬 How Video Generation Works

Use the Reference Image 1 (the garage photo) as the starting frame. Use your generated image (the result from Step 1) as the end frame. Then paste the video prompt.

Red Bull Racing

Max Verstappen

Download Reference Image
⬇️Save this reference image — you'll need it as Image 1
📋 Image Prompt — Red Bull
Keep the exact framing and perspective from img1. Max Verstappen (originally positioned left beside the car) is now standing together with the woman from img2, centered (IMPORTANT: in the middle of the image) directly in front of the nose cone. She is wearing a black top, red skirt and yellow high heels. Both are standing on the red line, posing for a photo. In the background, the mechanics from the right side are actively working on the car, but their positions, poses, and body orientations must be slightly different from img1. They should appear naturally repositioned, mid-action, with subtle movement variations — not identical to the original image.
Copied!
📋 Video Prompt — Red Bull
On the left side of the car, partially in shadow near the front-left wheel, a Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen in a dark blue racing overall with sponsor patches is already present. He appears focused, checking something near the front suspension, slightly bent forward. Then he steps around the front-left tire, and walks forward into the main light. A woman jogs in from the left side, and walks confidently toward the nose of the car. As she reaches the front, she slows down, turns toward camera with a natural smile. At that moment, The driver Max Verstappen joins her at the center front of the car.

Step 03 — Transitions

Garage Transitions

Now create smooth camera pan transitions between each garage. This makes the final video feel like one continuous walk through the pit lane.

Tool: Kling 3.0Duration: 4 secAspect Ratio: 9:16Resolution: 1080p
🎬 Start and End Frame

Use the last frame of the previous garage's video as the Start Frame, and the first frame of the next garage's video as the End Frame. Kling will generate a smooth camera pan between them.
