An 18-second prototype AI generated ad, mixing REAL product shots and lifestyle, in-action shots – all from static photos.

Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0 are reliable and excellent at handling hard surface objects and great for demonstration animation. Controlling camera angles and pacing is sometimes out of hand, but I adjusted it along the way and in post-production.

This can work well as a demo film for a pitch, to demonstrate the creative or director’s vision for what they plan to produce or include in the final film. Compared to our Yamaha PG-1 (2025) or Yamaha Janus (2024) product videos, it’s still far from production-grade, razor-sharp, richly detailed quality. But I’m glad to see we’re on the way, maybe by the end of 2026, or sometime the year after.
