Recreating a Behind-the-Scenes Video with Jimeng Video 3.5 Pro, Stumbling Upon a Set-Style Workflow

So I basically followed that viral AI behind-the-scenes video style and recreated it shot by shot using Jimeng 3.5 Pro. The more I worked on it, the more fun it got—by the end, I was basically treating it like a mini film set: first lock down the camera position and shot type, then storyboard out the motion shots, and feed in the character blocking and lighting as separate parameters.

The real trick isn’t about making a single shot look amazing, but keeping the visual style consistent across a bunch of shots so they don’t feel jarring when cut together. I ran into plenty of pitfalls along the way—keeping the same character consistent across different shots was the hardest part, and that took a lot of fixed descriptions plus endless re-rolling to brute-force it.

Overall, this version of the tool has made noticeable progress in smooth camera movement, and it’s definitely worth diving into properly.

Cross-scene consistency is seriously tough, I’ve totally failed at it too.

That on-set directing approach is genius, saved it.

Front row waiting for the full storyboard parameters.

You can really see the improvement in camera movement coherence—it’s night and day.

Making it flow without any awkward cuts—that’s the real skill. :ok_hand:

Marking this — I’ve been meaning to make a behind-the-scenes style video too.

I ended up locking both first and last frame to the reference, way fewer jump cuts
