How we make music videos with AI: Chemistry and TEN
By Joseph Wright, One-Life Media. 5 October 2026
What does a music video look like with no camera, no crew and no studio? For InBlaq Music, we have now made two videos that answer that question: Chemistry by 2106, and TEN by 2106 x Harmony. Here is how we made them.
Chemistry: built entirely with AI
Chemistry was produced using a stack of freely available AI tools. From concept to final export, every frame was generated, animated and assembled with AI.
There is no stock footage and no traditional filming in it. The visual world comes entirely from creative direction and the right technology.
Our two-stage process
Our pipeline for Chemistry combined two kinds of AI tool. The first creates the images. The second brings those images to life.
Stage one: text to image
Every scene began as a written prompt. We ran those prompts through AI image generators to create the stills that form the foundation of the video.
The image tools we used were PicLumen, WAN AI, Qwen AI and ChatGLM.
Stage two: AI video
With the images in place, we used AI video tools to animate the scenes, add motion and sequence everything into a finished edit.
The video tools we used were Google Vids, WAN Video, LTX Studio and Google AI Studio with Veo 3.
Where the tools come from
Every tool in the Chemistry pipeline is freely available. We keep notes on each one in our own production library, so we know which tool suits which job.
That matters because no single tool does everything well. Some are better at still images, others at motion. Choosing the right mix is part of the craft.
TEN: working within the limits
TEN is an AI video animation for the track by 2106 x Harmony, also commissioned by InBlaq Music. We first produced it using Grok AI.
Grok gave us a highly creative, dynamic visual output. Then increased content restrictions began to limit what the platform could produce.
We adapted and finished the project anyway. Every frame was guided so the visuals served the music, not the other way around.
What AI video does well
- Big ideas on a small budget. You can create worlds that would be impossible or very expensive to film.
- No location or crew. There is no need to book a venue, hire kit or gather people on one day.
- Speed of iteration. A scene can be changed by rewriting a prompt rather than reshooting.
What it still needs from people
AI tools do not replace creative direction. Someone still has to decide what the video is about and how each scene should feel.
The tools also change quickly. Features appear, and rules tighten, as we found with TEN. Knowing more than one tool keeps a project moving when one of them changes.
Finally, the edit still matters. Timing scenes to the beat and building a sense of story is careful human work.
Is an AI video right for you?
An AI video can be a good fit if you want striking visuals, have a limited budget or need content quickly. It suits independent artists, labels and brands alike.
A filmed video may suit you better if your audience wants to see you perform, or the song is tied to a real place.
Many projects use both. We shoot on location, build with AI tools, and often do both in the same video.
