A music video made start to finish on one graphics card.
No studio, no stock footage, no subscription, no render farm. One second hand workstation card in a spare room made the music, the images and the motion. Both cuts are below. Watch them, take them, go build your own.
The point. Everybody selling you a creative tool wants a monthly fee and your files on their disk. This is the same job done on hardware that is already paid for, with software that costs nothing, offline. The track came out of a local music model. The forty images came out of a local image model. The motion came out of a local video model. Nothing left the building and nobody got a credit card number.
One. The animated cut
1 minute 17 // 1080p // 40 shots, every one of them moving
Why this one is first. This is the good one. Every shot is genuinely animated, not a photo with a slow zoom bolted on. Forty separate clips, one per image, none of them repeated. The whole set generated in about twenty three minutes on a card you can buy used for a few hundred quid. That number is the actual headline here.
Two. The full length cut
2 minutes 59 // 1080p // the complete track, moving stills
What this one is. This came first and it runs the full song. Same forty images, but the motion is camera moves pushed across the stills rather than generated frames, every cut landing on a detected beat. It is a slideshow with taste and it is honest about that. Worth watching for the images and for the edit, not for the animation.
The catch, because there is always one. The music is the weak part and pretending otherwise would be insulting. It is serviceable background, it does not go anywhere interesting, and a local model this size still writes fairly boring structure. The pictures are miles ahead of the sound. The other honest bit: an image model with no trained likeness will not hold one character across forty shots, so the mask drifts a little from shot to shot, and the animated model loses the subject entirely if you ask it for clips longer than about two seconds. Both of those are fixable and neither is hidden here.
The stack, if you want to copy it
All local, all free. The images are SDXL. The animation is LTX Video, the small distilled build, which is the piece that makes this practical instead of theoretical. The audio came from a local music model and got mastered with standard loudness tooling. Everything ran through ComfyUI on one 16 GB card, one job at a time, sharing that card with the assistant that runs this house. Total spend on software for the whole thing: nothing. If you want the music side written up properly, that is Field Log 018, and there is free music to take on KyberAmp.
