Session: AI Music Videos 101
Winston Mayo is an AI filmmaker and musician who explores how sound and image can work together to create emotionally driven music videos. In his work, he treats music as the foundation of the entire creative process—whether generating original songs or enhancing existing tracks using AI tools. By blending traditional musical instincts with modern platforms like Suno and large language models, Winston shows how creators can define genre, tempo, and tone while maintaining creative ownership and avoiding copyright pitfalls.
In his genCLASS on AI Music Videos 101, Winston walks through building visuals that are led by the song itself—from shaping a two-part narrative to selecting shots that translate intangible emotions into physical moments on screen. He covers techniques for maintaining character and wardrobe consistency, animating still images into motion, and using AI to create large-scale visuals that would be impossible with traditional CGI budgets. The session emphasizes how music naturally drives pacing and editing, allowing creators to focus less on technical complexity and more on telling a powerful, emotionally resonant story.
