Stand out with AI. Here is how I transformed my LinkedIn Profile into a fun animated AI Video.

It's no secret that with ChatGPT etc. its easy to create and optimize your LinkedIn Profile, CV or Cover letter.

But if everyone does it.
Nobody stands out.
It just becomes the new normal.

So what to do about it?
Be more creative and think beyond pre-existing concepts.

Here: 
Created an AI animated Video of my LinkedIn Profile. 

Whats new?
Using NotebookLM's static image Storyline to animate the entire video.

Detailed Process/HowTo:
(as always workflow at the end of video):
+ Download your LinkedIn profile as PDF 
+ NotebookLM to generate initial Video (static scenes)
+ Google AI Studio to vibe code a Key Frame extractor
+ Create Animations of keyframes in Freepik Spaces Workflow
+ Transitions between scenes using Hailuo 2 and Kling
+ Extract audio from Video and create Talking Avatar with HeyGen
+ create background soundtrack in Suno
+ layer Video scenes on top of 

Reflect/Learning:
+ NotebookLM is still phenomenal in creating a great base storyboard
+ AI video tools have become sufficiently good for basic animations
+ Transforming static content into dynamic visuals is as easy as never before

Want to give it a try and make it yours?
Basic Prompt NotebookLM:
"explaining what stefan does and how cool he is to 10 year old kids."

Basic Prompt for Frame transitions:
"Modern Motion Design animation" (thx Jakob Schweighardt for the Tipp!)

Elevenlabs just added AI Video and Image to their Platform (Beta).
As the biggest AI Audio Platform. Trend of integration continues...

... is it gamechanging?
Not at all.

Just goes to show that any of the AI video and image tools having an API will get integrated into the main platforms (of other modalities).

Name of the game: Integration.
Other platforms that recently did so are i.e. HeyGen and Synthesia.

Result?
- it will be easier than ever to access these tools
- Its gonna become harder to actually stand out as a platform

Interesting nonetheless :)

HowTo on the Comic:
+ Google Nano Banana on Freepik
+ uploaded my pic, teo and 2 screenshots

Prompt:
"Stefanv@stefan_comic_style  and his cat Teo  in a 4 panel Comic talking about Elevenlabs now integrating AI Video and AI Images. No hype... just an update around "Everyone seems to integrate AI Video and Images into their platform" Have these screenshots as 2 of the panels.   @img3"

I asked 2 AI Video Tools: "Biggest paradox of our lifetime"?
Same answer. And it might surprise you...

...or not. :P

Often trying weird things with AI, gives surprising results.
No fancy prompt.
Just one simple question as a prompt.

"Biggest paradox of our lifetime"

I ran the same prompt multiple times in 2 State of The Art AI Video Models.
Sora 2 and Google Veo 3.1.

Same answer.
Same message.

And as its an amalgation/reflection of anything they have been trained on (meaning us), it does hit home right?

So in the words of Teo.
"Go out more and meet people" :)

It's not only me saying it. 
But also the AI.
And if its come to this... 
We REALLY should, right? :)

P.S.: Is this scientific. No, of course.
Just a little fun experiment. 
But it does make you think, kinda?
