Summary

AI ghost-prank videos for TikTok and Instagram can be created more reliably by using a two-stage process: first preparing or generating a clean source image with ample background space, then editing in a translucent apparition before animating it with a video model such as Veo 3.1. The approach emphasizes preserving the foreground subject’s facial likeness while preventing the ghost from becoming an opaque human figure, using detailed optical language such as double exposure, 5% to 10% opacity, visible background pass-through, blurred features, fixed spatial distance, and negative prompts that exclude solid bodies, walking, shadows, and cloned faces. Suggested aesthetics include a grainy 1990s disposable-camera flash scene, a Victorian tintype double exposure, and infrared doorbell-camera surveillance footage, each supported by modular prompts controlling camera perspective, subject behavior, ghost appearance, movement, timing, and exclusions. The text also recommends locking generation seeds for consistency, diagnosing common artifacts such as face distortion or camera movement through targeted prompt adjustments, and optimizing short-form videos as six-second vertical loops with a reveal between two and four seconds. For social distribution, it advises 1080-by-1920 H.264 exports at 24 or 30 fps and proposes pairing an original photo with the generated video in an Instagram carousel to encourage swipes and repeat viewing.
