How to Create Ghibli-Style AI Videos: Ghibli-style AI videos have become one of the most popular content formats across YouTube, Instagram Reels, and Facebook. Their soft colors, emotional storytelling, painterly backgrounds, and expressive characters immediately grab attention. Many creators are experimenting with this animation style because it allows them to tell engaging stories without traditional animation skills.
The good news is that you don’t need to be an artist to create these videos. By combining ChatGPT with Google Flow Omni, you can build an entire AI animation workflow—from writing a story to generating cinematic video clips.
This guide explains the complete process step by step. Along the way, you’ll find placeholders where you can insert your own prompts from the tutorial.
How to Create Ghibli-Style AI Videos: Tools You’ll Need
Before getting started, prepare the following tools:
- ChatGPT (for stories and prompt creation)
- Google Flow Omni (for image and video generation)
- A Google account
- A stable internet connection
- Optional: AI voice generator and video editor for the final edit
Keeping your prompts organized in separate files is also a good habit. As your projects become longer, you’ll appreciate having everything neatly arranged.

Story Generation
Every successful AI animation starts with a good story.
Many beginners focus only on visuals, but visuals alone rarely keep viewers watching. A simple story with a clear beginning, middle, and ending gives your animation direction and helps every scene connect naturally.
Use ChatGPT to generate a story that matches your preferred genre. Whether it’s village life, fantasy, mythology, emotional drama, or children’s content, the story should be easy to visualize and suitable for short animated scenes.
A well-written script also makes the next stages much easier because your character designs, scene prompts, and dialogue will all be based on the same narrative.

How to Create 3D Animation Movies: Character Prompting
Once the story is ready, the next step is creating consistent characters.
One of the biggest problems in AI-generated videos is that characters often change their appearance from one scene to another. Hair length, clothing, facial features, and accessories may suddenly look different if the prompts are inconsistent.
To avoid this, ask ChatGPT to generate a detailed prompt for every main character. Include age, clothing, hairstyle, facial features, personality, expressions, and any important accessories. These details should remain the same throughout the project.
Maintaining visual consistency gives your animation a more professional and believable look.
Character Prompt
Analyze the story and identify all MAIN CHARACTERS.
Create Character Sheets ONLY for main characters.
Each character must be generated in a separate copyable code block.
Character Sheet Requirements:
• Full Body Character
• Front View
• Back View
• Side View
• Happy Expression
• Angry Expression
• Shocked Expression
• Consistent Face
• Consistent Hair
• Consistent Costume
• Consistent Body Shape
• Same Character Across All Views
Prompt Requirements:
• English Only
• Ultra Detailed
• Professional Character Sheet
• Character Turnaround Layout
• White Background
• Highly Detailed
• Cute Cartoon Design
• High Quality
• Pixar-Inspired 3D Cartoon Style
• Family-Friendly
• Production-Ready
Visual Style:
Studio Ghibli-inspired hand-painted animation, Hayao Miyazaki-inspired aesthetic, soft watercolor textures, expressive anime eyes, highly detailed Indian village characters, cinematic composition, warm golden and cool moonlit lighting, volumetric fog, natural environmental harmony, lush greenery, realistic fabric folds, subtle facial emotions, ultra-detailed textures, whimsical atmosphere, beautiful color grading, atmospheric depth, consistent character proportions, film-quality illustration, 4K, masterpiece, same character appearance maintained across every scene.
Every Character Prompt must be delivered in a separate copyable code block.
Image Generation
Now it’s time to transform your text prompts into images.
Open Google Flow Omni and paste your character or scene prompt. Before generating the image, review the prompt carefully to ensure it includes the environment, lighting, composition, artistic style, and camera perspective.
If you’re creating a YouTube video, add the 16:9 aspect ratio so the generated image matches the standard widescreen format.
Don’t worry if the first result isn’t perfect. AI image generation often requires a few refinements. Small changes to your prompt can significantly improve the quality of facial expressions, backgrounds, and overall composition.
Once you’re satisfied with the result, download the image and organize it according to its scene number.
Video Prompting
Static images are only one part of the workflow. The next step is preparing prompts that will animate those scenes.
Ask ChatGPT to divide the story into multiple scenes. Each scene should represent approximately 10 seconds of screen time and include 22 to 24 words of dialogue. This helps maintain consistent pacing and makes it easier to synchronize narration with the animation.
Each scene prompt should describe:
- Character actions
- Facial expressions
- Camera movement
- Lighting
- Background details
- Mood
- Environmental movement
- Dialogue
Adding these details gives Google Flow Omni much more information to create smooth, cinematic animations instead of random movements.

Scene Breakdown Format:
Scene Number:
Characters Present:

With your images and scene prompts ready, you can begin generating video clips.
Upload the generated image into Google Flow Omni, paste the corresponding scene prompt, and start the animation process. Generate one scene at a time rather than attempting the entire story in a single request. This approach gives you better control over quality and makes corrections much easier.
After each clip has been generated, preview it carefully. Check that the character remains consistent, the movement looks natural, and the scene matches the intended dialogue. If necessary, adjust the prompt and regenerate the clip.
Download each completed scene and save it in order. Once all the clips are ready, combine them using your preferred video editor, add voiceovers, background music, and sound effects, then export the final video.
Final Thoughts
Creating Ghibli-style AI videos isn’t about finding one perfect prompt. It’s about following a structured workflow that builds on itself.
Start with a strong story. Create detailed and consistent characters. Generate high-quality images. Prepare scene-specific video prompts. Finally, animate each scene carefully and assemble everything into a complete film.
As you create more projects, you’ll naturally improve your prompt-writing skills, and that improvement will show in your animations. Better prompts produce better visuals, smoother scenes, and a more enjoyable viewing experience.
If you’re serious about creating AI animation content for YouTube, learning this workflow is one of the most valuable skills you can develop. With practice, you’ll be able to produce professional-looking Ghibli-style videos that are ready to share across YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.
