How to Make Stickman Animation with AI for FREE

Tutorial showing how to make viral stickman-style historical animations using free AI tools: ChatGPT for scripts and prompts, Google Flow for characters and clips, ElevenLabs for voiceover, and CapCut

Key Takeaways

Stickman historical animations can be produced end-to-end with free AI tools.
Reference character sheets and reused instructions keep characters consistent across scenes.
Free-tier limits (e.g., three Flow videos per day) can be worked around by using multiple accounts.
A single structured prompt can drive generation of many clips, reducing manual work.

What the video covers

Stickman animation channels are a trending niche that can gain millions of views with simple visuals.
The workflow is fully automated and uses only free AI tools.
Step 1: Use a chatbot (ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude) with an instructions file to generate eight video ideas for historical stories, including story, length, clip count, and difficulty.
Step 2: Generate character prompts with color codes from ChatGPT and create character sheets in Google Flow using the Nano Banana tool.
Step 3: Create AI agent instructions in Flow using character reference images to maintain character consistency across scenes.
Step 4: Get detailed video-generation prompts from ChatGPT and generate clips in Flow with 16:9 aspect ratio and the Omni Flash 1.1 model.
The free Google Flow plan is limited to three videos per day, so the creator switches between Google accounts to continue generating clips.
Step 5: Generate a voiceover script with ChatGPT and produce narration with ElevenLabs' free voices.
Step 6: Assemble clips and voiceover in a free editor such as CapCut.
The example story is about the 1932 Australian 'Emu War', where soldiers with machine guns failed to stop emus raiding wheat fields.

Chapters

Which tools are used in this stickman animation workflow?

ChatGPT (or Gemini/Claude) generates ideas, prompts and scripts; Google Flow with Nano Banana and Omni Flash 1.1 creates characters and clips; ElevenLabs produces the voiceover; and CapCut is used for final editing. All are free to use.

How does the creator keep characters consistent across scenes?

The creator generates character sheets with fixed color codes, uploads them as reference images to the Flow AI agent, and reuses the same instructions for each character, so the AI maintains their appearance in every clip.

What limitation does the free plan have and how is it handled?

The free Google Flow plan allows only three videos per day. The creator switches to a different Google Flow account to continue generating clips, and splits prompts into parts to manage output.

Stickman animations is one of the easiest and most trending niches right now, as many new channels are getting millions of views by just creating these simple animations. And the best part, all of it can be easily replicated using AI. In this video, I'm going to guide you through the whole process to create similar videos by just using free AI tools. To make things easier, everything is automated. So, let's dive in.

the AI. And in this video I'm going to guide you through the whole process to create the similar videos by just using the free AI tools. And to make things easier, everything is automated. So, let's dive in. So, first of all, we need

Speaker A

So, first of all, we need a chatbot. You can go with Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT. I'm going with ChatGPT. Then you need to upload this instructions file and hit generate. This will give you eight different video ideas. This is specifically designed for historical videos, but if you want any specific kind of video, you can simply type it.

specifically designed for the historical videos, but if you want any specific kind of videos, you can simply type it.

Speaker A

The good thing about these instructions is that they also give you full details: the story idea, the video length, how many clips the video will use, and the difficulty, meaning how easy it is to create the videos using AI. I like the first idea, so I simply typed "continue with first." Now it's going to give you character prompts for every single character, along with the color code. We're going to simply copy the prompt and go to Google's Flow AI. Make sure to use the Nano Banana tool, type the prompt, and hit generate.

Speaker A

We're going to repeat the same process with every single character. Copy the prompt and generate the image of every character. Now we have the character sheets of both of these characters with the exact same color codes that ChatGPT gave us. You can see the dark brown, and this is exactly matching the ChatGPT codes. Once your characters are ready, simply hit next. This will give you the instructions for the AI agent that we're going to use in Google Flow.

prompt and generate the images of every single character. And now we have the character sheets of both of these characters with the exact same color codes that ChatGPT gave us. You can see the dark brown and this is exactly

Once we have the instructions, simply copy them and go to Flow AI. Make sure to hit the AI agent, and now simply paste the instructions. Make sure to upload the character image, because we have three different characters, so we're going to repeat this process with every single character. We're going to add the reference image and paste the same instructions with the soldier, with the farmer. Why is this important? Because it will maintain character consistency throughout every single scene. Let's say you want 10 different scenes. This will maintain the consistency of the characters in every single clip.

copy it and go to the Flow AI. Make sure to hit the AI agent and now simply paste the instructions. And make sure to upload the character image because we have three different characters, so we're going to repeat this process with

Once that's done, get back to ChatGPT, type next, and this will give you a detailed prompt for the video generation of every single clip. Now, simply get back to Flow AI, paste this prompt, and make sure the AI agent is selected. In the settings, we're going to choose 16:9, make sure the video model is Omni Flash 1.1, and then hit generate. Now it's going to generate all the clips that are required, so we don't have to generate every single clip manually. We have one prompt, and the AI agent will do the rest for us.

want want 10 different scenes, this is going to maintain the consistency of characters in every single clip. So, once it's done, again get back to the ChatGPT, type next, and now this will give you a detailed prompt for the video

Speaker A

Sometimes it might ask you for permissions. Simply hit approve, and it will continue generating the videos. However, on a free plan, you are only limited to three videos a day. In this case, you have to switch to a different Google Flow account. We have to give it a prompt, and make sure to split the clips into two parts. Each prompt will generate three different clips. But don't worry about that, I'll make the changes in the final version of the instructions file. Then simply copy the prompt, and repeat the same process with the AI agent.

1.1, and then hit generate. So, now it's going to generate all the clips that are required, so we don't have to generate every single clip manually. We have one prompt, AI agent will do rest of the things for us. And sometimes it might

Once we have the videos in front of us, as you can see, we have these videos, and some videos from the previous account. Once you have all of these videos, it's time to generate the voiceover. For that, give it a prompt, generate the voiceover script, and copy the script. Then go to ElevenLabs. Again, this is a free tool. Simply paste the script, and you can use any of their free voices from the library. I'm going to go with the default. Once you have it, simply hit generate, and download your voiceover.

account. So, we have to give it a prompt, make sure to split the clips into two part. Each prompt will generate three different clips. But, don't worry about that, I'll make the changes in the final versions of the instructions file.

Once we have all of these things ready, open any free video editor. I'm using CapCut. Simply drag and drop all of the clips and your voiceover, arrange them accordingly, and you'll have the final version in front of you.

So, these are the final results. In 1932, emus raided Western Australia's wheat fields. The government sent soldiers with machine guns. In ways all colder, not as politic lux to considering duck and weave, but the birds scattered into smaller groups. One ambush collapsed when a machine gun jammed. The operation failed to solve the problem. The famous punchline: Australia lost a war against birds.
