From Zero Scenes to 27: How We Built Orion AI and Flow Studio
Two weeks ago, our music video runs were stalling at zero scenes. On October 2, a single run rendered 27 lip-synced scenes with zero failures. Orion AI is live on Galatic.ai, and this post is the honest version of how we got here: the screenshots of what broke, what we fixed, and a step-by-step guide so you can make one yourself.
Watch: the two-minute tour
Everything in the video is a real screen recording from galatic.ai. The narrator in the corner is me, in a way: my Galatic.ai voice clone, lip-synced onto a photo of me in one continuous take with Kling Avatar, the same lip-sync model we use for Gobi Da Nobi and Luna Rey.
Meet Orion
Orion is the assistant on the Galatic.ai home page. You don't pick models or wire up tools. You say what you want to make, whether that's a song, a video, a voiceover or a whole music video, and Orion asks the few questions it needs and does the rest.
What broke on the way
It did not start pretty. On September 19, our first music video runs sat at "0 of 1 scenes complete." Auto Publish timed out before a post could finish. Template thumbnails came back 403. And one lip-sync pass painted a black smear right over our singer's mouth.
We kept every one of these screenshots, because they're the honest version of building in public.
Tutorial: turn a song into a lip-synced music video
Step 1. Sign in, open Flow Studio and tell Orion: "I want to make a music video." Pick your song, choose your performer's photo, and describe the look you want.
Step 2. Orion builds the whole pipeline for you. It reads your lyrics first, splits the song into scenes, directs each shot, generates the video and lip-syncs the performance. You see the plan before anything runs.
Run it, then fix only what you want
Step 3. Hit run and watch the scenes come in. Orion tells you what it is doing at each stage.
Step 4. Open your video. Every scene sits on a timeline. If one shot isn't right, select it, tell Orion what to change ("she should be singing here") or just re-roll it, and only those scenes are redone. Everything else is reused.
The result
That's how Luna Rey's Dreams Come True came together: 27 scenes, real lip-sync, one song. Luna Rey is an AI artist; her voice, her face and every scene are AI-generated, and the video was made on Galatic.ai.
What's next
Orion is live now at galatic.ai, and Flow Studio is waiting in your account. Make something, break something, and tell me what you want next.
