How to create this construction time-lapse effect
You can do this with landmarks, houses, skyscrapers, or even entire cities 👇🏽
1️⃣ Take a photo
I used the Dubai skyline, but any city or building works.
2️⃣ Open .ai in your browser
Select Nano Banana Pro.
3️⃣ Upload your photo
Paste the prompt.
Don’t worry about it now. Just comment banana 🍌 and I’ll send you all prompts + a short breakdown.
4️⃣ Set your output
Choose 9x16
Set quality to at least 2K
Hit Generate
5️⃣ Animate the build-up
Go to Create Video
Choose Kling 2.5 Turbo
6️⃣ Select your frames
Start frame: the empty land version
End frame: the original photo
7️⃣ Paste the animation prompt
Hit Generate
And that’s it ✨
If you want the exact prompts and a quick walkthrough, comment “banana” and I’ll send everything over.
