So guys, you must have noticed that these torch cartoon character videos are going extremely viral right now. This is a completely new trend, and people are loving it a lot. That’s why many creators want to make these videos.
The good thing is, you can create these videos using AI only. Yes, no complicated editing, no advanced skills needed. In this article, I will explain the complete process step by step, so read carefully till the end.
Step 1: Create a Cartoon Character Image Using Google Gemini
First of all, you need to go to Google Gemini.
When you open Google Gemini, you will see the option “Create Image”. Click on that. Before moving forward, make sure you create your account if you haven’t already. If your account is already created, then simply continue.
Now, inside the Create Image section, you will see a plus (+) icon at the bottom. Click on it and go to your gallery.
Here, you need a cartoon-style character image. That means whichever character you want to turn into a torch cartoon video, you must have its image.
For example, I uploaded a cartoon character image that I want to convert into a video.
After uploading the image, you need to paste a prompt. I will provide this prompt on my Telegram channel, so you can easily copy and paste it.
Once the prompt is pasted, click on the Send button.
Within a few seconds, your image will be generated. It usually takes around 40–50 seconds maximum.
As you can see, a very realistic cartoon-style image is ready. Now long-press on the image and save it to your device.

Step 2: Convert the Image into a Video Using Groco AI
Now it’s time to convert this image into a video.
For image-to-video conversion, we will use an app called Groco AI. This app is also available on the Google Play Store.
Simply open Groco AI and go to the Image section.
Upload the image that you created using Google Gemini.
Once you upload the image, Groco AI will automatically generate a video for you. But the default video may not be exactly how you want it.
We want to create the video in our own style, not just the app’s default style.
Step 3: Use Text Prompt to Customize the Video
To customize the video, you need to tell the AI exactly how you want the video to look.
For that, scroll down and click on “Type to Custom Video”.
Here, you need to enter a text prompt describing the video style. I will also share different prompts on my Telegram channel for various styles.
Use the uploaded image of the character as an exact reference. Preserve the original proportions, materials, colors, textures, and facial features. Do not alter the design and do not stylize the character. A first-person point-of-view shot inside an abandoned space [LOCATION TYPE: television studio/advertising set/real filming location]. The viewer is holding a flashlight, creating a single circular beam of light while the rest of the space is engulfed in darkness. In the flashlight beam, it is visible that the character is positioned as if it was left behind after filming: [POSITION: lying on the floor/curled up in a corner/leaning against a table/slumped against a wall]. The character must appear completely lifeless and inactive: no action, no intentional pose, no sense of presence. If it is a doll or a costume, there must be no visible hands, rods, strings, or person inside. The character appears old, dirty, and abandoned: worn fabric, accumulated dust, stains, discoloration, flattened or damaged areas. The environment is clearly abandoned: dusty surfaces, old filming equipment, cables scattered on the floor, faded signs or set decorations. Dust particles float within the flashlight beam; the space feels silent and untouched for years. Photorealistic flashlight-based lighting, harsh shadows, rough textures, documentary realism, on-location shooting aesthetics, no stylization Aspect Ratio 9:16
Create Image
After entering the prompt, click on the Send button.
As soon as you click Send, the video generation will start again. It doesn’t take much time. Within a few minutes, your video will be ready.
The camera represents a real human point of view walking slowly inside the same location. Movement is grounded and realistic: subtle vertical bob from footsteps, gentle side-to-side sway, imperfect handheld motion. The viewer is holding a flashlight; the beam reacts naturally to walking and turning with delayed movement, small overcorrections, uneven scanning. The character remains completely still and lifeless: no animation, no blinking, no breathing, no movement. Only environmental motion: floating dust, minimal light flicker, very subtle movement of loose elements.The environment stays consistent the whole shot: no set changes, no teleporting, no new objects. Photorealistic video, found-footage realism, handheld walking camera, low light, strong shadows, gritty textures, natural imperfections
