Tik Tok Dance Workflow (Mimic Motion + Animate Diff) — v1.0

Introduction

This workflow uses Mimic Motion to generate the motion of the character and animate diff to create a 16 frame looping video of the background. Grounding Dino is then used to composite the character and background together. Best used with a driving video where the camera is static and all the motion is done by the dancer.

The motivation is to leverage the strengths of both models to create as consistent a video as possible.

Limitations

If you watch the video above, you will realise that the dancer's interaction with her hair is not animated properly. The is due to the fact that Mimic Motion takes as input Open Pose information. If the depth information is used as well, the interaction with her hair would be animated properly.

Nodes

Nodes are colour coded:

Red: These models must be downloaded and placed in the appropriate folders. After downloading, refresh ComfyUI and ensure the correct models are selected.

Green: These nodes are models that will be automatically downloaded

Blue: These are user inputs, either a video with the original dance moves or a prompt / setting.

Brown: These are comments that should explain what is going on with the workflow.

Some models automatically download, some models are downloaded using ComfyUI manager and others have to be downloaded and placed in their respective folders manually.

AnimateLCM: https://huggingface.co/wangfuyun/AnimateLCM Put AnimateLCM_sd15_t2v.ckpt in "models/animatediff_models" and put AnimateLCM_sd15_t2v_lora.safetensors in "models/loras"

SD1.5 Checkpoint: you can use your favourite depending on the type of video you are generating (realistic / anime). I use Realistic Vision as I am aiming for a realistic generation.
