Marketing Strategist & Large Language Marketers Founder Umar Nazir is going cadid on his LinkedIn about how Pakistani students can not only gain free AI access, but bring out the inner artists in them.
Experimenting with tools like Google Gemini Pro, Midjourney, NanoBanana, and Veo 3, he recently shared a LinkedIn walkthrough detailing how anyone can now conceptualize, design, and even animate an entire short film without traditional animation pipelines.
Nazir’s post broke down his process step by step, from sketching an idea to generating scenes and producing a full Pixar-inspired sequence. What drew attention was not just the art itself, but how he used multiple AI platforms together after gaining free access to Google Gemini Pro through the company’s student plan.
“Recently got access to Gemini Pro (for FREE!) through the student package,” Nazir wrote. “My weird creative brain couldn’t resist experimenting. I took something I originally made on Midjourney and reimagined it using Google Gemini, giving it a whole new vibe.”
He shared side-by-side visuals of both versions, describing Gemini’s reinterpretation as “a whole new creative direction.” Now out of monthly credits, Nazir joked that he’s “jotting down all my ideas for next month,” signing off with: “Nanobanana is officially my best friend — should I try vibe coding next?”
In his creative breakdown, Nazir outlined a simple, accessible pipeline that blends storytelling with AI generation:
He began with an imaginative idea of a kangaroo police officer, and defined the visual style somewhere between Pixar realism and stylized illustration. With ChatGPT’s help, he refined his concept into detailed prompts.
Using Midjourney and NanoBanana, Nazir created both close-up and full-body renders to polish the character’s proportions, attire, and color tone.
He crafted a playful plot, a kangaroo cop chasing a tiger cub who steals a child’s bike. Each scene was generated as an image sequence, evolving the story visually.
By combining Midjourney’s static art with Veo 3’s motion-generation tools, Nazir converted frames into dynamic cartoon scenes, later reimagining the same character as an elite soldier in an action sequence.
Nazir’s hybrid workflow, merging Gemini Pro’s interpretation, Midjourney’s artistry, and Veo 3’s animation, highlights how AI tools are converging into unified creative ecosystems. His project demonstrates how students can now produce cinematic-quality storytelling with minimal resources and maximum imagination.
Free student access programs like Google’s are making once-exclusive AI technologies widely available. For the creative industry, experiments like Nazir’s signal a shift, where concept art, animation, and film editing increasingly blend into one seamless AI-driven process.
Here is how Nazir elaborates steps to get free Gemini subscription for Pakistani students:
Step #1
https://gemini.google/students/ – go to this website & click on “Get Offer”
Step #2
Sign in using your account and fill a form
Step #3
Google will make you verify SheerID – this is basically verification of your student ID
Step #4
You have to enter you card details, and don’t worry it’s free for the 1st year with easy cancellation process, if you cancel your plan before the year is complete there will be no charge (when you enter the card – there might be a small fee of PKR 70 deduction but that is their way of checking if the card you provided is authentic)
Step #5
Enjoy your Gemini pro plan!
“It’s not about replacing Pixar,” Nazir said. “It’s about showing that one person, a laptop, and some imagination can build a story that feels cinematic.”
His mix of humor and experimentation, from naming Nanobanana his “best friend” to exploring “vibe coding,” captures the spirit of a new creative generation. For many young storytellers, this is a great way to explore their capabilities with new digital tools.
