The Watermelon Song is an animated Arabic children's song, about three and a half minutes long, with a video made by Sawa Films. It is a playful piece for young children built around one simple subject: the watermelon.
About the Film
In the lyrics, the watermelon describes itself: green on the outside, red at heart, with black seeds, and it invites you to eat it. The words are short and they repeat, and they name three colours: green, red and black.
The video sets the song in a bright animated world. The colours are vivid, the movement is bouncy, and the characters and scenes are cut to the beat of the song. The aim was pictures as catchy as the chorus, bright and fun enough that children want to watch it again.
How It Was Made
The characters and scenes were generated with AI. Like every Sawa Films production, the work started with the story, the script and the storyboard, then AI produced the shots, and a person reviewed every frame. The work moved through the studio's six phases: brief, concept & script, storyboard, image design, motion & sound, and final edit.
Sawa Films offers AI music video production for songs like this one. If you have a song that needs a video, send us your brief.
