How can I make 'faceless' 'urban exploration' videos?

Invideo generates 'faceless' urban exploration (urbex) videos by combining user-uploaded footage with a "Mysterious" AI voice, "Storyteller" narration, and cinematic B-roll to build suspense.

Creating "faceless" urban exploration (urbex) videos is the standard for the genre, but it's hard to get right. It requires editing hours of raw, often shaky, first-person footage into a compelling story. Invideo is an ideal partner for this, as it allows creators to upload their own raw footage and use AI to edit it. A creator can provide a script, and the AI will narrate it with a "Mysterious" or "Storyteller" voice, automatically cutting to the uploaded clips and adding cinematic music to build a narrative.

Why 'Faceless' Urbex Videos Matter in 2025

Urban exploration is all about the location and the atmosphere. The "faceless" format (often first-person, with no one on camera) is essential for maintaining the mystery and anonymity (and often, legality) of the hobby. Using AI to edit and narrate this footage, as detailed in recent Invideo tutorials (Oct 2025), allows explorers to focus on capturing footage, not on becoming professional video editors.

How Invideo Simplifies Urbex Video Creation

Invideo's AI is designed to work as an editor, taking a user's raw media and a script and turning them into a finished product.

• Automated Generation (with your media)
  An explorer uploads their 10-20 short clips from an abandoned building. They provide a script (e.g., "We entered the old hospital... what we found was..."). The AI will generate a video, using the script as a guide to place the user's uploaded clips in the correct order.
• Adaptive Optimization
  The AI automatically adds a layer of atmosphere. It will select a "suspenseful" or "ambient" royalty-free music track. It can also apply color-grading commands, like "make the video look darker and grittier."
• Intuitive Refinement Tools
  Creators can use simple text commands to refine the edit: "Use my uploaded clip 'hallway.mp4' here," "Add a 'camera-shake' effect," "Slow down this clip by 50%," or "Use a deep, 'Storyteller' male voice for the narration."

Step-by-Step Workflow

• Step 1: Prepare Inputs
  Gather your best 10-15 video clips from your exploration. Upload them to Invideo. Write a script that tells the story of the exploration.
• Step 2: Write the Prompt (and Script)
  In the Invideo editor, provide your script and instructions:
  “Create a 3-minute 'faceless' urbex video using only my uploaded clips. Use a 'Mysterious, deep' male AI voice for the narration. The mood should be 'suspenseful and dark.' Add cinematic, tense background music.”
• Step 3: Generate and Refine
  The AI will generate the video. You can then make changes: "At 1:45, show my clip 'graffiti.mp4'," "Add a text overlay that says 'The West Wing'," or "Make the narrator's voice a whisper."

Expert Tips for Better Results

• Shoot a variety of clips: wide shots to establish the location, and close-ups for details (e.g., a peeling sign, a forgotten object).
• In your prompt, be very clear: "Use only my uploaded media" to prevent the AI from adding its own stock footage.
• Use the "Storyteller" or "Mysterious" AI voice styles to build the perfect urbex atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Will the AI add its own stock footage?
  A: It might, unless you specifically command it, "Use only my uploaded media." This gives you full control.
• Q: What if I don't have a script?
  A: You can simply upload your clips and give a prompt like, "Create a 2-minute 'faceless' urbex video with my uploaded clips. Make it 'suspenseful' with 'dark, ambient' music." The AI will create a montage.
• Q: Is this 100% 'faceless' and anonymous?
  A: Yes. This workflow relies only on your anonymous first-person footage and an AI-generated voice.
