1. Introduction: The Power of AI-Generated Viral Videos

• AI video models like V3 can create "insane" and attention-grabbing videos suitable for social media.
• The key is using effective prompts to guide the AI.
• The video will share specific prompts used to create viral AI videos.
• A link to all prompts and a customizable template is provided in the description.

2. JSON Prompt Format: The Structure for Success

• The video uses a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format for prompts.
• JSON is used for communication between APIs and image models.
• The prompt is broken down into components:
  • description: Overall scene description.
  • style: Artistic style (e.g., pixel art, retro gaming).
  • camera: Camera angle and perspective (e.g., first-person).
  • lighting: Lighting conditions (e.g., low lighting).
  • environment: Setting and surroundings.
  • elements: Specific objects or characters in the scene.
  • scenes: Breakdown of the video into different scenes.
• Example: Using Clipyard to input a JSON prompt.
• Clipyard allows uploading a video and getting it described with AI.

3. Case Study 1: First-Person Pixel Art Gaming Videos

• These videos are currently very popular.
• Example prompt:
  • description: "A short pixel art animation presenting a first-person perspective of a character, the entrance of a dark forest path."
  • style: "pixel art and retro gaming"
  • camera: "first person's perspective"
  • lighting: "low lighting conditions"
• Clipyard can add sound effects to enhance the video (e.g., torch effects).

4. Case Study 2: IKEA Exploding Box Ad

• This ad uses an "exploding" transition to reveal IKEA furniture.
• Prompt details:
  • Aspect ratio: 16:9
  • description: "A large empty room" with a "wide-angled shot."
  • Key element: "A sealed IKEA box with a very visible logo."
  • Assembled elements: "A bed with a duvet, a yellow IKEA throw blanket," etc.
  • Action: The box explodes, revealing the furniture.
• Audio is added to enhance the effect (pop when the box opens, hush when the blanket lands).

5. Using Initial Images to Guide AI Video Generation

• AI video models can use an initial image as a starting point.
• Example: Using a hyperrealistic AI avatar from Clipyard's "real or vibe" models as the first frame.
• Prompt: "A day in the life of a particular person talking through what they're doing."
  • Scene 1: Getting ready for work.
  • Scene 2: Going to work.
  • Scene 3: At work (e.g., as a judge or lawyer).

6. Case Study 3: ASMR Fruit Cutting Videos

• These videos are popular on TikTok and Instagram.
• Prompt example:
  • description: "A 4K ASMR video of a person slicing through a dragon fruit on a wooden cutting board."
  • Details about the dragon fruit's appearance (hyperrealistic detail, vibrant pink skin, etc.).
  • Motion: "The knife is smoothly pressing through the fruit, cutting into perfect, even slices..."
  • ASMR sounds: "Clean slicing sounds for the knife through the soft fruit, subtle squaltching sounds..."

7. Case Study 4: LEGO Exploding Box Ad

• Similar to the IKEA ad, but with LEGO bricks.
• Prompt:
  • description: "A cinematic shot of a child's bedroom at night."
  • A sealed Lego box on the floor.
  • Action: "Lego bricks suddenly explode out of the box and then assemble a particular Lego item in real time" (e.g., a spaceship).
  • No dialogue, cool moonlit lighting.

8. Seamless Looping in AI Videos

• AI video models can create seamless loops by beginning and ending with the same frame.
• Example: A tennis advert.
• Prompt:
  • description: "A hyperrealistic macro tennis ball sitting against a black background. It then slowly starts to crack open like a shell to reveal a surreal spherical interior with a miniature clay court embedded within the flat line shell. A female tennis player stands centered in the middle third."
  • Action: The ball cracks open, the camera pans in as the player strikes the ball, and the loop resolves with the ball closing back over.

9. Case Study 5: Community Theater Performance

• A comedic and DIY aesthetic.
• Prompt:
  • description: "A small town community theater performance of The Legend of Zelda."
  • Stage decorated with hand-painted cardboard cutouts.
  • Actors in homemade costumes.
  • style: "comedic, theatrical, and kind of low-fi DIY aesthetic."
  • Motion: Actors behaving dramatically, cardboard rupees being tossed.
  • Breakdown into scenes (e.g., 0-2 seconds, 2-3 seconds, 3-5 seconds).

10. Case Study 6: Nike Trainer Reveal Ad

• Transition from the Nike logo to a new trainer.
• Prompt:
  • description: "A cinematic shot of a dark textured backlit illuminated by cool directorial lighting. The Nike swoosh hovers in the midair glowing faintly.

12. Case Study 8: Chewy Pet Supplies Ad

• An ad completely made with AI.
• Prompt:
  • description: "A cinematic shot of a dew covered backyard patio at sunrise. A chewy box sits on the grass. It suddenly busts open with a soft pop and pet supplies magically fly into position around a sunlit outdoor pet lounge. A dog then sprints out of the house and happily spraws on his new bed."
  • Wide-angle camera.
  • Specific ending: The dog jumps out of the house, grabs a toy, and flops on the bed.

13. Case Study 9: 2D Video Game Mockup

15. Case Study 11: Tourism Promotion Video

• Promoting a town or city.
• Prompt:
  • description: "A cinematic shot of a sunlit white backdrop. A folded American flag lies still at the center. A gentle breeze stirs its edges. Slowly, the flag begins to unfold and ripple in elegant slow motion. As it rises, its fabric dissolves into radiant beams of red, white, and blue light. The streams spiral outward, expanding across the scene to form a vibrant, growing American city. With the Statue of Liberty emerging, skyscrapers rising, and suburban neighborhoods taking shape."
  • Specify elements in the flag (e.g., the capital dome).

16. Case Study 12: Amazon Box Reveal Ad

• Exploding transition to reveal a bedroom filled with products.
• Prompt:
  • description: "A photorealistic cinematic shot of an empty whitewalled bedroom with brown hardwood floors and soft daylight streaming in through the windows.

  • Add specific products to promote (e.g., Harry Potter bedding, a dragon plushy).

17. Case Study 13: Yeti POV Selfie Vlog

• A Yeti talking about seeing humans.
• Prompt:
  • description: "POV shot of a realistic Yeti holding a GoPro selfie stick as he walks along a winding forest path. The style is comedic and light-hearted, resembling a casual vlog. The camera bobs slightly with each step, capturing the yeti's large, furry hand, gripping the selfie stick and the dappled sunlight filtering through dense trees. The forest floor is littered with fallen leaves and exposed roots. And after a few steps, the Yeti glances at the camera with a tired but playful expression before stopping and leaning against a tree."
