WTF did I just make?

I gave Veo 3 one of SNL’s most bizarre dialogues — “Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey” — and this happened.

AI comedy channels are about to 10x the views of network TV. This took me 3 hours. 

Try this prompt for yourself 👇🏼 

A cinematic film handheld shaky camera close-up shot of a spaced-out hippie guy (late 20s, with long hair and a dazed expression), sitting on a crate behind the Woodstock 1969 stage, slowly smoking a cigarette. He stares past the camera as he says (dialogue). Shot on retro 16mm with grain, soft focus, and dusty festival atmosphere. Background includes tangled cables, worn amps, and someone tuning an instrument just off-frame.

I used to shoot $500k pharmaceutical commercials. 

I made this for $500 in Veo 3 credits in less than a day.

What’s the argument for spending $500K now?

(Steal my prompt below 👇🏼) 

This was made entirely in Veo 3 (text to video). 

I can't believe that making an ad is this easy. Shooting something like this would have taken me and 50 crew members over 2 months from script to final edit. 

Here's my prompt for the opening shot 👇🏼

Muted colors, somber muted lighting. A woman, SARAH (50s), sits on a couch in a cluttered living room.
She speaks (melancholic, slightly trembling voice) “I tried everything for my depression, nothing worked.”

I then worked with Grok/ChatGPT on the rest of the script (I wrote most of it but it helps me come up with the ideas). 

Once the script was done, I then had it create a shot list based on that prompt structure. 

13 shots. 5-10 gens per shot to get right. About $500 in credits.

If you want to learn more about how I made this, I'll provide a fuller breakdown in my upcoming newsletter.
