Key Points:
• PJ shares his complete process for creating viral AI videos that has helped scale his agency to six and seven figures in months
• The workflow involves scripting, creating shot lists with ChatGPT, generating images with Rev, animating with VO3, and final editing
• Using recognizable IP, juxtapositions, and internet-native content helps videos gain traction and views
• PJ discusses how OpenAI’s Sora may disrupt current workflows but believes creative ideas will remain the most valuable asset
1) The End-to-End AI Video Creation Process
PJ’s agency scaled to 7-figures in MONTHS using this workflow:
• Script → ChatGPT shot list → Figma board → Image generation → VO3 animation → Final edit
The key? Start with COMEDY. People laugh = less AI pushback + higher engagement.
2) The Script is Everything
For viral AI ads, PJ recommends:
• Use recognizable IP (Pompeii, Titanic, Marie Antoinette)
• Create juxtapositions that make people lean forward
• End with internet-native references (meme coins, NFTs)
3) Image-First Approach over Direct Text-to-Video
GAME-CHANGER: Don’t generate videos directly from text!
Instead:
• Take script to ChatGPT
• Generate detailed image prompts for each scene
• Create multiple image variations using Rev app ([app.rev.com](http://app.rev.com/))
• Iterate conversationally: "Make this a close-up" or "Add more dock workers"
4) The Reve App Secret Weapon
• Gives 3 variations of every prompt
• Allows conversational iteration
• Creates PHOTOREALISTIC characters
• Maintains consistency across scenes
Even non-filmmakers can create professional-looking shots without understanding camera angles.
5) VO3 Animation: Making Characters Talk
Once you have your perfect images:
• Upload your image to VO3 as a starting frame
• Add your dialogue prompt
• Let VO3 animate the talking and movements
6) Advanced Hacks for Better Results
PJ’s secret sauce:
• Include reference images WITHIN your upload to guide VO3
• For example: Hide Beanie Babies in your image so VO3 knows what to reveal
• Use picture-in-picture to show what you want the camera to pan to
• Always use FAST mode in Google Flow (80% quality at fraction of cost)
These tricks create impossible-to-create moments that look REAL.
7) The Editing & Tools Breakdown
For final assembly:
• CapCut (free, simple)
• DaVinci Resolve (free, intermediate)
• Premiere ($19/mo, professional)
• Final Cut (one-time purchase, Mac only)
8) The Sora Disruption
PJ admits: "Sora will disrupt our existing workflow."
Soon Sora will:
• Auto-generate scripts
• Create images AND videos
• Add sound effects and music
• Extend beyond 10-second clips
