hey, the video guy behind this one 👋 1.9M views. $0 spent. a lot of people are calling this the best AI-generated video they've seen in a while (@theo was one of them🐐) and the funniest thing is, i started making videos like this only 2 weeks ago 😭😭 A lot of people have been DMing me asking how i made it, so here you go. quick backstory: i'm just a random 20-year-old engineering student from india, currently interning at Thine AI. about 3 weeks ago, my founder and manager told me: "Nikhil, just make cool stuff. forget about promoting the product." so that's exactly what i did. since then i've been spending way too much time experimenting with different ideas. my exams are also happening this month, but who cares 😭 i tried a bunch of different versions before this, some inspired by the goat @adilmania, some completely random, but none of them really felt right. then this one finally clicked. okay, enough yapping. here's the secret sauce: for brainstorming and scripting, akanksha and i mostly use @ThineAI . coz random ideas hit at weird times, and it helps organize all of them. it also knows my storytelling style a little too well at this point 😭 for video generation, i used kling 3.0 through @invideoOfficial . the workflow is super organized, which makes iterating much faster (@_sankyy crazy product🙌) everything else was just trial and error, late nights, and obsessing over tiny details that very few people even noticed. but that's the whole point. you have to go the extra mile to make your video 1% better. and in this era of copy-pasting, that 1% is the breaking factor period
