About AI Trailer Home

How It Started

AI Trailer Home was created on October 1st 2024 on YouTube as an experiment to see what was possible with AI. At the time, the goal was simple: make retro-style AI trailers in the spirit of 1950s Super Panavision 70, and retell the Star Wars prequels with a slightly unhinged sense of humour.

The prequels were chosen specifically because… well… someone had to give them attention.

The first trailer for The Phantom Menace hit around 150,000 views pretty quickly, which was the moment things stopped being “an experiment” and started becoming “apparently this is a thing now”.

Things Escalate (As They Do)

After the early Star Wars trailers, things naturally spiralled into current affairs, bizarre internet moments, and basically anything that looked like it deserved an unnecessarily dramatic AI trailer treatment.

Somewhere along the way the channel evolved from: “What if the prequels were made in 1957?” into: “What if absolutely everything on the internet was turned into a parody musical?”

• Snow White parody trailers
• The “Woke Jaguar” reaction era
• Doctor Who Christmas special commentary chaos
• LA Fire Department hiring discourse
• Various internet meltdowns that probably shouldn’t have been songs… but became songs anyway

One of the first major breakout hits was the parody version of the Snow White trailer, which quickly passed a million views. That was around the point I realised timing on YouTube mattered almost as much as the actual video itself.

Sometimes you could spend 50 hours making something cinematic and beautiful only for the algorithm to shrug at it like: “nah.”

Things slowed down a little during the first half of 2025, but then came the moment where everything escalated completely: “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans”.

The video exploded to 1.8 million views and promptly escaped containment across the internet. It was shown in full on Benny Johnson’s podcast, endlessly re-uploaded across social media, and people constantly asked for a Spotify release.

Unfortunately, my organisational skills at the time could best be described as “creative chaos”, so it took until well into 2026 before I finally got around to distributing the AI songs themselves.

But better late than never.

The Community Era

By this point the channel had built a real audience — thousands of comments, tens of thousands of likes, and a steady stream of people who kept showing up for whatever the next completely normal and rational upload was going to be.

That’s really what kept it going. At some point it stopped feeling like “content creation” and became something closer to: “well… now I kind of HAVE to keep doing this.”

I’ll be honest — despite many projects taking 40–50 hours to make by that stage — creating AI videos became a bit of an addiction. And chasing the YouTube algorithm is probably not healthy for any human being.

The algorithm also had this amazing ability to completely discourage experimentation. For example, revisiting Star Wars in a musical format — something I personally thought worked out incredibly well and was very dramatic — would sometimes get around 100 views in 12 hours, while other uploads would get that in 10 minutes.

So after a while you start learning what the machine “likes,” even when there isn’t always much logic to it. Some videos would explode instantly, others would get buried for reasons known only to whatever algorithm runs the recommendation system.

But despite all that, the subscribers, comments, support, Patreon signups, YouTube membership signups and Fanvue subscribers kept making it worth continuing.

The YouTube Situation™

The channel was demonetised in December 2025 and eventually terminated in March 2026 after reaching around 70,000 subscribers and roughly 100 videos.

Which is, technically speaking, “not bad” for an AI experiment that was supposed to last a weekend.

At that point, continuing on YouTube wasn’t really viable anymore due to increasing restrictions that made creative workflow feel more like compliance paperwork.

What Happens Now

So the content moved elsewhere — and more importantly, here.

The goal is simple: rebuild the full library, keep making new videos, and continue the chaos without algorithmic interference.

Thanks for watching — and yes, AI Trailer Home is still going.
