1950s style AI Parody Trailer of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
Originally uploaded on 1st of October 2024.
This was the very first AI Trailer Home video and it quickly became a success reaching 150K+ views.
It started the ball rolling, allowed monetisation to happen almost straight away.
AI Trailer Home continued with AI Trailers for a while but also pivoted to current affairs and the political AI Music Video
format which would go more viral than this ever did.

This was a fun video to make and pretty formulaic at the time. There were only two viable tools that could do the job: Midjourney and Runway 4 (I think the version was at the time). I think prior to this AI video looked very rubbery and not convincing.I arrived at the scene at the right time, just as things were becoming very serious.
I enjoyed my own sexy takes on the AI parody trailers but it quickly highlighted to me that my humour could go beyond just movies and making more fun of current affairs (that sometimes still did include movies actually!).
Fun to look back at how it all started for me.
