How to make an AI Bigfoot vlog

1. 1

   Design your creature

   Pick a creature and one detail that makes it yours: a trucker cap, a fanny pack, a tiny backpack. Make a clear picture in the image studio and save it as a Character so it gets an @handle, or describe it the same way in every prompt.

2. 2

   Open the video studio on Seedance 2.5 and turn audio on

   Set 9:16. Generated audio does not change the price.

3. 3

   Write it like a vlog

   Handheld selfie at arm's length, slight shake, the creature talking straight to the lens. Then one small story: a found object, a complaint about campers, a food review. Put the line in braces with the tone: (excited, out of breath): {...}.

4. 4

   Generate

   Test the idea first: 24 credits for 5 seconds at 720p. The finished clip is 47 credits for 10 seconds at 720p. The exact price is on the Generate button before anything is charged, and failed generations give the credits back.

5. 5

   Make it a series

   Post the same character daily with a running joke. One clip can run up to 30 seconds; join several in the free video editor for a longer vlog.

• Day in the woods (the classic)

  Vertical selfie vlog, handheld phone held at arm's length, slight camera shake. A tall, shaggy brown Bigfoot with a friendly face and a backwards trucker cap walks through a misty pine forest in the morning, talking to the camera like an influencer. His line (excited, a little out of breath): {Okay guys, day three in the woods. Somebody left a camping chair out here. I'm keeping it.} He turns the camera to show a folding chair by a tent, then back to his grinning face. Soft morning light through the trees. Audio: his voice, birdsong, footsteps on pine needles. No subtitles, no music.

• Yeti cooking show

  Vertical selfie vlog, phone propped on a rock, slightly low angle. A white, fluffy Yeti with a knitted scarf stands at a small camping stove on a snowy mountain ledge, frying an egg. His line (calm, proud): {Today we're making breakfast at four thousand metres. Step one: find an egg. Step two: don't ask where I found the egg.} He flips the egg and it lands perfectly. Bright cold sunlight, wind in the fur. Audio: his voice, sizzling, howling wind. No subtitles, no music.

• Alien road trip

  Vertical selfie vlog filmed from the passenger seat of an old pickup truck on a desert highway at sunset. A small grey alien with big black eyes and a souvenir cowboy hat drives with one hand and talks to the phone. Its line (cheerful, slightly robotic): {Earth update. I have discovered gas station nachos. I am never going home.} It holds up a tray of nachos. Warm golden light, dusty windows. Audio: its voice, engine hum, wind through the window. No subtitles, no music.
