📢 THE AI FILMMAKER CHALLENGE: Make AI Feel Real
UPDATE (Feb 9): Prize structure change Quick update so this is crystal clear. This challenge is no longer affiliate commission based. Instead, I will award $250 cash to the winning ad if I feel there is a clear winner that I would actually run as an official Meta ad. If there is no clear winner, I may choose not to award the prize. Everything else in the challenge stays the same. To avoid confusion, please ignore the older section that mentions 40 percent affiliate commission. The current prize is $250. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Filmmakers, new challenge time. This one is about a shift in taste. No more plastic AI skin. No more floaty movement. No more characters that change every shot. The goal is simple: make something that feels human enough that someone forgets it was made with AI. Use the script below as your foundation. You can use it word for word, or tweak it to match your voice and pacing, but keep the core message intact. Build a short film that proves you can direct past the obvious AI look. SCRIPT I am tired of AI looking like plastic. The fake-looking skin, the weird movements, the robotic voices… it feels fake because it is. I’m tired of characters that glitch and change in every shot. It’s not a story if you can’t tell who the main character is. I want visuals that feel real. I want the shaky camera that feels human. I want shadows that look like they belong there, not like a mistake. Inside the AI Filmmaker Lab, we are moving past that AI look. We stopped asking for cool pictures and started acting like real directors. Our way of working is simple: Prompt. Direct. Publish. We are bringing back the little mistakes that make a shot feel like a real story. Perfect is boring. If it looks like AI, people will not care. There is a new way of doing things inside the Lab. Join a fast-growing group of creators who are leaving the perfect look behind to make something that feels 100 percent real.
