With the help of AI tools, you can enhance the creative phase of your short video production. Follow this tutorial to create a short video proposal from a simple idea in just 8 minutes and experience the power of AI!

Finding Inspiration:

I made myself a cup of iced Americano coffee in the office and found the taste quite good. Recently, Starbucks iced Americano coffee has been selling well, and many consumers are interested in the process.

Creating a short video seems promising, let's get started!

First, let's refine our inspiration by adding some details. Since ChatGPT has strong understanding capabilities, we can simply write casually, just like chatting with someone. This passage will be used as input for the AI tools:

1. After many attempts, I finally recreated a cup of iced Americano coffee in the office. How did I do it?

2. Materials used: an ice cup from a convenience store (¥3) with ice cubes inside; medium roasted Sidamo coffee beans; 3 Starbucks Mint candies. The total cost was less than ¥4.

3. How it's made: First, I made a cup of hand-brewed iced coffee, then added the grinded Mint candy.

4. Taste: It has a long-lasting coolness, and even after drinking it, my throat feels cool. It's already quite close to the taste of iced Americano coffee.

Completing the Creative Proposal Using AI Tools:

In this example, we have already solved the creative aspect, so what we need is to refine the production. We only need to follow 4 steps using 4 AI tools:

1.Create a catchy title for dissemination: Popular Short Video Title Generator (https://echotik.live/tool/ai/1007).

2.Craft a hook for the short video: Popular short video hook creation tool (https://echotik.live/tool/ai/1008).

4.Generate tags for the short video: Bulk generation of short video tags (https://echotik.live/tool/ai/1003).

1.Create a catchy title:

Use the "Popular Short Video Title Generator" tool at the following URL: (https://echotik.live/tool/ai/1007). Input according to the image below:After a few seconds, the AI will generate 10 titles. AI is great at naming. After reviewing them, I found one title that sounds good, so I chose it:

Unbelievable! I made a Delicious Cup of Iced Americano Coffee Using Only ¥4 Worth of ingredients.

2. Craft a hook for the short video:

The short video hook can be placed at the beginning of the video to capture the viewers' interest within 3-5 seconds, thereby increasing the video's completion rate.

We will use the "Popular short video hook creation tool" available at: https://echotik.live/tool/ai/1008. Input according to the image below:

Again, after a few seconds, the AI will generate 10 hook copy variations. AI really is good at marketing. After a quick look, I feel that this hook most likely to engage viewers to watch the entire video:

[Pro tip] Are you tired of spending a fortune on iced coffee? Here's a cost-effective recipe that you need to try!

1. 3. Generate the Script for the Short Video (based on themes):

Try to input the title and hook generated before in the title section, AI would make a good use of former contents.

|Take "Unbelievable! I made a Delicious Cup of Iced Americano Coffee Using Only ¥4 Worth of ingredients." as the short video title.

|Use "[Pro tip] Are you tired of spending a fortune on iced coffee? Here's a cost-effective recipe that you need to try!" as the short video hook.

Next, let's use the "Generate the Script for the Short Video (based on themes)" tool to generate the script for the short video. The tool can be found at: https://echotik.live/tool/ai/1004. 

Input the information as shown in the image:

As shown in the image, after generating two times, AI produced a script that I am quite satisfied with. Additionally, it provided more suggestions based on the title I previously generated.

I decided to take AI's advice and changed the title to: "Office Coffee Hacks: How I Recreated Iced Americano for Less Than ¥4!"

Furthermore, AI provided several shooting suggestions:

• Add a time-lapse of the coffee brewing process to make it more visually appealing.
• Include shots of the person enjoying the iced Americano in different settings, such as at their desk or in a relaxing area.
• Consider adding captions or text overlays to highlight key steps or ingredients.
• Use warm and cozy lighting to create a comfortable atmosphere.
• Experiment with different camera angles and movements to add visual interest.

I like the suggestion about different camera angles, so I took it!

4. Generate Tags for the Short Video:

I decided to let AI generate the tags instead of coming up with them myself. The tool can be found at: https://echotik.live/tool/ai/1003. Input the information as shown in the image:

That works! I'll use these tags. However, please note that AI can only recommend based on limited data, so it's advisable to check the current popular tags at the time of publishing:

#CoffeeLovers, #IcedCoffee, #DIYCoffee, #OfficeBrew, #CoffeeHacks

Completing the Short Video Proposal:

In total, it took about 8 minutes and utilized 4 AI tools, generating a total of 9 iterations, resulting in a relatively comprehensive short video proposal:
