Project Concept: For this project, I wanted to create a viral short video mixing "cute" and "horror." The concept is a late-night street food stall serving animal-shaped Dim Sum (Pumpkin, Piggy, and Bear buns) that suddenly come alive and turn evil.

Workflow & Tools:

• Scripting: ChatGPT

• Image Gen: Midjourney / Leonardo AI

• Video Gen: Runway Gen-2 / Kling AI

  1. The Prompt I used for the Story (ChatGPT): "Write a scary 30-second TikTok script about a customer buying cute animal-shaped buns (dim sum) at midnight. Twist: The pig and bear faces on the buns start screaming when the customer tries to eat them."

  2. The Prompt for Visuals (Midjourney): "Cinematic horror shot, close up of a cute steamer bun shaped like a pig, but it has sharp teeth and glowing red eyes, steam rising in the shape of skulls, night market background, volumetric lighting, photorealistic, 8k --ar 9:16."

  3. The Result: I successfully generated a clip where the cute food morphs into a monster. This contrast between "cute food" and "horror" is perfect for stopping the scroll on TikTok.
