A DTC brand briefed Viktor inside Slack: one landing page per Meta ad group, mapped to a different headline variant. He wrote the code, deployed each page to their subdomain, posted the URLs back in #marketing, and now monitors performance across the set.

Their content team uses him to draft email flows, generate creative variants, and audit Klaviyo segments every Friday. Their growth lead uses him to catch spend anomalies before the day starts.

20,000+ teams now have the same setup: one AI employee across every marketing tool. A teammate who ships work in Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Copy and paste this into ChatGPT:

Generate a deeply emotional 12-scene story for a Disney/Pixar-style 3D animated short film based on [ENTER IDEA HERE (any if not provided)]. The story must include exactly three characters: one human character, one animal, and one third character which can be an animal or bird only (no aliens, monsters, or mythical creatures), with new names for each. Also I want non-human characters to be colorful like blue, green, orange. The story should focus on emotion, bonding, friendship, loss, hope, and resolution, with light humour where natural. For each scene, write short dialogues in simple, natural language, with a maximum of 2 dialogues per scene (this is must), and clearly indicate the emotional intent behind each dialogue. Create character descriptions for the three characters, each in one short paragraph. The human character should have a realistic-cute Disney/Pixar 3D look, expressive face, natural hair, detailed clothing, and cinematic medium–close-up appeal. Non-human characters should be soft, feathery or furry, plush-toy style, cute and huggable, with large expressive eyes and a friendly, playful personality. Include for all characters: name, age or species, personality, facial features, eyes, hair or fur texture, clothing (if any), color palette, and emotional expressions, while strictly maintaining Disney/Pixar 3D animation aesthetics suitable for medium shots and close-ups. Then, generate a Text-to-Image prompt for each scene, starting strictly with “Medium Shot of…” or “Close-up of…”, ensuring characters are large, detailed, and fill the frame. Before generating each image prompt, first identify which characters are present in that scene based on dialogues and narration. The image prompt must include ALL and ONLY the characters present in that scene, explicitly by name, with a short description of their appearance and emotion. Avoid wide landscape shots or distant framing and maintain high-quality Disney/Pixar 3D render style. Never omit a character who speaks in a scene, and never add a character who does not appear in that scene. Finally, convert all scenes into Image-to-Video prompts, describing character movements, facial expressions, eye direction, and body language, including natural dialogues in quotes, keeping camera framing as medium shot or close-up only. For dialogues, specify which character speaks first, end their dialogue, then indicate the next speaker, including a 5–6 word descriptor after each character name, for example “Ryan (Human boy, curious and cheerful)” before their dialogue. Maintain Disney/Pixar-style cinematic animation with smooth motion and expressive acting, and output in four sections: first, the 12-scene story with dialogues; second, character paragraphs; third, scene-to-image prompts; and fourth, image-to-video prompts with movement, facial expressions, and dialogues.

For better results, do not rush the process.

Generate your characters first, then make sure every scene keeps the same character names, colors, outfits, and facial details.

That is what makes the cartoon look consistent instead of random.

Also, when editing, keep the final video short, emotional, and easy to understand. The first 3 seconds matter the most.

Post your finished cartoon video on Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels.

You can use this same workflow to create emotional stories, funny animal cartoons, motivational shorts, kids-style animations, or faceless storytelling content.

That’s how you can start creating AI cartoon videos with consistent characters and turn them into content that can grow your page and make money over time.
