On Thursday, I posted Memelord’s $3M Seed Round video.

We hit 500k+ views on X and another 100k+ across platforms.

But wanna know the best part???

I made the entire video for $300.

By myself.

On my own software memelord.com.

While other founders waste $100k on fancy launch videos to look cool, I did it myself.

I spent $300 in AI credits and it was worth every penny.

I had the time of my life.

And we hit ROI in minutes.

The signups are coming in like crazy.

Below, I'm going to show you exactly how I made the video on the new memelord.com step-by-step with tutorials and screenshots.

How to make AI Movies on Memelord.com

Step 1. Create a hero

Every movie needs a hero.

It’s Hero’s Journey 101. Whether your hero is your brand’s mascot, a made-up fictional character for a show you’re working on, or even a real person, you need a hero.

At memelord.com, our hero is this little hooded dude from the Bell Curve meme.

But there’s a problem.

In the meme, it’s just his head and I needed a full body.

So I threw the head on Memelord.com, clicked AI edit, and said "add a full body with black pants”. Then you can quickly keep iterating.

I kept iterating on all sorts of characters for my movie. I made a bank robber Memelord. I made a cameraman memelord. I even made a fat Rizzler memelord.

I probably made 100s just for the hell of it. Many didn’t make the final cut for the launch video, but I’ll be using them for other vids and memes. While not every iteration is perfect, at memelord.com you get unlimited AI edits, generations, and background removals.

So I made a fuckton!

That’s why I saved them all in a folder in the new Memelord.com for the future (and because I have a team plan I shared my characters with my team so they can use them too. You can see how this would be extremely powerful for a movie studio or marketers with their mascots!)

Ok but then what?

Step 2. Script

When I first started making AI videos, I would just go in and generate new clips.

I would create these little 8-second clips of my character of random things: texting on an iPhone, shooting a gun, robbing a bank, whatever.

While it was fun, it was pointless.

There was no overall story or plot.

But then I thought about how real movies are made…

You start with the script, you perfect the script, and then you go out and shoot. Otherwise, you're wasting time and money.

The script needs to be perfect.

Everything comes from the story.

The same with making movies with AI.

You start with the script, you perfect the script, and then you go out and shoot. Otherwise, you're wasting time and money.

Sure, you could generate some AI slop really quickly without a real good story.

But that’s for people who don’t actually care about their art. I care about my art more than anything. If you want to make something with actual taste, you need to slow down for a second and write out the script.

So that's what I did for my own movie.

I wrote out the script line-by-line all on memelord.com’s infinite canvas.

Only was I was satisfied with the script, I started generating the images for the scenes line-by-line. Keep reading I’ll show you how I did this,

Step 3. Scenes and storyboard

Once you have the script, you can generate scenes next to each line.

Need your hero to rob a bank? You can do that. Just AI edit your hero and give him a bank robber costume. Then AI edit a bank into the background.

Need your hero to be in a cyberpunk Tokyo? Use our “AI generate” button to create a cyberpunk Tokyo.

It might take a few tries to get it right. That’s normal in art haha. AI art is no different! That’s why at memelord.com you get unlimited AI edits and generations.

Step 4. Turn scenes into movies

Next take your scenes to our Memelord.com’s video editor and generate AI videos.

With Memelord’s solo plan, you get 10 AI video generations per-month free.

We give you the maximum length video (8 seconds) with Google Veo 3 (their state-of-the-art model). From there, it’s up to you to create more scenes and combine them.

Rmember: the point isn’t to generate an entire movie with 1 click.

It’s to generate scene-by-scene. Stop thinking about viral TiKToks and start thinking about telling stories and making movies. Stop being lazy and thinking AI will one-shot everything for you.

You’re gonna throw some scenes out the same way Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorcese do. There’s nothing wrong with that!! That’s making art!

At first, it feels like a waste, but a) it’s part of the process and b) now I have a dropbox folder full of extra deleted scenes and bloopers I can use for socials!

On memelord.com, we give you the maximum length videos (8 seconds) possible for Google’s state-of-the-art model Veo 3. For each clip, be grateful if the magical AI gods give you 5 good seconds. Then combine them to make a movie!

See, this is where Memelord really gets magical.

And it’s why I’ve been calling it “Adobe on acid”"

Step 5. Edit your movies

Most AI video generators only went halfway.

They thought they were cool for letting you make 6-second clips. Uh no one gives a fuck man. Real artists want to make movies, not just TikToks.

So we built you an entire video editor where you can take all your crazy AI generaitons and combine them into entire movies.

Add text, music, filters, animations, whatever you can possibly imagine.

Memelord.com is the new Hollywood.

At memelord.com, anyone can make movies:

“WAIT, Jason, you’re artistic! I can’t do this”

Autistic is probably the better word.

But seriously, stop with the bs excuses.

I didn’t let it fly with my team, I ain’t letting it fly with you.

If you can prompt, you can make a movie.

I forced my entire team to make videos for launch day from our marketing team to my CTO to post on launch day from all our meme accounts.

My VP of Memes Jovian made a banger about blowing up LinkedIn.

My Meme Support Piet made a hilarious video about Bryan Johnson entering the erection olympics.

Bryan Johnson was a fan!

My CTO even made a video about medieval memelords running through history!!!

Yes your engineers can make videos too!!

There is no excuses.

So before you start saying “I can’t do that”, uh yes you can. You can just do things.

This is why I say Memelord is the new Hollywood!!!

The only limit is your imagination and how much Red Bull you can drink.
