”an artist with zero skills” aka @antrofrog_ emerged in the last 40 days across socials, this video alone has now done somewhere around 200M views in 36h across platforms. created by Antrogfrog using @midjourney and @krea_ai it is an absolute masterpiece in storytelling for short form. Each clip has a hook, and build suspense and release, stacking on each other while all of them stay true to the premise. a british gentleman in New York. each clip is perfect in length, music most likely drove the story, and the entire short ends with a morale. No need for gentlemen to stand in lines. You don’t need to be an asshole to skip lines, just do good. be good. This is also not a one hit wonder on a specific platform, this video goes viral anywhere it’s posted, by antrofrog or people just downloading and re-uploading. Within 5 hours he posted 2 separate videos on Instagram using this character and the second video sits at 62M views and counting. this shows that while barrier to entry is lower than ever, true skills in storytelling and delivery still is the biggest moat. we might call it taste, because it sure ain’t luck. A secondary outcome is that on Instagram Antrofrog now has 325k followers and the basics to continue to do what ever art they fancy doing. what are you waiting for? in Antros own words: — Just use AI
