Behind the Scenes of “Burger Barbarian” – What It’s Really Like Making AI Videos

People think you just toss some commands into AI and poof — instant genius.

But here’s the truth: every one of these prehistoric “Burger Barbarian” scenes takes hours of detailed prompting, tweaking, editing, and imagining. I write long, cinematic instructions to get the layout, lighting, and mood right — and then go frame-by-frame fixing weird AI glitches: warped limbs, nonsense textures, and weird spellings.
(Seriously — "BARBIAY"? Come on...)

Rebuilding the World, One Caveman Prompt at a Time

This isn't just about slapping a filter on a photo. I reimagine everything from scratch:

• Turning modern decals into ancient cave drawings
• Making swing sets out of stone
• Adding lines like “We’re just waiting for fire” to bring that prehistoric humor to life

The Process Isn’t Perfect — And That’s the Fun of It

Once the scenes are generated, I do what I can to fix or cover the mistakes. But truthfully, I reach a point where it’s “close enough.”
After all — a piece of art is never finished... it’s only abandoned.

That’s what I love about this process. It’s scrappy, flawed, and fun. And even when the AI gets things wrong, those quirks are part of the charm.

25 Years in the Game, Still Having Fun

I’ve been making videos for over two decades — DSLR shoots, drone footage, interviews, documentaries, and reels across Alberta. But this AI tech? It’s like handing a flamethrower to someone who’s been working with matches. It’s fueled my imagination all over again.

Honestly, I make these videos to entertain myself.
If others get a laugh or a spark from it? That’s just icing on the meat rock.
