This video about pineapple got over a million views. Why? Because it's not

million views. Why? Because it's not just random AI clips thrown together.

It's master storytelling using the power of Nano Banana Pro. If you're able to replicate and understand this, this could 10x your growth. Just remember me when you hit your first 1 million views.

Here's a full step by step of the process. No gatekeeping. Let's grow.

process. No gatekeeping. Let's grow.

Okay, first things first. We're going to start with the analysis trying to understand why storytelling works time and time again. So here I have a video

which I found a few days ago to 3 days ago and it's got 62,000 likes which is a lot of likes. But the beauty of this is that this page only has 17,000

followers. So this is a proven format

followers. So this is a proven format and it's going super viral right now.

Okay. Now, what we're going to do is quickly analyze this using our friend Gemini 3.0. Now, something that I've

Gemini 3.0. Now, something that I've noticed across the storytelling world right now, especially on short form, is they use a framework called the four

T's. Okay? And essentially, this is the

T's. Okay? And essentially, this is the hook, the peak, the four, and the twist.

And you can use this prompt right here.

I will share all my prompts in the description. And essentially, you want

description. And essentially, you want to put you are social media strategist.

This video got over 60,000 likes, blah blah blah. But you could use this for

blah blah. But you could use this for any niche. So everything I'm about to

any niche. So everything I'm about to teach in this video, it can be used for anything. Personal brand, you know,

anything. Personal brand, you know, whatever you want to use this for. This

is about storytelling and how to create with it. I've put this prompt in and

with it. I've put this prompt in and then it's broken down kind of the difference the different ways that this video has used this framework. And this

gives me so much information that I can then take to the next steps. Being able

to create content is one thing. Being

able to understand why content performs well is another thing because I want all of you to create content intentionally, not to just create content of monkeys

dancing, slapping their hands. You're

not going to make any money or do anything with that. So, this is essentially is a very very good way to understand storytelling when you're doing research. But in this particular

doing research. But in this particular case, for us to understand this video and how we're going to recreate it.

Okay. Okay, so next up it's the script before we get into the fun content creation part. And that this is going to

creation part. And that this is going to be super easy. Again, we're going to use my good friend Gemini 3.0. I was friends with Chat GBT, but that has let me down.

Although Gemini does need to improve its memory. Now, what we're going to do

memory. Now, what we're going to do first of all is grab this new prompt right here. Again, everything will be

right here. Again, everything will be shared. So, let me grab that. Paste that

shared. So, let me grab that. Paste that

in here. And essentially, now we're going to start building the script. So I

want it to understand you know what it needs to do. Okay. So this is come back as yes. So in the same chat again. And

as yes. So in the same chat again. And

then I'm going to put this script right uh this prompt right here which is basically trying to get a deeper understanding of the script. Okay. So

before it gives me my script I want it to fully comprehend the script. So for

my topic for this reconstruction as you have seen potentially in the thumbnail I'm going to go with something I found out earlier today. Now

again you could do this in any niche.

Later in the video, I will share a list of niches or topics that you could do storytelling in. What I'm going to do is

storytelling in. What I'm going to do is basically a similar one to this particular video, which is did you know in the Roman times you weren't allowed to wear the color purple unless you were

like royalty or an emperor or something.

Okay, so I'm going to make something about that. So, and imagine my channel

about that. So, and imagine my channel which is branded in purple, I would have been KO'ed by now. But um so you can see here that it's giving me a kind of full

rundown of the script which is again super super important.

So different words etc. Boom. Perfect.

So here's some information I got earlier about my particular niche. Again you can put any information you want at this point. And essentially you want to put a

point. And essentially you want to put a prompt like this again. And I will press submit. And it all stems from that

submit. And it all stems from that original video. Now, obviously, I could

original video. Now, obviously, I could add multiple videos potentially from this creator or from other storytelling aspects and it will build it the same way. And I'm doing this literally simply

way. And I'm doing this literally simply from one video and a two analysis. So,

we've done one, two earlier, and now we're going to have a really good script which we're going to take to the next level and you're about to see Nano Banana Pro in its full capabilities. So,

here is my full script. If you wore this color in ancient Rome, you wouldn't get a fine. You would be executed. That's a

a fine. You would be executed. That's a

good hook. So, we should have a hook. We

should have the rise or the peak, the four, and the twist. And you can see it's done it all. So, the hook, peak, peak two, the form, the twist. Boom.

I'll meet you at the next section. Now,

this is where the magic of Nano Banana Pro starts to happen. The first thing we're going to do is storyboard. This is

not only going to save you a bunch of AI credits, but also make your entire workflow so much better. Even if you have an editor or you're editing yourself, please pay attention. So, let

me type in storyboard on Google. And

essentially, I'll go on images and you can see right here. So, let's press this one.

This is essentially what a storyboard is. And it basically plans the scenes of

is. And it basically plans the scenes of your video, your story, your film. you

know in film making they use this a lot and we can use this now with Nano Banana Pro because it's so so good. So

essentially now what we're going to do is create our so I'm going to head over to Gemini and here I've put in three different things. So I've taken a

different things. So I've taken a screenshot of this put it into here and then I've got the video which was my original reference point as well. you

know the original one which got 64,000 likes and then I've put in this prompt which again I will share with you all and in this prompt basically there will be a point which I believe is here where

you then paste your script so I've pasted my script which is here into that and essentially what this will do for me is then bring up all of this so it will

start to break down the different scenes for me of my script okay and you can see here it's done nine scenes in in this case. But another good thing about this

case. But another good thing about this as well is this prompt here. Analyze the

video uploaded, how many scenes it has and how often they change and provide me with the three prompts I can use to now it analyzing the video and analyzing how

often the scenes change is crucial because that is intentional editing.

Sometimes when I watch, you know, potentially beginners make storytelling videos, what happens is they leave clips too long in certain places and in short form content especially, you only have a

few seconds to keep people's attention.

And this is going to really guide you to edit properly or create a video which has better retention, which allows you to get results like this. So, what we're

going to do now is break this down. So,

you can see it's broken down the nine scenes. Perfect. And then as in that

scenes. Perfect. And then as in that prompt, I've asked for three prompts.

And here I have the first prompt which is kind of an all-in-one grid. So we'll

actually create my whole storyboard with one singular prompt. And then there are two others which essentially are if I wanted to do a story board one by one,

which I'm about to show you. So let's

first work with this one. So I'm going to head over to art list. Now, I'm using art list because with videos like this where they're a bit more complicated,

there is a bit more kind of elements to it from voice over to effects to sound effects to images to videos. You want a platform that kind of ticks all of those

boxes. So, I'm using art list for this.

boxes. So, I'm using art list for this.

And you can see here AI video, AI image, AI voiceover, music. It's got everything I need. But the first thing I'm going to

I need. But the first thing I'm going to do is head over to AI image and go to Nano Banana Pro. Now, I've already been playing around with it, of course, and I

first put in this prompt right here.

Okay, so this prompt right here, I would put that in right there and press paste.

Make sure you got a Nano Banana Pro model 16x9 for this because this is for our storyboard. Okay? And then you do

our storyboard. Okay? And then you do however many images you want. Now, for

this one, we got this first, which you can see right here. This is

essentially how a story board works. So

it starts to break down, you know, kind of the video, you know, so and this makes things so much easier. Then we

have a second option. So if you wanted the full storyboard, and I'm about to show you the final product in a second, um, you have this one, which does it one by one. So you would paste this prompt

by one. So you would paste this prompt here, and then you would take one of the scenes here. So for example, I would

scenes here. So for example, I would take this scene, paste it right in here, and then it would generate each scene, and then you start to map it out yourself. So, you

can build the whole storyboard yourself or you can do it one by one. Of course,

if you do it all by yourself like this, you're going to save a ton of credits.

But it completely depends, you know, because I'll show you something in a second. So, now what we're going to do,

second. So, now what we're going to do, head back to here. You can see I did another prompt for this one with the with the first one, and this is what comes up. So this seat, this makes AI

comes up. So this seat, this makes AI generation so much easier because then I take this storyboard or this image to my AI videos and it's and it has so much

more context which means the output is going to be better better.

Now here I have my final storyboard. Okay.

And you can see it's pretty good. So

what I ended up doing was you can see here it's done nine scenes. I want to do a bit more scenes about 16. And again,

you would just interact with Gemini.

Say, you know, I want a bit more, a bit less. It really depends on the video

less. It really depends on the video you're creating. But here we have 16

you're creating. But here we have 16 scenes scenes. And you can see this is

scenes scenes. And you can see this is the storyboard and it looks pretty epic.

You know, I can see how this translates with the script. If you wore this color in ancient Rome, you wouldn't get fine.

You would be executed. For centuries,

Tyrion purple was the most expensive substance on earth, etc., etc. And you can see it flows perfectly with the video. But let's say I wanted to change

video. But let's say I wanted to change one scene. You know, potentially I

one scene. You know, potentially I didn't like this particular one. I could

just generate it and replace it. You

know, it's honestly that simple and makes the life so much easier because now the next part of this process, I have this to follow throughout and I

have a kind of dynamic context which I can feed to Gemini to my AI generators at any point. So let's move over to the next section which is now bringing this

to life. Get 40% off Art List AI plans

to life. Get 40% off Art List AI plans or 20% off the Max Pro plan both annually right now for limited time only

and get an extra 2 months for free. They

have a massive holiday sale right now where you can get your all-in-one AI workflow from AI voiceovers to sound effects to image generation to video generation to everything you need to

create master storytelling videos. The

link will be in the description. This

video is sponsored by Art List. Okay, so

the next steps are where everything starts coming together. Now I've opened up a new chat and here I have again the reference video and the story board. So

the final story board that you want to go with and then essentially you're going to put in the prompt which is this one right here which I will share and essentially speaks to Gemini telling it

to analyze storyboard and give me prompts for each particular image or scene in this storyboard. And again you want to make sure you add a video as a reference point so that it understands

the style that you want. So here's my video script for more context and then you add your script. So again, this will be in the description. And what you should get from this is something that

looks like this. So segment one, the deadly door. If you wore this color in

deadly door. If you wore this color in ancient Rome, you wouldn't get a fin, you would be executed. And it basically gives me this first prompt. Gives me the

second prompt. All in like flow of the

second prompt. All in like flow of the storyboard and the script, which makes my life so much easier. And you can do this literally for a storytelling video

in a matter of minutes each time. So

let's say, you know, I was going with this one. You would copy this. Go to art

this one. You would copy this. Go to art list, go to Nano Banana, and you would start to see your generation. So I've

already started, you know, I did this one. So you can see here my generation.

one. So you can see here my generation.

Here's the first one. Now, obviously,

you would cross check it with your storyboard to make sure it looks good.

Potentially make some tweaks if needed.

But these already I mean these are really insane. like in terms of the

really insane. like in terms of the quality like the you know impact if you saw that at the beginning and then boom executioner and you would just build

your flow like this. And next we would do video creation. So turning these amazing clips so turning these amazing

pictures into our videos. Now a good thing about everything we've done is we're saving credits in terms of you know sometimes just going straight to video creation on AI is expensive and

you know consuming. So doing it with this process make sure okay this is all going to be good saves us a lot of time.

One of the good things about art list is that you can literally grab your image.

So in this case this one right here and you can press animate okay which will then take you to this and you have the different options here. So, for this I'm

going to press VO 3.1.

And you can play around with 4 6 8 seconds. Completely depends. Obviously,

seconds. Completely depends. Obviously,

make sure it's 1080p. And turn off audio because we're going to work on audio shortly. And then something you can do

shortly. And then something you can do right here is essentially press suggest prompt. The prompt for video will

prompt. The prompt for video will appear. Again, this is for the like for

appear. Again, this is for the like for the intro.

You know, it looks super real. Crazy.

you know, unscared. Like look how kind of, you know, even the face, everything amazing.

Now, it's that simple. And I would just literally do this scene by scene. Then I

would take it to the next level. And

this will allow you to create your video pretty fast if you follow this kind of workflow. Now, we're going to take this

workflow. Now, we're going to take this to the next level and add sound, voice, editing, so that we can bring this to life so that I can show you the final outcome. Okay. So, next up is the voice

outcome. Okay. So, next up is the voice over. And again, we're going to be using

over. And again, we're going to be using art list. As I said, it's a pure

art list. As I said, it's a pure workflow. You go to AI voice over right

workflow. You go to AI voice over right here. Now, I'm going to go back on

here. Now, I'm going to go back on Gemini and grab my script, which is right here. You just press this button

right here. You just press this button and we'll go back to it. So, I'm going to put this in here. So, you can see I already done that. Now, the good thing about uh Art List is that they use

professional voice actors for their voices. So, the voices sound super real.

voices. So, the voices sound super real.

So, >> every child deserves someone who believe >> really depend. That is grit.

>> Really depends on the video you're trying to create. You know, they're always adding new ones. Uh but today >> as Christmas is approaching in like a

month or so. Let's try this one and see how it comes out. So you can see there's different actual categories here. So I

can do optimistic, surprised, sad, angry, etc. Let's do let's see, I don't know angry and go with that.

But essentially after playing around for a bit you will find a voice over or immediately depends if you search enough that is perfect for your video that adds that extra layer. Voice over which has

emotional impact makes a big difference in these videos. Okay. So you can see I've got my voice.

>> If you wore this color in ancient Rome, you wouldn't get a fine. You would be executed.

And if you listen to this one, >> if you wore this color in ancient Rome, you wouldn't get a fine, >> but you could see the difference. The

other one is clearly more angry. So, it

really depends on the videos you're trying to make. You know, if they're deeper, if they're whatever scenario, these make a big difference. So, you'll

see which one I use in a moment. Let's

move over to the next point. Here we are in the editing section. First of all, we're going to open Cap Cut and upload all our files and upload our voice over of Santa. Let's take a listen at the

of Santa. Let's take a listen at the intro.

>> If you wore this color in ancient Rome, you wouldn't get a fine. You would be executed.

>> Now, of course, we need some music for this video. So, I went to Art List and

this video. So, I went to Art List and searched for something intense.

The first one I heard, I immediately downloaded it. If you wore this color in

downloaded it. If you wore this color in ancient Rome, you wouldn't get a fine.

You would be executed.

>> Now, it's time to cut all the AI parts synced with the script. As I was cutting, I went over to Art List again for some sound effects. Just listen to the quality and variety of these.

>> Perfect. you would be executed for centuries.

>> Then I started to look for another music because the vibe in this video kept changing.

>> Nice.

>> You would be executed for centuries.

Tyrion purple was the >> time for more sound effects to produce just one single gram of dye.

>> And basically I did all the cuts and added all the necessary sound effects.

And now was time for the captions. The

tool I used was the auto captions for cap cut. One click, then we have ready

cap cut. One click, then we have ready captions. For the style of captions, I

captions. For the style of captions, I went a bit old school storytelling. I

choose the sins font. I cut all the necessary parts of the captions manually. And after all the steps we

manually. And after all the steps we took together, here's how the full video looks. If you wore this color in ancient

looks. If you wore this color in ancient Rome, you wouldn't get a fine. You would

be executed for centuries. Tyrion purple

was the most expensive substance on Earth. To produce just one single gram

Earth. To produce just one single gram of dye, workers had to crush 10,000 carnivorous sea snails by hand. It was

worth three times its weight in gold. It

was so exclusive that Roman emperors passed laws making it treason for any commoner to wear it. When Cleopatra

wanted to announce her power, she didn't send a messenger. She soaked her entire ship's sails in purple dye just to flex

her wealth from miles away. But the aura of the divine color vanished in 1856.

And one 8-year-old chemistry student trying to cure malaria accidentally created a synthetic sludge that turned

out to be the perfect purple dye.

Suddenly, the color that defined the difference between a noble and a peasant became a free color in a kid's crayon

box.

Here's the final step of the day, the thumbnail. For this step, you won't

thumbnail. For this step, you won't believe it, but it's pretty straightforward. Here, I just uploaded

straightforward. Here, I just uploaded my edited video and asked Gemini to analyze it and pick me the best part so I can use it as a thumbnail. Look at the

winner, the Angry Emperor from scene one. Runner up is scene six, the scales.

one. Runner up is scene six, the scales.

And honorable mention, scene 13, the split screen. How crazy is that? Here is

split screen. How crazy is that? Here is

a list of some super creative niches, topics, and ways to use this storytelling method. Right now, you

storytelling method. Right now, you should be seeing it on the screen. Take

a screenshot, but everything will also be available in my description. If this
