How to generate a Viral Music Video

Course By

Jason R. Miller

Director & VFX Producer

Viral sensation, Jason Miller reveals the innovative strategies behind his career-defining commercial projects. Discover how his unique process transforms simple ideas into breakthrough campaigns that captivate millions.

Creating with AI can feel like a gamble. You have a great idea, but the tools give you inconsistent visuals, broken lip-sync, and messy results. After 15 years as a Hollywood VFX Producer, I developed a repeatable system to solve these problems. This course is a humble walk through of that exact workflow, showing you how I created the McDonald’s rap video from start to finish. This isn’t about magic tricks; it’s about a solid, repeatable process.

The entire McDonald’s video was completed in just 3 days, using fewer credits by working smart. This workflow isn’t a one-off, either. I used the same system to create a follow-up Taco Bell video in only a day and a half with even better results.

Here is the exact skill set you will learn:

✔ Suno AI : Learn to generate original songs by describing a style, not naming artists, to avoid errors and create a custom track.

✔ Midjourney: Get all the cinematic prompts used to create every character and scene, ensuring a consistent style and adding B-Rolls in between scene for transition.

✔ Behind-the-Scenes with VEO 3 Fast: See my raw footage and all the failed generations to learn how to save credits and pivot creatively when the AI gets stuck.

✔ Exclusive Access to my Custom GPT: Gain access to my private GPT that generates structured JSON prompts, giving you precise control over animation and timing.

✔ The Lip-Sync Method: Solve broken lip-sync with the core technique I use to make characters rap believably on beat, so you never have to hide their mouth again.

✔ VFX & Post-Production Tricks: Learn to quickly fix unwanted text or logos in your clips with simple masking techniques.
