Step 1: Get Your Prompt Using ChatGPT
Start by using ChatGPT to generate a video idea. Ask for a selfie style or POV style prompt that describes an animal recording a vlog. You can get as detailed or playful as you like. describe the setting, mood, lighting, camera angle, and even background activity.

Here is the prompts I used:
PART 1. VLOG INTRO
“The Search Begins“
Generate an 8 second video. The camera POV is from a smartphone held by a monkey named Moko, who is using a selfie stick to vlog himself in a lush jungle. Moko is facing the camera and walking forward while enthusiastically starting his vlog. The lighting is warm, with golden sunlight streaming through jungle foliage. He looks into the camera with excitement, adjusting angles slightly like an experienced vlogger. Add subtle shaky-cam movement to simulate handheld filming. Background: birds chirping, light rustling.
Monkey Dialogue :
“What’s up jungle squad! It’s your boy Moko and today, we’re on a mission. Three days, no bananas, and the fam’s getting hangry. But I’ve got a feeling today’s the day. Let’s find those bananas!”
Moko gives a confident smile, points ahead with his free hand, then moves forward into the jungle, keeping eye contact with the camera.
PART 2. Through the Jungle “Weather & Poisonous Mushrooms”
Generate an 8 second video. Continue the vlog from the phone camera’s POV, still handheld by Moko on a selfie stick as he hikes deeper through the jungle. The terrain is denser now. thick green leaves, vines, scattered tree trunks. He speaks to the camera while navigating. Add a few quick pans to show the surroundings, and one zoom-in on a strange, glowing mushroom on the forest floor. The jungle is hot, humid, and full of ambient sounds: buzzing insects, distant animal calls.
Monkey Dialogue :
“Okay, update time it’s hot. Like, jungle-sweaty hot. And we just saw a mushroom that looked like it could kill a hippo. Definitely not banana-shaped.”
Moko zooms in on the poisonous-looking mushroom, makes a disgusted face, then swings the camera back toward himself with a playful smirk and keeps moving forward.
PART 3. The Banana Win!
Generate an 8 second video from the selfie camera’s point of view, as if the phone is filming Moko directly while he holds it on a selfie stick. Moko, the monkey vlogger, emerges from thick jungle foliage into a bright, sunlit clearing. His face lights up with excitement as he spots a tree full of ripe, golden bananas.
The camera captures Moko’s full reaction in a close up selfie shot. eyes wide, mouth open, breathing excitedly. He keeps the phone pointed at himself while rushing forward. The background shows vibrant jungle details and golden light filtering through palm leaves. As he talks directly into the lens, he reaches up with his free hand, pulls down a banana, and dramatically bites into it. His expression is pure joy. Here is the dialouge for moko the talking monkey:
Monkey Dialogue :
“Yo! We did it! Bananas secured! Let’s gooo! Oh man, this tastes like victory. this one’s for the family, baby!”
After the bite, Moko brings the banana up close to the lens with pride. He does a happy jump, still holding the camera toward himself, and finishes with a huge, satisfied grin, bananas in hand, still fully framed in selfie view.
