Creative technologist Olumide recreated the opening of the Baywatch trailer with AI: the 23-second clip took two days and roughly 12 hours of experimentation. His takeaway: the barrier to video production is gone, and all that's left is storytelling — AI should make narrative entertainment accessible to everyone, not produce slop. He produces AI microdramas for some of the biggest microdrama apps and is asking whether to recreate the full trailer.
