The author breaks down how the data-center-water satirical MV "Run That Back" was made:
- GPT-6 Astra handled song direction, pitching four hooks ("Run that back" won) and generating every character image and start frame.
- All 15 scenes were staged in Slop Cannon, with the shared storyboard showing a blue-haired girl confronting the narrator, a serenade to an NVIDIA GPU, and comedic water-usage floats (AI 666B gallons vs farms' 108,620B gallons).
- The full prompt is shared (hip hop, hook on first line, Pixar quality), with lyric edits guiding the visuals.
