Recently I tried making one of those viral AI sad cat videos that keep appearing on TikTok and YouTube Shorts. The emotional scenes and cinematic lighting are surprisingly easy to create with AI now.
I used HitPaw Online AI Video Generator and wrote a prompt like:
“A soft cinematic animated scene. A small sad white kitten sits alone at a birthday table. On the table there is a tiny cake with a single candle burning softly. The room is dimly lit, creating a warm and emotional atmosphere. The kitten has big watery eyes and fluffy white fur. The candle flame flickers gently while the kitten slowly looks down at the cake. After a moment, the kitten sighs softly and blinks, looking a little lonely. The kitten then slowly leans forward and gently blows out the candle. The flame fades and a thin trail of smoke rises. Soft cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, warm glow from the candle illuminating the kitten’s face, smooth gentle movement, single continuous shot, 4K, no text.”
The result actually looked like a short animated scene.
I ended up submitting the video to the HitPaw Cat Tax event as well. You just share cat photos or videos to earn Meow Coins, and the top prize is a DJI Pocket.
Pretty fun excuse to experiment with AI cat content.
