OpenArt's One-Click Story Sparks AI Brain Rot Video Trend

AI-generated “brain rot” videos are popping up everywhere online, captivating younger audiences with surreal characters like sneaker-wearing sharks and cappuccino-headed ballerinas. These one-minute clips defy narrative conventions and spark endless shares.

One-Click Story Simplifies AI Video Creation

OpenArt, founded by ex-Google employees in 2022, recently launched One-Click Story in open beta. From a single sentence, script, or song, creators can instantly generate a minute-long video complete with a story arc—ideal for TikTok skits, YouTube explainers, or even ads.

• Character Vlog: Upload a character image and a prompt to animate personalities from scratch.
• Music Video: Upload a song; AI syncs visuals to lyrics, from blooming flowers to dynamic vignettes.
• Explainer: Turn scripts or bullet points into concise, informative videos with clear narration.

Users can refine individual clips in storyboard mode, tweaking prompts for precise visuals. Behind the scenes, OpenArt aggregates over 50 AI models—including DALL·E 3, GPT, Imagen, Flux Kontext, and Stable Diffusion—for maximum flexibility.

Ethical and Legal Considerations

While democratizing video creation, One-Click Story raises IP risks. High-profile lawsuits, like Disney vs. Midjourney, highlight the dangers of unauthorized character use. OpenArt’s default filters block known IP, but occasional slips prompt calls for stronger licensing strategies.

Consistency Ensures Immersion

Unlike basic generators that produce disjointed clips, OpenArt prioritizes visual and narrative coherence. Maintaining consistent character design across scenes keeps viewers engaged and stories believable.

Future Roadmap

Next up are multi-character dialogues—imagine dynamic conversations between avatars—and a dedicated mobile app to craft and share videos on the go.

Pricing and Growth

OpenArt’s credit-based plans start at $14/month for 4,000 credits, scaling to team subscriptions. With $5 M in backing and a projected $20 M annual run rate, it’s cash-flow positive and rapidly expanding its user base.
