This is not just plugging in prompts into OpenAI Sora or Google Veo
6 November 2025 (Paris, France) – Over the last year or so, my team and I have been working with some very creative AI/media teams in Paris and Rome. We have been experimenting with scores of AI image/video software programs.
One star in this ecosystem is Simon Meyer, based in Paris, who produced this video for Halloween. It has gone viral – over 5 million hits across social media. Watch it and you’ll see how advanced this stuff is getting:
This is not just plugging in prompts into OpenAI Sora or Google Veo. Breaking down the process:
• Veo3 is used for the core scenes
• Nano Banana & Higgsfield Popcorn for the wide shots, close-ups and cutaways
• Enhancor & Magnific for the upscales
• Kling & Seedance for the animation
• Artlist for the music
• ElevenLabs for the voiceover
This is seriously wild workflow 🔥
I think this is the sort of stuff that will come out on top – a human idea made using AI tools. It’s not an “AI video”. It’s both. And very, very good.
This is one of the first AI films I’ve seen with a level of intentionality and continuity that you would expect in a traditionally shot film.
The narrative flow is masterfully done.
And even though ElevenLabs is pretty good (we use it), there is a slight “something” missing in the emotion and delivery. But it’s evolving insanely fast, so I’m sure that gap will close soon.
Simon was so overwhelmed by the response he produced a “Thank you” from Frankenstein:
