🧪 Blog Post #1: "We Fed 100 Marketing Emails into an AI, Then Made a Video Out of the Results"


Ever wondered what would happen if you mixed email marketing, AI, and video production in a blender? 🧠💥 At TheVideoCrafters, we ran a completely made-up experiment that absolutely feels real — and the results were… something else.


We fed 100 marketing emails into a pretend AI engine and asked it to generate an animated explainer video script based on the most common patterns it found.


Here’s what happened. 👇


📥 What 100 Emails Taught Us About Copy


The emails came from every corner of the web — SaaS companies, consultants, eCommerce, influencers. The AI spotted recurring trends:


  • "Quick question" subject lines (57%)

  • Too many buzzwords (97%)

  • A CTA that feels like a threat ("Don't miss out!")

  • "Just checking in" intros (ugh)

  • Words like "synergy," "optimize," and "leverage" were everywhere


Conclusion? Email marketing today is a battlefield of same-sounding, over-optimized, under-human messages.


🤖 Meet AutoVidBot: Our Fictional AI Video Generator


We fed those email insights into our made-up AI tool, AutoVidBot 3000, to generate a video script.

🎙️ Voiceover: “In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, you need a solution that not only synergizes your workflow, but also innovates your KPIs.” 🖊️
Animation: A rocket ship made of graphs launches into a pie chart. A thumbs-up appears. Cue generic dubstep.

We laughed. We cried. We questioned our careers. 😅


😬 The Animation, But Make It Weird


AutoVidBot’s animation directions were… chaotic.

  • Floating lightbulbs and dollar signs 💡💰

  • Characters that point at meaningless charts 📈

  • A handshake. Always a handshake. 🤝

  • A countdown timer. For no reason. ⏳


It was the Frankenstein of marketing — stitched together from every cliché in the book.


🧠 Why Humans Still Win in Animated Storytelling


Here’s the kicker: AI can analyze patterns. It can remix the past. But it can’t:


  • Understand nuance 🤔

  • Craft emotional beats 💓

  • Adapt tone to your brand voice 🎤

  • Make someone genuinely laugh, smile, or care 🫶


That’s where custom animated explainer videos come in. Every video we create at TheVideoCrafters is tailored to the real human behind the brand — not a content template.


🧵 TL;DR:


  • AI is cool.

  • AI-generated videos? Not so much.

  • People are sick of robotic marketing.

  • Custom storytelling still converts better.


Want a video that actually makes your audience feel something (other than cringe)?Let’s chat. No AI bots involved. 🤖🚫
