Darius Kazemi and Duncan Robson built a movie trailer bot.

It mashes together 2500+ trailer title cards to assemble sort-of-plausible teasers for imaginary upcoming films.

There aren’t a whole lot of bots that work with video, at least compared to text or image bots. Granted, it takes more technical effort, but I think the language of cinematography and editing lends itself to generative techniques. There’s been a few efforts to make generative films, but I’d like to see way more.
