The proliferation of fake movie trailers on YouTube
You don’t have to search hard online for advice and step-by-step instructions for creating fake movie trailers. Such instructions include information on mimicking the audio, graphics, and video to make the trailer look realistic. They can even help you create a fictional description to accompany the YouTube upload.
Those who create these trailers often are simply looking for ways to show off their creativity – while generating plenty of views for potential monetization.
One creator well-known for these types of movies is Abandoned Films on YouTube. This creator uses a combination of AI and Photoshop to generate fake trailers for modern television shows and films that feature camera technology from the 1950s and 1960s.
Another YouTube creator, Curious Refuge, uses AI to generate movie trailers as if they’re filmed in the style of American filmmaker Wes Anderson.
