🍉Warning: Extremely soft and graphic VEO 3 content...
My AI video of a wooden watermelon being sliced got a surprising amount of attention.
My biggest takeaway wasn't just about views—it was a lesson in creative strategy.
When you have a piece of content that works, the temptation is to replicate it exactly.
The easy path would have been to find another wooden object to slice.
But that's how audiences get bored.
The better strategy is to identify the core element that worked (in this case, an unexpected material) and give it a creative twist.
So, I took the idea to the opposite extreme.
What happens when you slice a plush watermelon with a plush knife?
This is a "pattern interrupt" in action. It’s more than just a quirky video; it's a deliberate technique to stand out in a noisy feed.
By subverting the expectation set by the first video, the new one becomes even more memorable.
The professional lesson here: Don't just repeat your successes. Reinvent them.
How do you keep your content fresh after you've had a hit? I'm curious to hear your strategies in the comments.

Here's the VEO 3 Prompt: A close-up, top-down shot of a hand with pale skin and manicured nails using a plush knife to slice through a green and black striped plush watermelon. Capture the moment a slice falls away, revealing the plush red interior with black seeds. Emphasize the smooth slicing motion and the ASMR sounds of the plush material being cut. Use natural lighting and a shallow depth of field to bring out the texture and the contrast between the plush watermelon and the plush knife. The plush knife blade is sewn with a tiny text "Adrian Video Image".
