"The Heist," a roughly 2-minute film made entirely with AI

A roughly 2-minute, cinematic short by director Jason Zada in which every shot was built with generative AI. A case where one person finished it solo, down to the editing, sound, and music.

What they used: Google's text-to-video AI "Veo." It was made by Jason Zada, who leads an AI studio.

What they did: He produced a roughly 2-minute cinematic chase piece in which every shot was made with generative AI. He handled the editing, sound effects, and music himself, and it spread widely on social media.

What it does: It showed that one person can complete a "movie-like piece" solo, with no shoot and no crew. The barrier to video production has dropped dramatically.
