This is a conversation with Lucas van Grootheest and Julius Verolme, the creators behind the YouTube virtual influencer, Bloo. Bloo is a gaming-focused digital persona created with the use of AI and voice acting.
Advantages of such virtual influencers include scalability, longevity, the ability to replace voice actors without disrupting the character, and the absence of risks that come with human influencers.
The creators discuss their workflow, which begins with AI-generated ideation and scripting. They utilize a technology known as ‘modding’ to customize game elements to fit their narrative. The videos emphasize pacing and progression and include elements such as progress bars to keep the audience engaged.
The editing process prioritizes the pace and storytelling of the video. AI is extensively used to create thumbnails for the videos. Following the release of each video, they analyze YouTube’s viewer retention data to understand the video’s success and areas for improvement.
Their future plans involve expanding to other platforms, playing different games, seamlessly integrating brand deals into their videos, and continually exploring the boundaries of their content. They also plan to hire more voice actors to help scale up their operations.
In essence, they rely heavily on AI throughout their content creation process, from the pre-production, production to the post-production stages, which helps them streamline their workflow and enhance their content. They foresee a huge potential for further integration of AI in the future.
