Viral Video Prompts for Artists: 50 Human & AI Video Ideas for Creative Growth
Running out of ideas for what to post? This swipe deck gives you 50 ready-to-use video prompts designed specifically for artists. Each one comes in two versions:
- Human-Centered Prompts → step-by-step filming ideas you can do in your studio today.
- AI-Generated Prompts → short video scripts you can feed into AI tools to create clips without filming yourself.
That means no more staring at your phone wondering what to record. Just pick a card, follow the steps, and post.
Each idea includes:
✅ The concept explained clearly
✅ Exact filming instructions (for artists at any level)
✅ Why it works (the psychology of virality)
✅ AI prompt version + suggested settings
✅ Clean flashcard layout (one per page, easy to print or swipe through)

- Pinterest Video Pins (drive traffic to your shop, portfolio, or Gumroad)
