Making suspense science long videos with AI: This blogger leverages "death experiment" to leverage 780,000 likes

Monetization Angle

Use AI to generate documentary-level special effects + suspense narratives to talk about hardcore life sciences, share the platform traffic with a high completion rate, and then sell paid courses/books/peripherals. For example, blogger Big Circle Mirror Science released a life science video about “death and electric shock.”

It tells the story of its “resurrection” by stimulating human and animal carcasses with powerful electric shocks. The video received nearly 780,000 likes on Douyin and currently has 840,000 views on Bilibili.

Best For

• Up master/teacher who has good writing skills and can write popular science scripts
• Student Party or Freelancer with Basic AI Drawing + Editing
• A small team looking to build a differentiated knowledge IP on Douyin/Bilibili

Difficulty

Medium: You need to handle topic selection, copywriting, AI screen, dubbing, and editing at the same time, but you can do it individually.

Workflow

1. Select a topic

Look for the themes of "wonder hunting + hardcore": such as electric shock resurrection, memory transplantation, gene-edited babies. Pick a “scary but scientific” story that everyone wants to hear.

2. Write suspense scripts

Writing a suspense script structure with AI = "Suspense Opening→ Historical Events→ Modern Application of→ Scientific Principles". The narrator used the tone of "Today's Sermon", scaring before explaining. Like telling a ghost story, and finally telling the audience that "ghosts are fake, science is real."

3. AI production screen

For example, in this case, the blogger used Midjourney to generate historical fields that could not be photographed in the 19th century, such as laboratories, corpse electric shocks, and microscope close-ups. The resulting picture guarantees a continuous shot. The screen is then generated as a dynamic shot.

4. dubbing and music

ElevenLabs clone low male voiceover; search for "suspense documentary BGM" in the screening, with a volume of -18dB. Find an “Uncle Storytelling” voice with some scary background music.

5. Editing & Effects

Use CapCut/Clip: 0-3 seconds black screen + heartbeat sound effect→ 3-5 seconds to flash the AI-generated shock screen; insert a dynamic chart in the middle to explain muscle contraction; add a "Focus on the next episode" animation at the end. Put your drawings, sounds, and subtitles together like a jigsaw puzzle to create a great-looking video.

6. Publishing and Labeling

TikTok Title: # AIReduction Shock Resurrection Experiment # Can Death Really Be Reversed? Write "8 million plays" on the cover of Bilibili to rub against your past achievements.

7. Monetization path

Platform revenue sharing: Douyin's mid-length video program and Bilibili's creator incentive. Paid courses: "7 days to understand life science" series, 99 yuan/set. Books with goods: Hang links to popular science books such as "A Brief History of the Human Body", with a commission of 20%. Brand cooperation: medical app, genetic testing institution implantation.

Case Review

The "big round mirror" makes AI special effects into the texture of documentaries, improves the completion rate with suspenseful narratives, and successfully breaks the "AI = low-quality" bias. Long video mode is more suitable for deepin, and a single 8 million playback means repeatable long-tail benefits. However, it is necessary to continuously output high information density scripts, otherwise the audience will be aesthetically fatigued.
