AI Pepperoni Hug Spot Commercial
There’s Pineapple on Pizza, and then this AI-generated Pepperoni Hug Spot commercial, which just might be the strangest yet. It took PizzaLater around 3-hours to generate with Midjourney and assemble in Adobe After Effects. While the pies look decent, the humans appear to have entered the uncanny valley.



A total of five different models were used to make the assets for this commercial and then Adobe After Effects helped combine the script, footage, music as well as custom imagery, into a single video. Where did the narrator voice come from? ElevenLabs’ Prime Voice AI, which is a deep learning model that renders human intonation and inflections with unprecedented fidelity, adjusting delivery based on context.

I asked GPT4 to write a short TV commercial for a fake pizza place and to do it in ‘broken English’. It output 3 scripts and I chose the best and pieced them into a single idea. It also came up with the restaurant name. I generated the video clips by prompting Runway for things like ‘a happy family eating pizza in a restaurant, TV commercial’. I then took all the clips, VO and music and edited it all together,” said PizzaLater.
