What If Historical Figures Were Influencers?
There's something deeply watchable about seeing biblical or historical icons reimagined as modern-day creators. These videos often perform well because they blend cultural familiarity with unexpected behavior.
Ideas That Have Worked
| Figure | Format Style | Genre |
|---|---|---|
| Jesus | Skincare + morning routine | Faith + lifestyle |
| Napoleon | Military gadget review | History + satire |
| Esther (Bible) | TikTok “Storytime” confessional | Religion + drama |
| Einstein | YouTube Q&A on quantum physics | Edutainment |
“Today I’m breaking down my favorite sandals for walking across Galilee.”
— Jesus, if he had a brand deal with Teva
This format hits especially well when you treat them like lifestyle influencers with fully modern vocabularies. Just the right amount of tension between sacred/historic and digital-savvy.
Interviewing Fictional & Historic Minds with Veo 3
One of the strongest use cases for Veo 3 is creating highly realistic interview formats. Think BBC meets YouTube — but your guests are long-dead emperors, religious leaders, or invented characters.
Interview Prompts That Spark Engagement
- “We Interviewed Napoleon About TikTok Strategy”
- “Abraham Lincoln Breaks Down the Algorithm”
- “Sherlock Holmes Explains Prompt Engineering”
- “Cleopatra Debates Influencer Culture”
Starter Interview Questions:
- What’s your take on cancel culture?
- How would you lead in today’s world?
- What are your morning routines like?
- If you had a YouTube channel, what would it be about?
These clips work best when filmed like docuseries segments — soft lighting, lower-thirds, close-up reactions.
Vlogging as Fictional Movie Characters
Fans already love these characters — the only thing better is imagining them doing totally normal influencer things.
| Character | Vlog Concept | Tone |
|---|---|---|
| Darth Vader | “What I Eat in a Day” | Parody / deadpan |
| Hermione Granger | Study routine vlog | Productivity-core |
| Greg the Stormtrooper | “9 to 5 on the Death Star” | Workplace satire |
| Elsa (Frozen) | Ice-powered beauty tutorial | Visual gimmick |
These videos often go viral because they scratch multiple itches: fandom, absurd humor, and ultra-specific niche formats (like corporate vlog parodies or GRWMs).
Quick Table: What Format Works Best for Who?
| Video Type | Best Audience | Watchability Factor |
|---|---|---|
| Historical interviews | Students, edutainment fans | Intelligent + memeable |
| Bible figure influencers | Faith-based + irony lovers | Surprise + commentary |
| Fictional character vlogs | Movie fans, Gen Z | Nostalgia + absurd humor |
Prompt Frameworks That Generate Great Results
Even with the best model, how you frame the prompt will determine how well the video turns out.
Example Prompt Templates
“Generate a YouTube vlog by [Character], where they go through a normal day in [setting]. Include natural speech, modern references, and typical vlogger language like 'smash that like button.' Use over-the-shoulder camera angles, and sprinkle in awkward silences.”
“Interview between [Historical Figure] and a modern journalist. The figure responds using current slang and makes subtle pop culture references. Shot in documentary style, 3-point lighting, with clear character expressions.”
Things to Add for Richer Output
- Define setting: “a talk show in space,” “a rainy day in Paris,” etc.
- Set emotional tone: melancholy, sarcastic, high-energy
- Add props or context: “Napoleon is wearing Beats headphones”
Real-World Use Cases That Are Gaining Steam
This format is already hitting social feeds hard in July 2025. Here's how it's showing up:
| Format Concept | Where It’s Trending | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Historical influencer parodies | TikTok, Shorts | Shareable & absurd |
| Bible story reinterpretations | Reels, YouTube | Faith meets comedy |
| Fictional character daily routines | YouTube Shorts, Instagram | Nostalgia plus personality |
| Character interviews in modern times | X (Twitter), YouTube | Quote-friendly & debate-ready |
Need Prompt Starters? Try These Next
- “Jesus gives a TED Talk about forgiveness”
- “Darth Vader’s weekly productivity hacks”
- “Einstein reacts to Gen Z slang”
- “Cleopatra tries a Dyson Airwrap”
- “Sherlock Holmes answers Reddit AMA questions”
You can also layer multiple characters into one scenario — like a panel talk where Moses, Freud, and Dumbledore discuss AI’s impact on identity. Weird, but it works.
Ready to Make These AI Videos?
If you’ve got even one of these ideas bubbling in your head, this is where it gets fun. These formats aren’t just good for scrolling past — they’re the kind of videos people stop and watch twice.
