Vegan Wolves

Vegan Wolves

Inspiration

This was inspired by the classic "wolf in sheep's clothing" metaphor and the absurdity of modern politics. I wanted to create a sharp, 60-second political ad that was both funny and unsettling.

What it does

This 44-second clip is a satirical political advertisement. It uses a strong visual gag to critique political predators and the ease with which they fool their "flocks."

How we built it

I used AI tools to generate the surreal images of wolves in sheep's wool addressing a crowd of sheep. The "pro-vegan" dialogue is played completely straight, which makes the visual gag of the bloody-mouthed wolf even funnier. The "Baaa" sound effect at the end is the punchline.

Challenges we ran into

The challenge was getting the AI to create the "wolf in sheep's clothing" look. It required a lot of prompt engineering to get the blend right.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The joke lands perfectly. It's a simple, clear, and funny piece of satire that works in under a minute.

What we learned

In satire, you have to play the joke straight. The comedy comes from the gap between what you see (a predator) and what you hear (a protector).
