“Weird Al” Yankovic — The Night Santa Went Crazy Music Video

This is a fan-made music video for “The Night Santa Went Crazy”. This project was a way to have fun, challenge myself, and bring a song I’ve always loved to life visually. While the animation was created using text-to-image and image-to-video AI tools, every aspect of the video was concepted, directed, and edited by me. I planned and directed every shot, staged every visual gag, made all creative decisions, and handled the final edit in Adobe Premiere. This was not generated by asking AI to “make a video for the song”—it was a fully directed project using AI as part of the production process. This video is a labor of love, experimentation, and storytelling.
