Tutorial Walkthrough: Recreating a Viral “Stick Figure” Faceless YouTube Channel (Free AI Tools)

A tutorial on rebuilding a viral, faceless YouTube channel using only free AI tools, with claims that scripts and assets can be produced in under 30 minutes. It references channel success similar to CEN009, citing millions of views in a short time and potential earnings like $13,000/month.

Key AI Video Creation Workflow

1. Pick Topics Using a Competitor’s Title Pattern

  1. Take screenshots of the viral channel’s video titles.
  2. Feed them into Claude with a prompt to:
    • Analyze which title/topic patterns get the most views
    • Generate 8–10 new topic ideas with similar “hook” themes (e.g., curiosity, science, psychology, history, human body), but not identical topics

2. Generate a Full YouTube Script with Claude

Prompt Claude to write a narrative, conversational script that includes:

  • A strong hook in the opening (not starting with a question)
  • Scientific framing with real data, explained simply
  • An inquisitive, engaging tone
  • A closing that connects to the viewer

Then refine the format:

  • Request plain text only
  • No section titles or bracket tags
  • Output should be ready to paste directly into a voice/video generator

3. Avoid YouTube Monetization Issues (Risk Guidance)

The creator explains that YouTube may remove mass-produced, highly repetitive AI-only channels.

They argue that faceless channels can still succeed using an AI voice, including some videos narrated with AI voices—while noting the risk depends on repetition and quality.

Mitigation suggestion:

  • For extra safety, record the voice yourself using a mic/headphones, or
  • Hire narration (example mentioned: Fiverr)

4. Text-to-Speech with 11Labs (Free Plan)

Steps:

  • Upload the script to 11Labs
  • Use the Spanish language option
  • Choose a conversational voice preset
  • Download the generated audio

Free plan detail mentioned:

  • 10,000 credits

5. Find Natural Pause Timestamps (TurboScript)

Use TurboScript to:

  • Transcribe the 11Labs voiceover
  • Extract timestamps corresponding to natural pauses

Free plan detail mentioned:

  • Up to three transcriptions per day

6. Generate Image Prompts per Timestamp with Claude

For each timestamp/pause, send to Claude:

  • The script
  • The timestamped pauses
  • A reference visual style (e.g., stick figures / simple hand-drawn sketch)

Claude outputs:

  • One image prompt per timestamp
  • In the correct order, aligned to the timestamps

Style constraints mentioned:

  • Simple strokes
  • White background
  • No complex colors
  • No text inside images

7. Image Generation in Google Flow (Free)

Steps:

  1. Log into Google Flow
  2. Create a new project and choose images
  3. Paste each timestamp-linked prompt and generate images

Settings mentioned:

  • 169 aspect ratio, 1x
  • Example model selection: “nano banana”

Images are generated sequentially for all timestamps.

8. Assemble the Video Using Timed Image Durations

Process:

  • Rename images using timestamp ranges (example: 0–8, 8–14, 14–21, etc.)
  • Import into an editor and place each image on the timeline so durations match narration

Example segmentation:

  • Image 1: 0s to 8s
  • Image 2: 8s to 14s
  • Image 3: 14s to 21s

Result:

  • The video pacing is aligned automatically to the narration via pause-based segmentation.

Example Topic and Framing Used in the Tutorial

  • Built from the competitor-style curiosity/science hook:
    • “Why do you yawn when you see someone yawn?”
  • The script emphasizes:
    • Psychological/biological reflex explanation
    • The idea that yawning is “contagious”
    • Examples beyond humans (e.g., chimpanzees and dogs)
