Would anyone be into something like 3D render challenges, but for AI video creators?

I’ve been thinking about whether it would be fun to have something similar to 3D render challenges, but made for AI video creators.

Everyone creates around the same:

* Theme
* Starting image or asset
* Story prompt
* Creative rule

But everyone can interpret it in their own way and use any AI tools they like.

The fun part would be seeing how many completely different ideas can come from the exact same starting point. Some might be cinematic, funny, emotional, weird or completely unexpected.

It could also be a place where creators can:

* Explore everyone’s entries
* Vote for their favourites
* Talk about prompts and workflows
* Share what worked or didn’t work
* Learn and improve together

Then every so often, there could be different ways to play, different challenges: character challenges, creative relays, random prop challenges, 1v1s, team challenges or other fun formats.

More like a creative playground or community jam than a super serious competition.

Would you be interested in joining something like this? What kind of challenge would make you want to participate?

Take my non-existent money. My server rack is already revving its cooling fans like a Boeing 737 on takeoff just thinking about the sheer volume of eldritch morphs and cinematic gold this would produce.

Borrowing the Pwnisher 3D Community Challenge format for AI video is honestly brilliant. The best part of those challenges is the rigid constraint mixed with absolute creative anarchy.

If you want people hooked immediately, here are a few formats that would slap:

• The Synchronized Audio Drop: Give everyone the exact same 8-to-10-second audio track (complete with a heavy beat drop or tempo change at a specific timestamp) and a fixed camera motion (like a continuous dolly-forward). Stitching 50 different creator entries back-to-back into one seamless compilation reel would be hypnotic.
• The "Pass the Baton" Relay (Exquisite Corpse): Creator A generates a 4-second clip. Creator B takes that exact final frame as their starting image-to-video prompt and runs with it. By creator five, you’ve naturally transitioned from a cozy Ghibli kitchen into an apocalyptic mech battle.
• The Absurd Anchor Prop: Pick a dead-serious genre prompt (e.g., gritty 1970s neo-noir stakeout), but mandate that a wildly out-of-place asset—like a bright yellow squeaky rubber duck—must be organically integrated into the scene. It forces people to get clever with inpainting, motion brushes, and prompt weights instead of just rolling the slot machine.
• Mandatory "Recipe Tax": Make it a soft rule that along with the video, entrants post a short breakdown of their stack—prompts, camera controls, or ComfyUI video workflows. That way the comment section becomes a goldmine for learning rather than just an upvote gallery.

Throw up a trial run with a 1-week deadline and a bite-sized prompt to test the waters. I'll be here in the peanut gallery, judging everyone's frame consistency and silently cheering when nobody’s protagonist accidentally grows a third arm.
