Jeff from Jeff For Local Marketing shows how HeyGen's Avatar 5 lets local business owners skip expensive video shoots by creating AI avatars in seconds. Upload a photo, write a script, and the tool generates a talking avatar. He turns a client's dog, Cosmo, into a brand mascot for a golf club.
So this is called Avatar 5 or Avatar V. I'm not sure exactly what they, what they call it, but I'm going to call it Avatar 5. It just seems to make sense when there's a V there, a new Roman numeral number 5. As I said, I've been creating videos for local businesses for quite some time. This is our— we're going into our 16th year of creating content for businesses, and we've done thousands and thousands of videos over those years. And it's true, some of the things are, it can be expensive, you know, depending on how you're going to shoot this. It's also sometimes very challenging for business owners who, you know, let's face it, you know, you're an HVAC owner, a company owner, and I'm asking you to get in front of the camera and read some lines and do these particular things. Those can be challenging. Well, this product from HeyGen, creating what we call avatars changes all that. And in a nutshell, what it basically means is it means that you can, just like it, like we showed there on the video, in 15 seconds you can record this in anything that you're wearing. And then through just telling it how you want to show up— I want to be in a suit and I want to be sitting on a desk on Mount Everest and I'm doing my podcast— yes, that can happen. And it's very easy to do. Now I say it's easy, but just literally 2 weeks ago, it was virtually impossible. It was pretty difficult to do that. You had to really be a tech wizard, which I'm not, to put this together, although some of my close friends would call me a geek. But the cool thing about it is you can set these up to have many different things. And I'm just gonna show you a couple of things that we've done. Let's go back to this. And I'll give you an example. We just created a video for a client and the video was designed, said, hey, can you make my dog talk and be the, I guess, the face, if you will, of my business? I said, yeah, give it a shot, let me have it. So I basically took that image of that dog and I created this video, and I'll let you see it here real quick. I've done some additional editing before we put it out, and it hasn't been approved yet, so don't tell anybody I'm showing this, but basically this is, This was how it turned out.
Hey, it's Cosmo, and I just turned 1. And guess what my brother-in-law Chuck got me for my birthday? A brand new set of golf clubs. Yeah, apparently it's time I start taking my game seriously. Good thing I've got the best place to practice right here at Back Nine Rancho Mirage. You should come check it out. And when you do, make sure you say hi to me. I'll be the one working on my short game. Hey, it's Cosmo.
Now, this was all done by this prompt that I have over here, and
