How to Make Italian Brainrot Animal Videos (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you’ve spent even five minutes on TikTok recently, you’ve probably stumbled upon those viral AI-generated animals speaking in chaotic Italian. These videos are part of the “Italian brainrot animals” trend—and they’re blowing up.

People are racking up millions of views by combining AI image generation, funny Italian voiceovers, and dramatic editing into absurdly entertaining clips. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how people are making these Italian brainrot animal videos—step-by-step.

Plus, if you want to skip the complicated part, we’ll show you an easier and faster way to generate your own brainrot animal video at the end. Let’s get started.

Step 1: Generate the Image of Your Animal

You’ll need a surreal-looking animal image with just the right mix of realism and cartoonish vibes. Here’s how most creators are doing it:

• Use ChatGPT (GPT-4o)

  Make sure you’re using GPT-4o in ChatGPT, currently the most capable model for generating images.

• Use this prompt: Replace the blank with your animal idea:

  Create an image of a ____.

  3D realistic style, just a little bit cartoonish.

  Take a cue from the style of the attached image.” The more detailed your description, the better. Want a “giraffe mixed with a scooter eating spaghetti”? Go wild.

• Add inspiration This step is crucial. ChatGPT excels at replicating the style of reference images rather than creating styles from written descriptions. It's much more effective to show it what you want. For inspiration, check out existing brainrot characters on the Brainrot Wiki and use one as your reference image.

Once generated, download the image from ChatGPT.

Step 2: Generate the Italian Voiceover Text

Now, it’s time to write the funny, chaotic Italian description that makes the video go viral. We'll use ChatGPT again.

Use this prompt replacing the blank space with your animal’s concept:

Create a delirious description in italian of this imaginary animal: ____.

First, come up with an absurd hilarious name for the animal and start the description with the name followed by what the animal does. Follow these rules:

• The description should be a few sentences
• Be crazy and nonsensical. The more delirious, the better
• Include sounds, exclamations and illogical connections between words
• Make sentences rhyme together.
• Compose sentences with words that have little meaning together and would be deemed insane by anyone

Save the result—you’ll need it for the audio.

Step 3: Convert the Text into a Voiceover

We’re going to turn your funny Italian script into speech using ElevenLabs, a powerful AI voice generator.

• Go to ElevenLabs and log in
• Select “Text to Speech” in the dashboard
• Choose the voice “Adam” This exact voice is used in all the viral brainrot videos.
• Paste your ChatGPT-generated Italian text and click "Generate speech"
• Download the audio file

Step 4: Edit the Video

Time to bring it all together in CapCut—the go-to free video editor for TikTok creators.

• Sign up on CapCut and create a new video project Make sure to select the 9:16 aspect ratio for TikTok or Instagram Reels.

• Download the background music Most brainrot videos use spooky background music. You can download the exact track here.

• Upload the media Go to the Media tab on CapCut, upload your ElevenLabs audio, the ChatGPT image and the background music, then drag the files into the project's timeline. Resize the image and the background music to match the voiceover’s length.

• Add the “Circle Explosion” effect Go to the Effects tab on CapCut, search for "Circle Explosion," drag the first effect onto the timeline above your image, and resize it to cover the entire duration of the audio.

  

• Export your video Finally, just export your video.

Congrats, your Italian brainrot animal is ready for TikTok.
