This would capitalized on trends like the modernized remix of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air which started as a 4-minute video on YouTube and (after going viral) became a TV Series on Peacock. Nostalgia culture is real: but even nostalgia needs a kick of spice.

Solution: I recently stumbled upon a weird sub-genre of YouTube. Bringing old TV shows to life through MidJourney photos and music. Just this video titled “Family Guy as an '80s live action family sitcom“ has over 5 million views. And there are tons of others too:
Collectively these videos have close to 10 million views.
Given this demand, the business would focus on using tools like Runway ML (who created Gen2, text-to-video platform) or stringing together multiple images together.
What’s more interesting, however, is Runway’s Gen1 video-to-video translation. With this, users can upload videos (let’s say… a family guy clip) and convert into different styles. Instantly, you can take existing video and change the style of it to an entirely new video. You can see the power of this technology here.
More than that, however, the business would either purchase content from existing holders and remix them or remix public domain content in a new way. Ultimately making money from purchases, advertisements, and products.
