GIVE ME MY MONEY (REMIX) - Z. Thrillington featuring
@TrishaCode
Money never sleeps and don't make itself
I worked hard to put a lot of records on the shelf
And then a revolution came and changed the game
And since it started ain't nothing never been the same
It took years and a huge-ass stash of cash
to do what now seems easy with a little passion
the fashion is D.I.Y
That's why I'm looking fly
as this fuckin A.I. guy That's why ya....
GIVE ME MY MONEY!!
Give me my, give me my money
Y'all flow is basic and phony
Somebody say he don't owe me?
Homey, that story's baloney
My pockets ain't bony! I've got fat stacks
Feeling peckish in the morning... fat snacks!
GIVE ME MY MONEY.
Before you watch this video, watch my Short Film Make the Dancefloor Great Again. Then watch this follow-up through the lens of ‘this is Trump World Disco on the night the Eating the Dogs, eating the cats meme went viral’...
Are they dream fodder or nightmare fuel? Either way, MORNING MONSTERS is your new favorite show. Whether you watch it in the morning with the kids or late at night when you're coming down from something... This one was of my first AI video experiments! IMages in Midjourney. Video in Luma Labs Dream Machine. Theme song in Udio. Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.
The Following are just a few of the ways that people have described my first narrative AI film, “Make the Dancefloor Great Again”, during it’s opening weekend:
“That was So Fun.”
“This is So Good, Sean.”
“Great Concept, and looks fantastic.”
“You Nailed the 70s Feeling. Definitely some Studio 54 vibes!”
“Elite.”
Thank you to everyone who watched the video on opening weekend! Follow me on X.com to see these reactions first-hand, enjoy original AI art & Video, catch news about my next film, and get the first look at major works.

My first AI film is the Music Video “Spirit of The Funk”. It was inspired by the voice that Udio created when I gave it the prompt “Absolute chaos, funk, electric blues, get down lover, boogie, funky drums, wicked guitar solos” and it gave me this perfect Jimi Hendrix impression.
In the course of producing and Hosting WednesdAI I’ve been learning about AI-generated video. This song came along at the right time to see what I can do with Midjourney for the images, and then Runway and Haiper to turn the images into video shots.
I Put it all together in Adobe Premiere Pro. And between you and me, if I’d known how long the process would take, I might not have done it, figuring I’d do better to put that time into the real ‘first AI video’ short film that I started before this. But I was so excited to have something to show the AI filmmakers who inspire me, like Tasha Caufield, MeanOrangeCat, and Dustin Hollywood.

I drew her friend’s name, cut it out, and glued it to the front of the card. I was about to draw a picture of a cake and a unicorn (per my daughter’s art direction) when I had a thought - let’s use Dall-E in ChatGPT to do the art, and then glue that to the front of the card.
Here was our first prompt, and the results:
“Please create a coloring book page style image for me. Bold black line art on white background. I need to see a fancy birthday cake with a unicorn poking its head up behind the cake.”
“That was great! But it went off the page. I need the entire image to fit inside the bounds of the graphic so that I can cut it out and glue it to a birthday card. Make the cake shorter, maybe a single layer, so that the unicorn can pop up from behind it instead of beside it.”
“That was good but it was as if you took a photo of a coloring book page. I just need the line art graphic. And make it more basic, less detail please.”
“That was great! but now it’s too simple. A little more detail please.”
And this was our final design that Isabel coloured using crayons and glued to the front of the card.I really enjoy teaching my daughter how to use AI. Here’s looking forward to 20 years from now when we try to talk about a time when we couldn’t just speak and have everything we want just appear out of nowhere in front of us.
I was raised to have no confidence. I was raised being told that all of my interests were garbage, that I was going to be 300 pounds because I was a little chubby at age 11, and that I was selfish if I didn't give everyone 100% of what they wanted from me. I found some confidence when I started doing comics and being a street artist, but lacked to tools to manage it when it started to turn into TV interest and media attention. The confidence I had built up got shattered when my TV deal didn't happen, but I was able to hide in plain sight by doing YouTube. That went crazy as you know, but then right before the pandemic the people I had put all of my trust in got together to bail on me when I was going through some horrific family issues. That knocked me down and I still don't think I've gotten back up. But now I feel like I'm finally getting up and dusting myself off. If I know anything it's that these things go in cycles and when I get back on top, everyone who counted me out has a big surprise coming.
here’s the projects I’m developing:
All of these projects have completed scripts. This has been my life since the pandemic impacted my youtube channel, and last year I basically did this full time.
It was winter and I couldn’t even get $400 together to make rent. I turned one of the walls of my bedroom into a vision board and taped up pictures of things I wanted to draw into my life on it. I vividly remember when I posted up the photo of an iMac computer. I thought about how i could not see a path from the hardship and turmoil I was in, to owning an expensive piece of machinery like that. But I was confident that I would one day have it. Now I have two.
Back when I was living in one room of a house on Bathurst Street downtown in Toronto, I wished to have a place with enough space to spread out and have multiple Projects in various stages of development around. Today I have this huge basement with my best suits on a rack like a stylist works out of here, with my scripts and stories developing on cards and post it notes all over the tables and walls of the space.
I have no idea how this movie plan comes together but I am supremely confident that in ten years I will have this awesome filmography in place.
