What if Cleopatra had a ring light and absolutely zero interest in empire stability?This AI-generated "Get Ready With Me" reimagines Cleopatra as a Gen Z influencer ready to turn her ill-fate into an empire.

“GRWM: Cleopatra” is a scripted AI-native vertical series imagining what would happen if Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Egypt, had a ring light, a tripod, and absolutely no chill.

Styled as a classic Get Ready With Me vlog, this project blends ancient political history with Gen Z influencer culture. Cleopatra walks viewers through her makeup routine while casually revealing how she seduced Julius Caesar, manipulated her way to the throne, and slowly dismantled the Roman Republic, one winged eyeliner at a time.

This is not a parody. It’s an original concept piece created by Salter Creek Creative to demonstrate how AI tools can be used to build consistent, character-driven, social-native storytelling, fast, funny, and emotionally rich.

We set out to prove that AI can serve scripted formats beyond gimmicks, building bingeable IP with repeatable structure, strong voice, and high entertainment value.

We framed this as an influencer retelling of history, with inspiration drawn from:

TikTok’s GRWM + Hot Girl History format

Historical timelines backed by Plutarch, Appian, and scholarly accounts

30+ minutes of transcript analysis from viral GRWM TikToks

Our Cleopatra is clever, manipulative, hilarious, and she knows she looks good while doing it.

Every element, from visuals to script to voice, was AI-generated or AI-assisted under human creative direction.

Google Veo 3 (FAST mode) — for full video and voice generation using custom scene prompts and structured shot-by-shot storytelling

Cleopatra is described consistently across all prompts:

Costume and makeup progress across the series to visually reflect her power shift

Premiere Pro — for light color balance, subtitling, edit polish

A series like this, built at consistent quality across 5–10 reels with unique prompts, voiceover, and social rollout, would typically cost:

Estimated Project Cost: $2,000 USD per reel

Includes:

Multi-episode scripting and vertical structuring

Creative direction, story planning, and platform formatting

Custom prompt system for consistent visuals and performance

Video generation and pacing

Style-guided makeup, wardrobe, and background progression

Social media rollout (captioning, thumbnails, pinned comment strategy) - optional extra

This format is perfectly suited for integrating branded products and strategic partnerships, without breaking immersion.

Just like modern influencers, AI influencers like Cleopatra flow naturally which creates opportunities for product placements and contextual storytelling:

Beauty & Skincare Brands: Imagine her applying kohl eyeliner “gifted by Nefertari Cosmetics,” or raving about a “hydrating fig and lotus balm” that keeps her glow goddess-level.

Jewelry & Fashion Collabs: Cleopatra’s transition from robe to royal glam is a visual runway for showcasing statement pieces, luxury drops, or themed collections.

Media & Entertainment: History-focused shows, museum exhibits, or educational brands can integrate seamlessly via dialogue (“I just watched Fall of Rome on Max, 10/10, very relatable.”)

Cultural & Heritage Brands: From perfumes inspired by ancient formulas to wine, tea, or wellness lines, the vibe is rich, timeless, and ready for storytelling.

Because the series is structured like influencer content, each product can be woven into the script with humor and style, not slapped on like a post-roll ad. It’s storytelling first, brand second, and that’s exactly what makes it effective.

Whether you’re launching a beauty line or building cultural relevance for your brand, we can help you craft the content that will sell your products.

Salter Creek Creative specializes in character-led, format-native storytelling using AI, not as a gimmick, but as a toolset for building repeatable, scalable IP.

GRWM: Cleopatra proves that world-class storytelling doesn’t have to be cinematic to be powerful. It can be shot like a GRWM, powered by a tripod, and still shake the foundations of empire.
