Viral YouTube Shorts – Entertainment Content

This project involved creating a series of viral YouTube Shorts for a Polish channel, mainly focused on “Top 5 funniest…” ranking videos featuring fails, funny cats, and entertaining viral moments. Several shorts were created in a trivia/facts format, including one produced for the client’s second channel using the popular AI-generated animated skeleton style.

I was responsible for the entire production process — from topic research and scriptwriting to finding clips, generating voiceover, and final editing. Each short was created following strict retention-focused guidelines provided by the channel owner to maximize watch time and viral potential.

All videos were published on the client’s channels and achieved strong organic performance. Most videos reached between 17,000 and 98,000 views, while one trivia-style short reached 266,000 views.
