Alex Patrascu thought Nano Banana "felt like alien technology." 

And after seeing the scroll-stopping content he's making with it, we understand why. 

In this episode of How’d You Make That F*cking Awesome Thing?, I talk with Alex, and he shows me exactly how he uses Nano Banana, and other AI tools, to create his lifelike and catchy video shorts. 

We covered:

  • How Nano Banana changed everything
  • Making a 50-100k ad for 2k in weeks
  • Why the ideal AI team is small
  • Alex’s ideal workflow
