Video models

For this video Gregory tried two new video models on top of the five or so he normally uses, finding that a shot that fails in one model can come out right in another.

Storytelling approach

Like other Chaisen videos, it carries its emotional weight without dialogue, relying on images, rhythm and small gestures, and it was framed to avoid pointing at any one real war or event.

Summary

About this song

Put Me Last is a single by Chaisen Hale, the digital singer at the centre of filmmaker Brian Gregory's serialised story, released on 1 May 2026 and running about four and a half minutes. Its official video opens on a memory of Chaisen at 12 in a children's doctor's office, afraid that the help he needs may not be meant for him, then moves to a rainy tour bus where news images of children in rubble and families at sea make him weigh his own luck against theirs. He turns to his songwriting journal and writes through the night, wondering whether his voice could help others and not only himself, while the artists of the fictional Rock for Humanity festival start choosing who will close the event. The upload presents the song as being about a repeating human pattern of displacement, hunger and hope rather than any one war or headline. Gregory writes that the episode took 36 hours and cost $315, and that he tried two new video models alongside the five or so he usually uses. Deezer marks the release as AI-generated content.
