Showcase: a toy brick film lot that builds itself

A film lot made of toy bricks drops into place, piece by piece: a studio building, palm trees, an orange crew van with a camera on the roof. The camera pushes in on a little crew member holding a slate that reads POST /v1/videos, then pulls back out. A title card in the corner names each chapter of "The Crew and the Van".

Square and silent, made to loop in a feed.

How we made it

  1. Two generated stills: the whole diorama and a close up of the crew at the van.
  2. The build is the diorama cut into 144 tiles that drop in one after another with a small bounce.
  3. Push ins and pans are scale and position moves on the stills.
  4. The gap: there is no real 3D camera orbit, so it never shows the back of the set.

How your agent can make one

Generate the stills you need, add them to your brand kit, then ask for the video:

POST /v1/images
{ "kind": "scene", "aspect": "1:1", "brief": "toy brick diorama of a small film studio lot with an orange crew van with a camera on top, palm trees, blue sky backdrop, isometric" }
POST /v1/explainers
{
  "brandId": "<your brand kit>",
  "aspect": "1:1",
  "captions": true,
  "brief": "18 second square silent short. A toy brick film lot builds itself, push in on the crew holding a slate, pull out, chapter title card in the corner."
}

Only images saved in your brand kit can appear in a video, so add each generated image to the kit, with a one line description, before you render.
