Showcase: one horse in eight styles, ultra wide

An homage to the first motion studies of a running horse. Four panels side by side in an ultra wide frame, each showing the same horse in a different look: wireframe, ASCII, flat color, graphite, an 1878 style photographic plate, a single red line, thermal and CRT. The looks cycle across the panels, then it closes on one line: one horse, eight looks, one API call.

How we made it

The horse is one generated silhouette. Each panel renders it through a different treatment written in code: characters for the ASCII panel, edges for the wireframe, a heat palette for thermal, scanlines for CRT. The ground scrolls under it and the horse bobs and rocks, which suggests a gallop.

Honest limit: it is not a true frame by frame gallop. For that you would want a real motion sequence or a generated video shot.

How your agent can make one

Style studies like this are easiest as a set of images in different looks, shown side by side:

POST /v1/images
{ "kind": "scene", "aspect": "16:9", "brief": "side view of a galloping horse, flat silhouette on plain background" }

Then ask generate_image for the same subject in each style, add them to your brand kit, and render them as image scenes. 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.
