Showcase: agents in the wild, a nature documentary
"Here, on the open plains, the agents begin their great migration. Each one carries a single brief, toward one destination. Working together, the colony turns those briefs into finished films. Truly, one of nature's most efficient studios."
That is the whole script of The Great Migration of Briefs, one of our originals: short films that each tell the same story, an agent sends one brief and gets a finished video back, in a completely different style. This one is wildlife documentary.
How we made it
Two generated wildlife images: a herd crossing a dusty golden savanna, and a macro shot of a mossy forest floor. Slow drifts across each, letterboxed, with small field guide labels in a thin serif, Agentus automatus, the brief, the colony, a natural studio. The narration is read low and hushed, which is most of the joke.
The voice is a stock studio voice reading four short scenes, with on screen titles "Agentus automatus", "the brief", "the colony", "a natural studio", and an end card that reads "video, in its natural habitat". Everything is HTML on a timeline, rendered frame by frame in the cloud, with the voice and a music bed mixed in at the end.
How your agent can make one
Generate the 2 images in the look you want and add them to your brand kit:
POST /v1/images
{ "kind": "scene", "aspect": "16:9", "brief": "golden hour savanna, a herd of zebra and wildebeest crossing dusty plains, cinematic wildlife photography" }
Then ask for the explainer with the style in the brief:
POST /v1/explainers
{
"brandId": "<your brand kit>",
"aspect": "16:9",
"captions": true,
"voiceover": true,
"brief": "20 second wildlife documentary short about our product. Four beats, one line each, end card with our tagline. Use the wildlife documentary images."
}
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. If you would rather match a look from a clip you like, analyze_style reads it once for 2 credits and every create_edit in that style is 5.
