Showcase: an awards night in one continuous camera move
The Render Awards. Two cartoon mascots under a spotlight, then the camera slides, without a single cut, across a race chart, an API versus MCP card, a grid of nominees, a "post your render" call, and an envelope countdown to Best Film Rendering.
The whole thing is one page and one camera move. No VO, just music, like an awards broadcast opener.
How we made it
- Two generated mascots, a clapperboard and a play button, standing under a spotlight. The nominee grid is made of our own earlier showcase stills.
- Six panels laid out side by side on one very wide HTML page, in black and gold with a serif display font.
- The "camera" is a single transform on that page: it pans, eases and pushes in on each panel in turn, so it reads as one continuous take.
- Race bars grow with eased widths, the countdown is a live timer, and the music carries the pace.
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": "16:9", "brief": "two cute cartoon mascots, a red clapperboard and a yellow play button, under a stage spotlight, dark gold awards show backdrop" }
POST /v1/explainers
{
"brandId": "<your brand kit>",
"aspect": "16:9",
"captions": true,
"brief": "30 second awards night opener for our product, shot as one continuous camera move across six panels: mascots, a race chart, a feature comparison, a nominee grid, a call to post your render, and an envelope countdown. Music only."
}
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.
