PromoConcept test

HeadsUp — Promo Cut (voice test)

Early concept test — the voiceover was generated with Apple's built-in (Samantha) TTS to prove out the format before rebuilding the narration with ElevenLabs.

Vertical reelReels · Stories · TikTok

HeadsUp — Native Reel (9:16)

Built natively vertical — every scene designed full-bleed for the phone, not a 16:9 clip boxed into a frame. Rendered frame-by-frame from our own dark UI, scored with music & SFX on the beats. ~20s: flood → market map → price cut → the move to make → proof → CTA.

In this cut
  • Full-bleed 1080×1920 — each beat authored for vertical, edge to edge
  • Same HTML → frame render pipeline as the demos (not a reframe)
  • Everwork fictional data — safe to run anywhere
  • Music + SFX scored to the motion · sound-off friendly
