Create a dark studio performance video using the supplied character images. Mercy performs every role: singer, lead guitarist, bassist and drummer. Match each role to its assigned reference image, keeping that image’s outfit, hairstyle and makeup. Every shot must contain exactly ONE performer. No group shots, no full-band shots, no other people in the background, no duplicates and no split screens. Switch between the performers through separate camera cuts; never show them together. Show Mercy singing during the lyrics. During instrumental passages, focus on the guitarist, bassist or drummer playing, with their mouths closed. Keep the black onyx gothic theme throughout

Create a playful 3D cartoon music video for the uploaded children's techno song. Use the uploaded references: turquoise-jacket baby bouncer, adult Kyra Maria in a lilac pantsuit, and colorful club interior. Preserve their exact appearance and outfits in every scene. Build the storyboard around the vocals and instrumental sections. Use two locations: the club entrance and its dancefloor. Keep actions simple, with ONE main action per shot. ENTRANCE: Maria wants to enter. The baby guards a velvet rope with a comically serious but friendly expression. Position them facing each other so their interaction is clear. Whenever the vocals repeat “Den pernas, Kyra Maria” or “Den pernas, den pernas,” show a medium close-up of the baby wagging ONE raised index finger gently side to side toward Maria. His other hand stays on his hip. Keep his face and hand clearly visible. This is the recurring signature shot. During “Na mas peis pou thes na pas,” show the baby waiting with hands on hips, then cut to Maria pointing toward the entrance. During her vocal responses, show Maria smiling and gesturing. Do not invent unrelated adventures. Vary later entrance shots: Maria takes one sideways step; the baby blocks her with one sideways step. In another shot, Maria does a little dance. In another, the baby taps his foot while trying to stay serious. Use separate shots for each action. Maria remains OUTSIDE until the ending. DANCE BREAKS: During beat drops and instrumental passages, cut INSIDE to babies dancing. Use small groups of two or three for clear animation. Each shot shows one simple repeated dance: side steps, knee bounces, head nods, or raised arms. Alternate medium dance shots with wide dancefloor views. Prioritize moving characters over scenery or DJ equipment. Repeat the entrance/dancefloor pattern throughout the song. Reuse successful visual setups for recurring phrases, changing framing slightly rather than introducing new designs. ENDING: Use three separate shots: the baby opens the rope; Maria walks through the doorway; Maria and the baby dance together INSIDE with the other babies. Finish on a wide dancefloor shot with Maria clearly visible. STYLE: Match the references, rounded 3D characters, turquoise/lilac lighting, warm faces, smooth camera moves and beat-timed cuts. No outfit changes, character morphing, distorted fingers, aggressive gestures, scary imagery, harsh strobes, or long static equipment shots. No captions or lyric text

Create a music video for “Nile Cruise,” an instrumental track with no lyrics or singing. Mercy is a belly dancer, performing graceful continuous dancing and gentle turns on the deck of a luxurious Nile cruise boat at sunset. Egyptian temples, palm trees and passing sailboats appear along the river. Use the reference collage to preserve her appearance and turquoise-and-gold costume. Alternate full-body front, side and back shots to show her dancing and the flowing skirt. She never sings, lip-syncs or mouths words. Keep her lips naturally closed, including during high instrumental notes and any wordless vocal sounds. Her movement follows the music through dancing only

Create a grounded, cinematic, photoreal music video for “Colors and Armor.” This is one continuous emotional story about ONE woman, @ref1 Color Lumière, moving between the self she can freely be at home and the more guarded self she presents to the outside world. Build the storyboard around @ref1 as the physical protagonist throughout. At home she is warm, expressive, colorful, artistic, relaxed, playful, emotionally open, and fully herself. She wears flowing bohemian clothing, jewelry. Establish ONE recurring home and preserve it throughout: a warm artistic bohemian house with a recognizable living room, mirror area, window area, creative/art space, colorful textiles, plants, books, artwork, warm lamps, natural sunlight, and intimate lived-in detail. Every return home should clearly feel like the SAME house. Establish ONE recurring outside world and preserve it throughout: the same urban neighborhood with recognizable buildings, wet pavement, streetlights, reflective nighttime streets, cooler lighting. Every return outside should clearly feel like the SAME neighborhood. Use mirrors, windows, doorways, and thresholds as transitions between private and public life. Mirror scenes should create clear opportunities for a contrasting reflected version of her identity. Outside/public scenes should show her becoming more controlled, composed, guarded, and socially aware. These scenes will later be adapted to use her Armor counterpart, so make the locations, framing, and emotional beats strong and easy to preserve. Tell the story through realistic performance, wardrobe, posture, lighting, reflections, and location contrast. Keep everything grounded and cinematic with no fantasy effects. Give scenes real variety: wide establishing shots, medium performances, close emotional shots, mirror compositions, walking outside, sitting at home, window moments, doorway transitions, art-making, quiet details. Follow the lyrics closely. Early scenes establish her freedom and authenticity at home. Gradually reveal the pressure of the outside world and the version of herself she feels she must present there. The middle explores the emotional cost of changing herself for others. Later scenes move toward understanding, acceptance, and integration. End warmly at home with the feeling that every version of her belongs to the same person. Make each scene distinct while preserving character, location, and emotional continuity across the entire film

15-second vertical 9:16 cinematic music video set in Milan at night during warm summer rain. Use the selected Midnight Stroll characters consistently throughout the entire video: the same handsome, charismatic Italian man around 40 years old and the same beautiful, elegant Italian woman around 35 years old. Keep exactly the same faces, hairstyles, black elegant clothing and appearance in every shot. The Italian man is the main character. He walks confidently along a rain-soaked Milan street while warm city lights reflect on the wet pavement. He notices the elegant Italian woman walking nearby. Their eyes meet. She passes him slowly, then turns her head and looks back at him. He stops and looks at her. Create strong romantic tension and chemistry between them. Dynamic professional camera movement: follow the man, smoothly reveal the woman, then capture cinematic close-ups of their eyes and exchanged glances. Warm lights, realistic rain, wet street reflections, elegant Milan architecture, sensual Italian atmosphere, passion and mystery. Premium modern EDM/Dance music video, highly photorealistic and cinematic. Natural realistic human movement. No singing to camera, no lip-sync, no distorted faces, no changing characters, no extra main characters, no subtitles. During the final 2 seconds display the exact text “SKAYBLU” clearly in the center of the screen in large, elegant, modern white typography. Spell it exactly: SKAYBLU. No other text. No watermark, no platform logo, no AI logo or branding. Duration: exactly 15 seconds

Create a photorealistic, cinematic 16:9 music video set entirely on one intimate concert stage. Use the selected male character reference only for the man with the acoustic guitar and the selected female reference only for the woman. Keep their faces, outfits, stage layout, blue and warm amber lighting consistent. Show natural glances, guitar playing, restrained gestures and camera movement. When the male vocal is heard, favor the man in the framing; when the female vocal is heard, favor the woman; when both are heard, frame them together. Neither performer mouths lyrics, sings to camera, speaks or performs lip sync at any point. Treat the song as a soundtrack over their silent visual performance. No subtitles, extra singers, duplicate characters or location changes

Create a cinematic narrative music video for JustX and SEEN. JustX is the ONLY main artist and protagonist. Keep the attached @ref1 identity consistent throughout: same youthful face, dark structured hair, warm brown/hazel eyes, natural skin, youthful proportions and recognizable appearance. Never replace, age, mature or redesign him. CORE STORY: Being left on “seen” → waiting → overthinking → memories → emotional distance → self-doubt → self-realization. The smartphone represents the present and the need to be seen. Reflections represent self-perception. Memories feel warmer and softer than the present. By the final chorus, JustX puts the phone away and stops waiting for someone else to choose him. Emotional resolution: “Ora finalmente vedo me.” VISUAL WORLD: High-end cinematic realism, intimate coming-of-age film, natural skin, shallow depth of field, subtle film texture. Palette: midnight, navy, graphite, stone, cream with restrained warm highlights. Locations: JustX's bedroom at night, window reflections, quiet streets, night city, rooftop, intimate memory spaces and early morning. Use recurring motifs: smartphone glow, seen message, reflections, window glass, photographs, headphones and finally the phone left behind. STORY FLOW: Intro — establish JustX awake at night. Verse 1 — message, seen status, waiting and repeated phone checking. Chorus — emotional escalation and overthinking. Post — screen and reflection imagery. Verse 2 — memories of the person and shared moments. Pre-chorus — return to reality and growing distance. Second chorus — JustX moves through the night city. Bridge — turning point: he realizes he does not need the other person to choose him. Final chorus — he puts the phone away and begins to see himself differently. Outro — quiet morning and emotional self-worth. Create approximately 28–30 coherent cinematic scenes across the full song. Use meaningful visual beats, not one scene per lyric line. Verses are intimate and observational; choruses open the visual space; the bridge is the emotional turning point; the final chorus resolves the story. Use varied cinematic camera language: close-ups, medium shots, environmental wides, reflections and controlled movement. Avoid repetitive walking shots. Do NOT create cyberpunk, futuristic interfaces, fashion-editorial, glossy influencer, boy-band, childish or generic AI music-video aesthetics. Do not introduce random characters or unrelated locations. Keep JustX visually consistent

Create a cinematic romantic music video for Joe Right’s “First Glance.” The uploaded image is a reference sheet showing the same man from several angles. Keep his face, mustache, age, natural proportions, and outfit consistent: beige plaid blazer, navy shirt, tan trousers, and brown shoes. He is a man going about his day, not a singer onstage. No microphone or performance stage. The story takes place in a city café at dusk. Joe notices a woman across the room. She looks back, smiles, and invites him to sit with her. Show them sharing a table, talking and laughing naturally while the song continues; their conversation is seen but never heard. This meeting must clearly happen in real life, not as Joe’s fantasy or memory. As the song progresses, follow them leaving the café together, walking along warmly lit streets, and exchanging phone numbers. Mix those scenes with close-ups of Joe reflecting on the encounter. End with them parting for the evening, turning back for one more smile, and walking away with the clear sense that they will meet again. Use warm café and street lights against a deep blue evening. Keep the woman’s appearance consistent throughout. Let gestures, eye contact, and actions tell the story. Do not add spoken dialogue, subtitles, new audio, fantasy sequences, extra romantic partners, or a wedding. Only move Joe’s mouth in close-up when it can match the song’s vocals; otherwise use natural expressions and story action

Tiara Nubine enters the “Freaky Zone,” a seductive, surreal neon world where every space becomes stranger, brighter, and more exciting. She performs confidently in futuristic nightclubs, illuminated corridors, mirrored rooms, and vibrant dance environments filled with red, blue, purple, and gold lights, smoke, lasers, and energetic crowds. Keep Tiara’s real face, dark skin tone, slim athletic proportions, chest tattoos, nose ring, hoop earrings, and long red-and-platinum braids consistent throughout. She must wear the same vivid crimson-red corset-style top, matching fitted flared pants, gold chain accessories, and red platform boots shown in the reference collage. Do not change her outfit, hairstyle, face, or body. Alternate accurate lip-sync facial close-ups with full-body dancing, confident stage performances, side profiles, and three-quarter rear shots that showcase her long braids and red outfit. Her personality is bold, sensual, energetic, playful, and commanding. Use fast cinematic transitions synchronized with the beat, dynamic camera movement, colorful professional lighting, and polished music-video imagery. During instrumental sections, show dancing, walking, crowd interaction, dramatic poses, and environmental shots without moving her mouth. No additional lead singers, random outfit changes, black or platinum clothing, distorted faces, extra limbs, horror imagery, or mouth movement when there are no vocals

Create a premium cinematic Italian birthday music video for the song “La vita è ancora tutta da vivere”. Use the selected four-person reference image as the single identity anchor throughout the entire video. There are FOUR distinct people and their roles must never be confused: MICHEL is the 60-year-old birthday protagonist. He has silver-white short hair, glasses and a warm charismatic smile. He is not a singer and never performs into a microphone. His story is about overcoming a difficult beginning, building his own construction business through strength and hard work, his three daughters and family, hiking in the mountains, red wine and friendship. JASMIN is the 30-year-old birthday protagonist. She has long dark-brown hair and an elegant appearance, wearing a sophisticated royal-blue dress when appropriate. She is not a singer and never performs into a microphone. Her story is about her hotel-school graduation, twists and turns in life, returning to hospitality, discovering wh

Create a grounded cinematic music video for “Before the Sirens.” In a modern city at night, every phone receives the same warning: “ONE HOUR REMAINING.” People believe the world may end at midnight, but the cause is never shown. Mason is the alternative-rock lead singer and emotional anchor, moving through the city as people stop pretending and finally live honestly. Show recurring moments: a businessman loosens his tie and laughs, a woman makes the call she avoided, estranged brothers reunite, an elderly couple dances, children run through sprinklers, strangers comfort each other, and people give away possessions. Start with cold blue and red warning light, then gradually warm into amber and gold as people reconnect. At midnight, nothing happens. No explosion, apocalypse, aliens, meteors, or destruction. The city remains standing, but the people are changed. End with relief, laughter, connection, and the feeling that you do not need the end of the world to start living

A 16:9 master gives stages, groups, landscapes, and horizontal camera movement room to breathe.

A strong centered performer leaves more options for separate vertical and square versions.

Vertical releases benefit from readable faces, simple silhouettes, and important action near the center.
