Fast Motion + Physics (16:9)
What it tests: Motion Realism + Temporal Consistency + Visual Quality
Wide 16:9 cinematic action shot, a runner sprints through a rainy city street at night, water splashes realistically with each step, reflections on wet asphalt, handheld tracking camera following from the side. Dynamic motion with believable inertia and physics, no rubbery limbs, no wobbling background, stable scene geometry, minimal temporal flicker, sharp details despite fast movement, realistic motion blur.

UGC Talking Head (9:16)
What it tests: Human Fidelity + Prompt Adherence + Vertical Framing
Vertical 9:16 TikTok-style UGC selfie video, handheld smartphone feel, natural indoor daylight near a window. A friendly creator looks directly into the camera with natural blinking, subtle head nods, and a warm smile. Add small human imperfections: a tiny hesitation, a soft breath, a quick smile mid-shot, and a brief thoughtful pause near the end. Realistic skin texture, stable identity, no face warping, minimal flicker, and believable handheld motion.
No subtitles. No on-screen text. No logos. No watermarks.

Hands + Product Demo + On-screen Text
What it tests: Hands/Fingers + Text & UI Legibility + Prompt Adherence
Wide 16:9 full-body unboxing video in a clean studio/kitchen setting. A person is fully visible (head-to-toe or at least head-to-knees) standing behind a minimalist tabletop. They unbox a small generic gadget from a plain matte cardboard box: peel the seal, open the lid, remove the inner tray, take out the device and accessories, and lay everything neatly on the table. The person occasionally lifts the item toward the camera for a closer look, then places it back down.
Realism requirements: natural body proportions, stable identity, realistic skin and clothing fabric, no face warping, no unnatural limb bending. Hands must be highly realistic: correct finger count, natural grip, believable pressure/contact with the box and device, consistent shadows, no extra fingers, no “floating” objects. Keep object geometry stable, no wobbling background, minimal temporal flicker.
Camera: single continuous shot, tripod-stable, slight cinematic push-in (very slow), eye-level or slightly above table height. Natural soft daylight, clean shadows, realistic materials and textures. No logos, no brand names, no watermarks. No subtitles.
Optional on-screen title at the top (perfectly readable and stable, no jitter):
