Vertical 9:16 clip, 5 seconds. An AI-generated man in a white t-shirt stands centred against a dark studio backdrop. A liquid chrome sheen spreads over him from his hands up to his face until he is a polished mirror-chrome statue reflecting the studio lights, then he turns his head towards the camera. Dramatic rim light, slow push-in, sleek sci-fi look.
