# Word-per-beat rendered worlds — rebuild sheet

A 31.7s reel by **lucamaxiim** — one word on screen per beat, each word built out as its own absurd AI-rendered world, with a granola bar (Nature Valley in the source) as the only object that survives from world to world. Caption: "high risk high reward". **167,857 views · 12,350 likes.**

**Why it works**

The single word centred on screen is a prompt the picture has to answer, so every cut is the viewer checking a literal image against a word they just read — and because the worlds share nothing, the eye latches onto the one thing that repeats, which is the product. Nothing is demonstrated and nothing is claimed, so there is no pitch to refuse; the brand is smuggled in as the running gag rather than the argument.

**The beats**

| Time | What happens | On-screen text |
|---|---|---|
| 2.54s | Bright living room, picture window onto open ocean. A tall arcade/slot-machine cabinet built entirely out of the product's packaging art fills the left of frame — reels showing the bars, payout tray at the bottom. A man with long braids and dark sunglasses, dark short-sleeved top, stands side-on working it. Eye-level, flat daylight. | slot machine |
| 7.61s | High aerial over a coastal hillside suburb, a huge pale dust-and-debris plume erupting up through the middle of the neighbourhood. No people, no product in this frame. | shrapnel |
| 12.68s | Dim basement room, painted brick and graffiti, black tufted leather couch. A man in a pale tan outfit slumped sideways across it. On the floor in front of him, a small product box and an opened bar. Hard low side light. | desperate |
| 17.75s | Desert flats, blown-out sun, an "AREA 51 WARNING" sign on the horizon. About fifteen identical men in matching olive-green jumpsuits ring a low table, all staring down at one hand in the centre holding a green bar wrapper. | wrapper |
| 22.82s | Ordinary home office — window, TV, sofa, clutter. A man in the same olive-green jumpsuit at a desk with keyboard and monitors, tearing open a green bar wrapper. Loose CDs and cans across the desk. | without |
| 27.89s | Sunlit room, floor-to-ceiling windows, wood-beamed ceiling. Two men side by side in white t-shirts printed with a red Albanian-flag block reading "SPIRITUALLY ALBANIAN", each holding a bar up toward the lens. | Albanian |

**What the frames do not show** — say this out loud rather than guessing at it:
- There is almost certainly audio (the word cadence reads like a lyric or voiceover track), but stills can't tell you what it is. Six frames sampled ~5s apart across 31.7s means **most of the words are unseen** — assume the real video runs many more single words than these six.
- Whether the camera moves inside a beat. Each sampled frame is a self-contained shot; there is no evidence either way about push, drift or a hold.
- Whether anyone speaks or acts on camera. No mouths are visibly mid-speech in these six.
- The people in frames 1 and 6 read as a celebrity likeness. The source appears to be leaning on that; a rebuild for a brand should not.

**What carries the value**

The product turning up inside every unrelated world. Each word is literalised as its own scene, and the bar is the only constant across all of them — so the brand is proved by recurrence, not by a demo, a claim or a caption.

**Shoot it**

Honestly: this one is not a phone shoot. Five of the six beats are physically impossible or expensive on a phone — a purpose-built arcade cabinet, an aerial explosion over a real neighbourhood, fifteen identical men. If you want the closest practical version:

- **Camera:** one self-contained locked shot per word, phone on a tripod, eye-level, no move inside a beat. Cut hard on every word — never dissolve, never match the framing between beats. The lack of continuity is the format.
- **Light:** whatever that world's own light is, and let them clash. Beat to beat should look like different days shot by different people — flat window daylight, then hard single-source basement light, then blown-out sun.
- **Wardrobe:** the rule is repetition inside a world, not across worlds — the identical-jumpsuit crowd works because everyone in that one frame matches. Between worlds, change everything.
- **The one thing you must not drop:** the product is visible and being physically handled in every beat you can manage. In the source it appears in five of six frames. Build each scene around the word, then plant the product in it.

**Or generate it**

Image prompt for the opening beat — the one that sets the rule (an ordinary product rebuilt as an absurd object in a real room):

```
vertical 9:16, a bright living room with a pale sofa and light wood floor and a
picture window onto open ocean behind; on the left of frame a tall arcade cabinet
built entirely from {PRODUCT}'s own packaging art — wood-grain sides, a lit display
panel, spinning reels showing {PRODUCT}, a metal payout tray at the bottom;
{SUBJECT} standing side-on at the cabinet in a dark short-sleeved top and dark
sunglasses, one hand on the machine; flat bright midday daylight, eye-level camera,
slightly soft rendered look, no on-screen text
```

**Motion:** camera holds still at eye level for the whole beat with only {SUBJECT}'s hand working the machine — the frames show no camera move inside any beat, and every beat is a self-contained world cut hard against the next.

**Text overlay pattern:** `{one word}` — plain white sans-serif with a soft drop shadow, centred horizontally at roughly mid-frame height, one word or short phrase per beat, replaced on every cut. Never pinned, never completing a sentence on screen.
