Project Title
Cinematic Book Trailer | Epic Dark Fantasy Novel Launch Campaign
Role
Video Creator & Scriptwriter
Project Description
Conceptualized, scripted, and edited an immersive, high-impact 60-second book trailer to launch an epic fantasy novel. The main objective was to establish the scale of the fictional universe, introduce the core lore, and drive global pre-orders across major distribution platforms.
Key Contributions:
Lore-Driven Scriptwriting: Crafted a compelling, mythic script featuring an intense voiceover narrative that sets up the central conflict, historical prophecy, and imminent danger without revealing key plot details.
Immersive World-Building Visuals: Curated and blended moody, high-contrast, atmosphere-rich scenery (vast ruins, mystical landscapes, and sharp cinematic character silhouettes) to bring the high-fantasy setting to life.
Advanced Visual Effects & Text Formatting: Styled dynamic, glowing, and textured typography overlays that mirror the ancient aesthetic of the novel’s world, drawing viewers deeply into the narrative theme.
Epic Orchestral Sound Design: Engineered a layered audio track combining a rising orchestral backing score with dramatic environmental sound designs (such as clashing steel, crackling energy, and rolling thunder) timed flawlessly to transitions for maximum emotional friction.
Premium Call-To-Action Finale: Concluded the trailer with an executive-level end-card showcasing the detailed book cover artwork alongside clear purchase directions.
The final output delivered a powerful, cinema-grade experience specifically optimized to capture fantasy readers and drive massive engagement on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.

these are very nice
First sale on Glyph Co. and it wasn't just the template. It was the full Template + Expert Setup.
Built something real. Someone paid for it.
That's the validation 🖤
Let’s goo win is win
I built "Storybook Magic — Your Child's Personalized Adventure" using ElevenLabs Flows for the Contra x ElevenLabs challenge.
WHAT IT DOES:
Enter a child's name, story theme, and character description — the template generates a complete 6-page personalized animated storybook with illustrations, narration, music, and sound effects. Every child gets a unique story featuring them as the hero.
HOW IT WORKS:
The pipeline chains multiple AI models across 40+ nodes:
Gemini LLM generates a full 6-page personalized story with scene-by-scene illustration directions, narration, camera motion, and sound design
Flux 1 Kontext Pro generates a character reference image first — ensuring the child's character looks consistent across all 6 pages
6 parallel illustration nodes generate watercolor-style page illustrations using the character reference
Different video models are used purposefully — each chosen for that specific moment in the story to maximize visual quality and motion
Maria Moody (Children's Story Narrator voice) narrates each page via ElevenLabs TTS v3
Custom SFX generated per page — matched to exact scene atmosphere
Music node generates a unique background score based on the story theme — not a fixed track
Final Composition assembles all 6 pages with music into one complete video
REAL WORLD VALUE:
Custom animated storybooks take weeks to produce and require coordinating illustrators, animators, and voice artists. Most parents who want one never get it made — the process is too complex and too slow. This template eliminates all of that. Any parent, educator, or children's content creator can produce a complete personalized storybook in minutes — for any child, any character, any theme.
IMPORTANT NOTE — PLATFORM BUG:
ElevenLabs Flows is currently in Alpha. The Flow works perfectly end-to-end and produces a complete storybook video. However, the Composition node has a known bug in template execution — when running as a Template, it throws "Referenced generation failed" error repeatedly. I lost significant credits on multiple failed attempts. I reported this in #elevenhacks-support on Discord. Due to this platform limitation, I am submitting the public Flow link instead of a Template link. The complete working output video is attached as demo.
Nice work 🔥. i love it , i noticed you made a mistake by submit your flow instead of your template . but it should be possible to correct that before the deadline 💪🏼
