OpenClips.ai Viral-Style Halloween Reel (Unofficial Spec)

Unofficial spec work. I made this reel myself to show what I could create for OpenClips.ai. It was not commissioned by or affiliated with OpenClips.

A 25-second vertical (9:16) social ad in a trending, hook-driven TikTok style, made for the Halloween season.

The concept: a warning hook ("Don't upload your selfie…") with glowing eyes pulls viewers in. Then: upload one photo, and suddenly the same face becomes a witch, a masked figure, and all of them at once in a pumpkin-lit hall. A flash of the OpenClips.ai brand, then "a scarier one…" and a candle-lit "Follow" end.

Hook-first script and structure designed for retention and replays

AI-generated character transformations from a single face, kept consistent across scenes

VHS / camcorder look: PLAY ▶ and PAUSE overlays, channel numbers, glitch and chromatic text

Bold, punchy captions timed word by word to the beat

Brand flash and follow CTA that don't break the story

Music and sound design for a creepy, playful tone

Format: 1080×1920, 25s, Instagram Reels / TikTok / YouTube Shorts.
