Thirteen shots, in order

01

Booth: 0 to 12.46 s [frames 0 to 299]

Shot 1, 0 to 3.54 s [0 to 85]: warm wood-panelled vocal booth, side profile at a hanging silver condenser mic, rubbing a forearm. Check that the profile reads as you. Shot 2, 3.54 to 12.46 s [85 to 299]: same booth, one continuous closer and more frontal shot from behind the mic, with a gentle handheld drift; the mic covers part of the face. Gestures land around 4.5 s (two-finger sign), 6 to 7.5 s (finger pointed at the mic) and 10 to 12 s (arms spread wide). Check that face, hair and outfit hold steady through the whole take.

02

Black stage: 12.46 to 15.29 s

Shot 3, 12.46 to 13.33 s: full-body wide under one overhead spotlight, head bowed. Check the whole outfit from your photo, including shoes if they were visible. Shot 4, 13.33 to 14.08 s: medium shot as the gaze lifts to the lens. Check that the eyes are still your natural colour here. Shot 5, 14.08 to 15.29 s: extreme face close-up in warm light with glowing red eyes. This is the largest view of your face; check likeness and that the glow sits on the eyes only.

03

Grocery aisle: 15.29 to 17.0 s

Shot 6, 15.29 to 15.83 s: green-lit aisle, medium-wide, looking back at the camera. At just over half a second it is the shortest person shot so far; check the turn of the head does not swap hairstyle or top. Shot 7, 15.83 to 17.0 s: close-up with an index finger raised to the face. Check the hand has a normal number of fingers and does not merge with the face.

04

Shop gate: 17.0 to 18.33 s

Shot 8, 17.0 to 17.25 s: full body in front of a closed metal shop security gate, only six frames long. Check the outfit matches the stage shot. Shot 9, 17.25 to 18.33 s: quick push-in jump cuts that end in a face close-up with red eyes, from about 17.6 s. Watch it at full speed first, then step through the last frames before 18.33 s.

05

Blue room and ending: 18.33 to 21.04 s [frames 440 to 505]

Shot 10, 18.33 to 19.0 s: blue-lit room, leaning with a thumbs-up. Check the thumb and hand. Shot 11, 19.0 to 19.5 s: blue close shot, cap on, both hands framing a large pendant chain at the mouth. Check the hands around the mouth and how headwear sits on your hair. Shot 12, 19.5 to 20.04 s: abstract blue textured close-up with no person in it. There is nothing of you to check. Shot 13, 20.04 to 21.04 s: dark blue face close-up with glowing red eyes, ending at 21.04 s (505 frames, the last one numbered 504).

06

Where the vocal sits

The rap runs almost continuously from 0.08 s to about 20.6 s, so it plays over every shot except the last half second of the final close-up. The booth is the only section staged as a performance at a mic, and at nearly nine seconds the frontal shot is where mouth timing matters most. Montage shots are short, mostly under 1.2 s, and read mainly as cuts on the music, so judge mouth timing in the booth first. If you trim your result, cut picture and sound together so the verse stays in time.

    Add your photo

    Upload one clear photo of the rapper: face visible, hair and outfit as you want them. Use a photo of yourself or of someone who has agreed to appear.

  2. 02

    Choose quality

    Pick 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote. It covers the full 21-second video plus your photo and scene preparation.

  3. 03

    Review every cut

    Watch the booth verse for mouth timing, then check that the same face holds through the stage, aisle, gate and blue-room shots and the red-eye close-ups.

01

One photo, every shot

Your photo plays the rapper in every shot with a person in it: the booth verse, the stage, the aisle, the gate and the blue room. Face, hair and outfit come from the photo, so wear what you want to see in every cut.

02

A verse, then a montage

The first 12.5 seconds stay in a warm wood-panelled vocal booth at a hanging condenser mic. The last 8.5 seconds cut quickly between four locations, ending on a close-up with glowing red eyes.

03

Red eyes where the reference has them

The glowing red eyes appear only in the face close-ups, the same as the reference. Everywhere else your eyes keep their natural colour.

04

A credited AI reference

The preview is @silkdamage's AI reel, not an Oakgen result. The rap is the reel's own audio; we could not identify it as a released song, so we do not name one.

Photo tips

  • One person in the photo
  • Face clearly visible
  • Wear the outfit you want in every shot
  • Plain clothes work best
  • Check the mic does not hide too much
  • Watch the red-eye close-ups

Questions & answers

What is the Red Eye Verse trend?

Red Eye Verse is Oakgen's descriptive name for an AI rap reel in which a rapper delivers a verse at a studio booth mic, then cuts through a fast montage that ends on glowing red eyes. Your photo replaces the rapper in every shot.

What song is in the video?

We could not match the rap to a released song or artist, and the reel does not name its audio. It may be an original or AI-generated track. The final MP4 keeps the reel's own sound, and we do not label it with a guessed title.

Is the rapper a real basketball player?

The reference performer is an AI-generated figure in a basketball jersey that resembles a real player. Oakgen is not affiliated with any player, team or league. Your result uses your photo and outfit, without team names, numbers or logos.

Will my video show a basketball jersey?

Only if your photo shows one. The rapper wears the outfit from your photo in every shot, and the template asks for plain clothes with no team or sponsor logos.

How long is the output?

The portrait 9:16 video is about 21.04 seconds at 24 frames per second, covering the booth verse and the full montage to the final red-eye close-up.

Does it keep the original sound?

Yes. The finished MP4 keeps the reference rap and beat. The vocal runs almost the whole clip, so check the mouth timing in the booth shots.

Can I change the locations or the lyrics?

No. The booth, the montage locations, the cuts and the audio are fixed by the reference. Your choices are the photo and the output resolution.

Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only use photos of yourself or of people who have agreed to appear, and do not use a celebrity's likeness. Label AI videos clearly when you share them.

Is the preview generated by Oakgen?

No. The preview is the credited Instagram AI reel by @silkdamage. It shows the scene and timing, not a result made from your photo.

How much does it cost?

4,597 credits per 720p video. The quote covers the full 21-second video, your photo preparation and the scene references for the booth and each montage location.
