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

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.
