Work the four modules in order. Block a weekend, load all 12 styles, fire a full batch at one product, and let the algorithm pick your winner. That's the whole game.
01 The $1/Video Pipeline
One toolchain, your own API keys, no credit trap. Run these five stages for every shell.
Image / scene: gpt-image-2 (fal) or Midjourney. Lock ONE reference for consistency.
Voice: ElevenLabs v2, light disfluencies + phone-mic treatment for realism.
Motion / lip-sync: fal Omni Flash (i2v) or HeyGen. 8–10s clips, stitch.
B-roll: gpt-image-2/edit + Omni Flash for product/context cutaways every 3–5s.
The Shotgun Method: fire all 12 styles at ONE product, name them [style]_[hook]_v[n], launch as one ad set, kill under 1.0 CTR, pour spend into the winner.
50-Hook Swipe File: scroll-stopping first lines for any shell.
Client Disclosure Script: how to position AI creative (disclose or white-label).
