• 
  Restore an old photo and hug your younger selfBring an old photo back and step into it. Sensei repairs the creases, scratches and faded colour, then films you today walking into that summer afternoon to hug your younger self. The most shared video you will make this year. Our example restored a 1970s lake photo.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Selfie to boxed action figure, then a 360 spinYou, sealed in a collectible blister pack with accessories that fit your life, then spun on a studio turntable like a toy-store reveal. Same face, same hair, same outfit in glossy plastic. The perfect post for your birthday, your team or your brand.Pixel Dojo
• 
  One selfie to a week of influencer postsOne selfie, seven days of content: café Monday, pilates Tuesday, an outfit check, a cooking night, a rooftop Friday, a coastal walk and a cozy Sunday. Same face, same hair, a new place every day. Post a full week from one photo.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Clone a viral ad for your productSee an ad that is blowing up? Clone it shot for shot with your product in it. Sensei keeps the hands, the setting, the timing and the reveal, swaps your product in with its label intact, then adds the hook, a review card and an end card that make short-form ads convert. Our example turned a bottle gift-reveal into a candle ad.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Family photo to holiday card and video cardTurn an everyday family photo into this year's holiday card: everyone in matching sweaters on a snowy cabin porch, your family name in gold, ready to print. Then the card comes alive, snow falling, everyone waving, the dog wagging, so you can text it too. Every face stays exactly who it is.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Song to music videoUpload your song and get a finished music video: your artist performing every line in lip sync, neon rooftops, rain-slick streets and a chorus with the crew, cut to your track. The same face in every shot, your audio untouched. Our example made a full 30-second neon pop video for an original song.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Sizzle reel and hero loopA music-driven sizzle for your homepage, launch or pitch. Sensei builds a reel of striking shots, each one different, cuts them on the beat with big kinetic headline words, and ends on your logo and URL. It also makes a silent 20-second version that loops seamlessly for your website's hero, plus a poster frame. It works with the sound off. Our example is a homepage sizzle for Pixel Dojo.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Host-led explainer episodeA documentary-style explainer with your own on-camera host. The host talks to camera in a few locations, the narration cuts to cinematic b-roll on the key words, and lower thirds and quote cards carry the facts. The same face in every shot, lip sync checked line by line. Our example is "The Last Invention", an explainer about AI.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Tutorial series episodeOne episode of a tutorial series that looks like a set. Each episode teaches a single feature, opens with a quick recap, and ends by teasing the next one, with the same title card, narrator, music and colours every time. Our example is an episode of Pixel Dojo's Sensei series.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Screen tutorial with a narratorTurn your web app into a polished how-to video. Give Sensei the link and the steps. It clicks through your product in a real browser, writes the script and narrates it in one warm voice. Smooth zooms, a gliding cursor, highlights and captions are all included. Our example teaches Pixel Dojo's video effects in under two minutes.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Product launch trailerA movie-trailer launch for your product: macro shots of the details, the product proving itself in the real world, a hero with it at the summit, and your line on the final frame. Fast cuts, a score that builds, 1080p and ready for your launch day. Our example launched a made-up insulated bottle.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Listing photos to a real-estate reelThe listing reel that stops the scroll: a search bar types out the dream, the camera dives from orbit straight down to the front door, then glides through the rooms. Vertical, cut with crossfades and music, ready for Instagram and TikTok. Built from the listing photos you already have.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Product photo to holiday ad setOne product photo in, a whole holiday season out: a cozy Christmas mantel shot, a Black Friday hero with your offer in gold, and a New Year rooftop shot with your line. Your product stays exactly itself in every scene. Our example dressed a made-up sage green bottle for all three.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Product link to 3 UGC ads (Black Friday cut)Paste your Shopify or Amazon link and get three vertical UGC ads that feel nothing alike: a creator testimonial, an unboxing and a gift reveal. The testimonial gets the Black Friday cut, with a hook, a 40% off badge, a ticking countdown and an end card. Three ads to test, ready to run.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Diwali greeting packEverything you send for Diwali, in one go: a printable greeting card with your family name in gold, a WhatsApp status image and an 8-second Reel where the diyas flicker and fireworks bloom behind your greeting. Your words spelled right, every time. Our example made the Mehta family's pack.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Halloween horror short starring youStar in your own found-footage horror short, shot like a camcorder tape someone found the morning after Halloween. Give Sensei your photos and a spooky setting. It writes the scare, casts you and the monster, films every shot in the VHS look and cuts it to a tape-static ending. Made for Reels, TikTok and the group chat.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Remake an ad for your productFound an ad that works? Give Sensei the clip and a photo of your product. It keeps the ad's structure, pacing, framing and energy, swaps in your product with its label intact, and writes your own line for the presenter. The example rebuilt a sunscreen testimonial for a made-up cold brew can.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Billboard and truck ad mockupsSee your campaign out in the world before you buy the space: your product and headline on a city billboard at dusk and on a delivery truck wrap, plus a short clip of traffic flowing under the billboard. Handy for pitches, investor decks and social teasers.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Merch drop: design and mockupsA print-ready graphic with your exact words, then the same design on a flat-lay tee, on a person and on a tote and cap. Everything you need to announce a drop. Our test made a 1970s surf club logo and three mockups for under 10 credits.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Product 360 spinA clean studio turntable for any product: a hero still on a pedestal, then a full 360 degree rotation with light gliding over the materials. Good for product pages, ad openers and launch posts. Our example spins a made-up coral and lime running shoe.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Before and after room makeoverShow a room before and after a redesign in one satisfying shot. Sensei restyles your room photo from the same camera position, then animates a sweep of light that turns the old room into the new one. Built for interior designers, stagers, renovators and anyone pitching a makeover.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Listing video from room photosA home tour from the photos you already have. Each room gets a slow, steady camera move (a glide, a pan, a rise) so the space reads as real, then the rooms are joined with soft crossfades over warm acoustic music. Our example tours a made-up Spanish-style bungalow in 13 seconds.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Outfit reelFour looks, four places, one person, cut to a beat. Give it a photo of your creator or model and the outfits you want, and Sensei makes a full-body still of each look, animates a walk, twirl or turn for each, and cuts them into a vertical reel over a runway track.Pixel Dojo
• 
  9 cinematic shots from one imageTurn one still into a full shot list: close-up, over-the-shoulder, aerial, low angle, profile, detail insert, wide and more, all with the same person, wardrobe, place and light. Useful for storyboards, pitch decks and carousel posts. Our test took a man in a yellow raincoat on a fjord ferry to nine angles.Pixel Dojo
• 
  Prime Time episodeThe recipe behind Pixel Dojo's Prime Time episodes: a 1980s action-show parody where a cool hero duo and their dog beat an absurd giant threat, usually our three-headed inflatable dragon. Bring your own heroes and threat. Sensei writes a trailer-paced shot list, makes a still per beat, animates each one with sound effects, scores it and cuts it on the beat.Pixel Dojo
