Welcome to the Out of The Box Series — where I test how far curiosity and AI can take you in 30, 60, or 90 minutes, using today’s best no-code and low-code tools.
No setup. No training. Just pure exploration — right out of the box.

What is HeyGen?
HeyGen is an AI video generation platform that turns a photo or default avatar, and a text script into lifelike talking videos.
💡 What I Built in 60 Minutes:
Using a series of five close up photos, a few short scripts and HeyGen’s My Avatar, Voice Mirror, and Create Video features I created My Avatar.
Once the photos (shown below) were uploaded, I generated a full talking video by just entering a script.
Real Avatar Videos:
Side Photo (6 seconds):
Front Photo Holiday Message (24 seconds):
Front Photo Holiday Message, Final (24 seconds)
This is what out of the box really looks like. Just a few photos, a few prompts, and 60 minutes. While it show and renders my teeth a bit off, over all it is rapidly improving.
Have a blessed and creative AI day!
