Hallowen at Eachlabs 🎃

From the first flicker of candlelight to the final haunting shadow, we took a Halloween prompt on a twisting journey through nine eerie prompts and turned them into cinematic video magic. Using Nano Banana and Seedream4, we generated chilling visuals, then brought them to motion with three powerhouse video models: WAN 2.5, Sora 2, and Google VEO3. Meanwhile, for consistent cohesion, a specialized “first & final frame” model handled every beginning and ending transition.

Throughout this experiment, we compare how each video model interprets the same prompts, observe their strengths in style, motion, and atmosphere, and show side-by-side outputs that take you deeper into the Halloween spirit.

Dive in — the shadows are about to move.
