Every Happy Horse clip, with the prompt

Each brief went to every model with the identical prompt. Scores are out of 10 for the brief, not for looks.

Motion design

4.5/10
3rd of 6. No video model wins this brief: Claude Opus 5.5 writing the motion in code beat all of them.

Readable mark, weak choreography. Fine for moodboards, not shipping motion.

PromptPremium motion design brand intro. On a deep navy background, bold white geometric shapes slide, snap and morph, assembling into the wordmark 'SPRITES'. Flat 2D vector, electric orange and lilac accents, smooth easing.
All 6 models on this prompt

Face realism

8.0/10
3rd of 6. Won by Seedance 2.0 Fast.

Extreme pore detail and a strong expression; skews older and over-textured.

PromptExtreme close-up portrait of a woman in her early 30s with freckles and natural skin, soft window light. She looks down, lifts her eyes to camera and breaks into a shy smile; subtle eye movement and a blink. 85mm, photorealistic.
All 6 models on this prompt

E-com product ad

7.5/10
4th of 6. Won by Kling 3.0.

Most luxurious bokeh; the cap morphs shape by the end.

PromptLuxury product ad: amber perfume bottle, gold cap, label 'NOIR', on a wet black stone plinth. Water splash erupts in slow motion, warm rim light, camera orbits 90°. High-end commercial.
All 6 models on this prompt

UGC creator ad

8.5/10
2nd of 6. Won by Seedance 2.0 Fast.

Most believable phone selfie: close framing, real reactions, label stays upright.

PromptVertical smartphone selfie, UGC style. A friendly woman in her 20s in a bright bathroom holds a white serum bottle to camera, tilts it to show the label, taps it and smiles while talking. Handheld, natural daylight, not cinematic.
All 6 models on this prompt

Physics & action

8.0/10
2nd of 4. Won by Kling 3.0.

Great crown splash and shards; the glass slides oddly before it drops.

PromptA hand knocks a full glass of red wine off a marble counter. It falls, hits the tiled floor and shatters, wine splashing outward. Slow motion, realistic fluid and glass physics.
All 4 models on this prompt

The “Storm” crowd dance

7.0/10
1st of 3. No model delivered a usable take on this brief.

Nails the look: grey gym, uniforms, stoic centre figure. But the crowd barely dances.

PromptWide symmetrical shot in a grey school gym: dozens of young men in navy uniform blazers do a rigid, perfectly synchronised routine, while one pale young man in a white shirt stands still and stoic in the centre. 16mm grain, arthouse music-video look.
All 3 models on this prompt

Rapper on orange

6.5/10
3rd of 3. Won by Seedance 2.0 Fast.

Right orange and mood; he barely raps.

PromptA charismatic young rapper in an oversized black hoodie and silver chain performs to a static camera against a seamless bright orange backdrop, head nods, expressive hand gestures, rapping with energy. Clean studio light.

Where Happy Horse wins and breaks on ads

Use it for

  • The most believable phone selfie: close framing, real reactions, the label stays upright.
  • Physics with a great crown splash and shards.
  • Nails a look: the grey gym, the uniforms and the stoic centre figure on the trend brief.
  • The most luxurious bokeh on a product shot.

Watch out for

  • Faces skew older and over-textured.
  • Product geometry drifts: the perfume cap morphs by the end.
  • Performance is weak: the rapper barely raps and the crowd barely dances.
  • Motion design is readable but the choreography is weak.
