Christmas Day is Dec 25, 2026. Make a 15-second promo for a local gym from three floor photos, with offer terms typed as caption cues and nothing invented.

A local gym can plan its early-January promo before Christmas Day (Friday, December 25, 2026, per OPM, read 2026-10-03), when owners are busy and members are away. Take three photos of the real floor, animate each for four to five seconds with Seedance 2.5, trim any over-long clip, and join them with Timeline. Caption cues carry the offer terms exactly as you type them, so the clip never shows a price or date a model guessed.

OPM provides the date only. Prices, membership terms and results are yours; a promo for a gym should make no claim about weight loss or health outcomes.

Three shots

Keep people out of frame unless they agreed, and keep the equipment as you actually have it.

Shot plan using the OPM date, read 2026-10-03.

Animate carefully

Equipment is hard for video models: bars bend, plates change count. Ask for a slow push-in with no people and no moving objects, and inspect the result.

Offer text and honest limits

Type the offer once, check it against your price sheet, and read it again after the render. Do not show before-and-after claims, health claims or testimonials you did not collect. Sume does not post the clip or run the campaign; you upload it to your own channels. The photo URL in the sample is a placeholder for an image you host over public HTTPS.
