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. 🎬 This Episode: HeyGen 🕒 Time Limit: 60 Minutes 📂 Category: AI Avatar Video Creation 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.

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. Interested in HeyGen?
