Problem: Beauty Ads Die After 48 Hours

Most beauty ads in 2025 look identical: perfect faces, studio lighting, thirty seconds of product on a white background. Productions cost between 500,000 and 2 million PLN — and disappear from feeds after two days.

Average watch time: 8–12 secondsCompletion rate: <10%Organic lifecycle: 48 hoursIndustry performance plateau: permanent

 

Synthetic Souls Studio is a beauty advertising agency based in Warsaw, specializing in AI-driven advertising films for premium brands.We create video campaigns for luxury cosmetics,which achieve 3–6x better results than traditional creative agencies — thanks to Emotion Architecture™, not larger budgets. Our AI-driven beauty films build long lifecycles, high watch time, and a real emotional connection with the viewer.

EVELLE: Beauty Begins Where You Break

Watch the EVELLE movie trailer

EVELLE is a seven-minute film designed as a demonstration of a new paradigm in beauty advertising. It does not show the product. It shows transformation.

The protagonist experiences a genuine breakdown — trembling hands, wet hair, no makeup. This is a moment the beauty industry has avoided for decades, yet it generates the highest engagement metrics in the category.

Why It Works: Emotion Architecture™

Traditional beauty ads rely on aspiration. Emotion Architecture™ starts withrecognition: the viewer wants to see themselves, not an ideal.

Watch time of 45–62 seconds is the time needed for a full emotional arc to take effect.

Narrative Structure: Human360° Approach

Learn more about the Human360° methodology

Non-linear flashbacks revealing the protagonist's context:

  • Disco as illusion

  • Android factory as a system of expectations

  • Intimate flashbacks

  • Ritual of rebuilding

  • Return as an integrated version of oneself

This is not a campaign. It iscinematic storytelling.

Three Pillars of Production: What We Do Differently

1. Semantic Steering

Programming emotional vectors, not prompts.

2. Emotional Anchoring

The model understands the protagonist's arc — hence the face remains consistent across hundreds of frames.

3. Multi-Layer Narrative Architecture

Three layers: surface, emotional subtext, archetypal resonance.

Results: Data That Cannot Be Ignored

Traditional beauty ads: 8–12s watch time, <10% completion, 48h lifecycle.Emotion Architecture™: 45–62s watch time, 28–36% completion, 14–28 days.

This is not an "improvement" — this is adifferent type of performance.

FAQ

 

How much does it cost to produce a film using the Emotion Architecture™ approach?

Projects start from20K PLN for short forms (2–3 minutes) and reach150K+ PLN for feature-length brand films (7–10 minutes). This is still a fraction of the cost of traditional beauty productions (500K–2M PLN), which achieve <10% completion and only last 48 hours. In the Emotion Architecture™ model, a typical film costing 120K PLN lasts 14–28 days and achieves28–36% completion.Effect: cost-per-engaged-viewer is 15–20x better than in traditional beauty campaigns.

How long does production take from brief to delivery?

The complete process takes3–5 weeks, which is radically faster than 3–6 months with traditional productions.

  • Week 1: semantic mapping, brand analysis, and audience psychology

  • Weeks 2–3: narrative architecture, emotional blueprint

  • Weeks 3–4:AI-driven cinematic production (without casting, locations, logistics)

  • Week 5:final optimization and distribution strategy

AI workflow eliminates hundreds of barriers that slow down traditional production.

Can AI films compete in quality with traditional productions?

Yes. Our filmWELES (11-min)was created in 5 days and demonstrated:

  • a consistent face of the characters through660+ frames,

  • emotional credibility without uncanny valley,

  • broadcast-grade audio,

  • 28% completion after 3 weeks.

In comparison: traditional beauty campaigns have <10% completion and disappear after 48 hours.Results confirm that viewers accept AI films if they have emotional truth.

For which industries besides beauty does this approach work?

Emotion Architecture™ works wherever emotional connection matters, not just one-time CTR. We effectively implement it in:

  • luxury fashion

  • high-end automotive

  • artisanal spirits & fine wines

  • boutique hospitality

  • premium jewelry & watches

  • wellness, spa & transformation brands

Deciding factor: if customer LTV > 5K PLN and the purchase decision is emotional — ROI will be high.

Can I see the portfolio before making a decision?

Yes. During the consultation we present:

  • EVELLE case study,

  • WELES (11-min AI cinema),

  • selected commercial projects (some under NDA),
