Your mascot, waving hello
Brand mascots win when they show up everywhere. Upload a few photos of yours — a figure, a plush, a printed character — once and RefVid makes it wave at the camera and say a short hello, keeping its shape, colours and details. Change the line to your brand’s greeting.
5 s · 1:1 · with sound
Sign in, pick or add your subject, and the studio opens with this template filled in. Your first 3-second clip is free.
Made from these photos
What you get
- Your own mascot from 1–5 photos
- 1 shot, 5 seconds, square 1:1
- Its greeting spoken, generated with the video
- No watermark
Who it’s for
For small brands with a mascot drawing or figure, for cafés, schools and clubs that want a friendly welcome clip, and for illustrators showing clients their character in motion before paying for real animation.
The prompt
What the studio fills in for you. Your subject takes the place in brackets; you can change any of it.
- [your mascot] stands on a bright clean desk in front of a soft pastel backdrop, looks at the camera, waves one arm and says in a cheerful little voice: "Hi there, welcome in!" Gentle push-in.
Make it yours
Give it your greeting
Replace the quoted line with your shop’s welcome or a short product hello, kept to one short sentence.
Put it in your place
Swap the desk for your shop counter, a classroom shelf or a website-style colour backdrop in your brand colours.
Add a prop
Have the mascot hold your product, a sign without text, or a cup of coffee while it waves.
Photos that work best
Figures, toys and handmade pieces: 1–5 photos against a plain background, front first, then each side, close enough that the paint, stitches or material show. Turn the piece rather than moving the camera, so the light stays the same.
How it works
- Sign in and add your mascot from 1–5 photos. Each subject is saved once, so every later template takes one tap.
- The studio opens with this template filled in: the shot, 5 seconds, 1:1. Change any word you like.
- Press Generate. The clip is ready in a few minutes, without a watermark, and the same subject is there for the next one.
Questions
- Can my mascot say our brand name?
- Yes: the line is in quotes in the prompt. Short lines sound best.
- Do I need a 3D model?
- No. A few photos of the physical figure or plush, or clean renders of a drawn character from several angles, are enough.
- How much does this template cost?
- A new RefVid account’s free credits cover one 3-second clip. The full template is 5 seconds with sound: buy it as a single video, with no plan, or use credits from a pack or plan. Current prices are on the pricing page.
- Is mascot animation AI good enough for a brand?
- For a short welcome clip, yes. For a long animated film, a studio is still the right choice; this is the quick version that keeps your mascot on-model.
