Ice rinks sell the empty sheet; generated skaters are a likeness problem
Facility plate of the ice. Captions for public-skate hours. Do not invent children's faces on the ice.
Facility plate of the ice. Captions for public-skate hours. Do not invent children's faces on the ice.
A rink that books is the sheet, the boards, the clock, the hours you actually run public skate. It is not a generated pack of smiling kids. Those faces are private people the model invented, often minors. Platforms treat under-18 likeness as a ban, not a style. Photograph or prompt an empty sheet. Burn the hours as type. Leave the faces off the ice.
Sell the empty sheet
The product is the facility: ice, glass, scoreboard, the rental counter in the distance if it is really there. Public skate is a time on a calendar, not a crowd you owe the model. A packed Friday night in a generate is a drawing of people who do not exist, including children the prompt did not bother to exclude. "Family fun on ice" is how those faces appear.
A deepfake of a private person is not a style. TikTok's AI-generated content rule is explicit about young people under 18 and adult private figures used without permission. Labelling the clip AI does not create a grant. "They are original characters who happen to look like kids" is not a defence. Keep people out of the prompt. Keep people out of the plate.
If you have a photo of your empty sheet — dasher ads, the city name in the glass, the ugly clock that is actually yours — that photo is the facility plate. Animate that. If you do not have a photo yet, get one. A morning sheet after Zamboni, no one on the ice, is enough. Do not prompt a prettier arena with a different logo.
Hailuo 02 is silent ice weather
Hailuo 02 is MiniMax's Hailuo 02 video generator: expressive physical motion, prompt-to-action fidelity, text-to-video. No image is required. Audio is false. Max output is 1080p. The catalog lists 8 credits. Styles: Cinematic, Documentary, Abstract. The catalog does not publish a duration ladder on this slug. Do not invent a 4 / 6 / 8 list from another model.
This row invents the plate from a sentence. That is allowed only when the sentence is empty ice: lights on the sheet, a slow drift, frost in the air, no skaters, no faces, no children. Documentary will not add crowd noise. Cinematic will not add a PA. Abstract will not hide a mute. Audio is off. Plan music later if you need a bed.
Because Hailuo 02 does not take a still, it will not hold your dasher ads. If the boards have to be yours, you are not on this slug — you are on image-to-video from the facility photo. Hailuo 02 is generic ice weather: a silent physical plate at 1080p, 8 credits listed. Use it when a generic empty sheet is honest. Do not use it when the city name in the glass is the point.
Write the verb: the lights hold, a slow push down an empty lane, the Zamboni already gone. Stop. "Happy families skating Friday night" is how you buy a likeness problem on a mute file.
Hours are captions, not generated kids
Muted autoplay still needs the hours. Hailuo will not letter them. The AI caption generator does both jobs the word "captions" covers, and keeps them separate. Subtitles are transcribed from speech and burned in. Overlays are text you wrote. A mute ice plate has nothing to transcribe. Public-skate hours are an overlay: a line you typed, top or bottom, the real calendar.
Add a text overlay to a video burns one authored string for the whole clip. Position is top, center, or bottom. Crop to 9:16 before you overlay. If Friday and Saturday need different lines, that is two burns or timed overlays — not a generate of a packed session for each day.
Do not ask Hailuo to typeset "Public skate 7–9" in the scoreboard. Prompted type is a miss you cannot edit. Keep the board clean in the generate, or keep the photographed clock and overlay the hours you actually run.
A constructed rink host explaining "what to do for a fall" is a health-adjacent persona. You do not need that mouth. The sheet plus the hours is the ad.
Nearby gym pages want people; this job does not
/for/climbing-gyms sells the send, shot from a reading angle, with real climbers who consented. A gym page sells member energy. Those audiences want people, because the product is a room full of members. An ice rink's public-skate ad is the opposite: the empty sheet is bookable space. Filling it with generated skaters does not prove the ice. It invents a crowd.
An event-venue page is empty-to-full of a styled event, often with permission from a real client. A rink can film a real session with a grant. That is photography, not a generate of children. Generation stays on the empty plate. Hours stay on as type.
The test is pause on any frame. If you see a face you could not introduce to a parent, you are in the likeness problem. Crop, reshoot, or regenerate with no people in the brief. The sheet is the SKU. The hours are the overlay. The kids are not yours to invent.
FAQ
Can we generate generic happy skaters if they are not real customers?
No. Invented faces are still likenesses, and invented children are the under-18 line platforms already wrote. Sell the empty sheet. Caption the hours.
Hailuo 02 has no image input — how is this a facility plate?
Generic empty-ice weather is the Hailuo job: silent 1080p, 8 credits listed, no people in the prompt. Your boards and clock are a photographed still on image-to-video. Do not expect Hailuo 02 to find your dasher ads from a sentence.
Do mute ice clips still need type?
If they autoplay muted and there are hours, a city, or a CTA, yes. Overlay the line you wrote. Hailuo 02 will not typeset it, and it has nothing to transcribe.
Why not Veo of a packed Friday night?
A packed generate is a crowd of invented faces, including minors. Veo is a cinematic talking row. The rink job is a silent empty sheet and an authored hours line. Do not buy a likeness problem because the feed likes crowds.
