Ad 01: the doctor (NerveAlive adaptation of the sciatica ad): See what red pepper seeds can do for nerve pain.

Ryan 26 Oct 2026: the NerveAlive openers are the sciatica openers he approved on 17 Oct (1A, 2A, 3A), same style and everything, with one change: red pepper seeds instead of the sweet potato. Hooks 2 and 3 never showed the potato, so their approved drawings and their approved Veo clips are reused unchanged with the new hook line composited by title_bar.py (no new render). Hook 1 is the approved 1A drawing edited by nano-banana-pro (18 KIE credits): the sweet potato becomes a red pepper split open with its seeds, pressed to the hip. The white headline bar with the hook line is composited, never drawn by the model; no 'Results may vary' line.

See what red pepper seeds can do for nerve pain.

The approved sciatica 1A picture with the potato swapped: a white headline bar across the top carrying the hook line in black (added in the edit, never rendered), below it the white line-art man curled on the floor on black, his nerve glowing orange from the hip to the foot, a split red pepper full of seeds pressed to his hip. Over 4 s the glow drains up out of the nerve into the pepper seeds, which end up the only thing lit. The doctor's voice says the hook over it; a beat of silence; hard cut to him on the first body word.

1A: the pepper seeds pull the fire outapproved

The approved sciatica 1A drawing, edited by nano-banana-pro with that drawing as the reference (26 Oct, 18 KIE credits): same man, same pose, same hands, same nerve; the sweet potato is now a red pepper cut open lengthwise with its seeds showing, pressed against the hip, the seeds nearest the hip starting to glow. Checked at full size and zoomed: five fingers on each hand, no lettering, one orange element. Approve it and the 4 s clip is made from it the same way as the sciatica one (first frame to a last frame where only the seeds glow, Veo 3.1, 60 credits). APPROVED by Ryan 26 Oct (in chat).

There's something in your kitchen right now that could be fueling your nerve pain.

The approved sciatica 2A opener, unchanged: the line-drawn kitchen at night, the man at the counter with his hand on his hip, the cupboard open a crack leaking orange light, the thread of glow running down the wall, along the floor and up his leg. Only the hook line on the bar is new.

What happens to nerve pain when you take this one red pepper seed compound at night might surprise you.

The approved sciatica 3A opener, unchanged: the man in profile, mouth open, raising a bite hidden behind the black question-mark block, his nerve blazing orange down the leg. Only the hook line on the bar is new.

Ryan 26 Oct 2026: the openers are the approved sciatica ones with red pepper seeds in place of the sweet potato and nothing else changed. Hooks 2 and 3: the exact Veo clips approved on 17 Oct (silent, 4 s, 720p), re-barred with the new hook line by title_bar.py, every frame checked on the 4 fps tile sheet. Hook 1: made from the 1A still once it is approved, the same way as the sciatica one (first frame to a last frame where only the pepper seeds glow, Veo 3.1 fast, 60 KIE credits), then barred and checked.
