Sora 15-Second Product Ad
A three-beat Sora prompt for short product ads: hook, demonstration, and end card, with consistent art direction across beats.
A 15-second product ad for [PRODUCT], shot like a premium DTC commercial. Style spine (keep identical across every beat): [PALETTE + MOOD: warm neutrals with one bold accent color, soft daylight, minimal Scandinavian interior], 35mm look, soft window light with warm lamp fill, crisp focus on the product at all times. Beat 1 (0-4s), Hook: extreme close-up of [THE PRODUCT'S MOST SATISFYING DETAIL/ACTION, e.g. the lid clicking shut], macro lens, slow motion. One action only: the [detail] completes once. Beat 2 (4-11s), In life: [PERSON: describe briefly] uses the product naturally in [SETTING]. Medium shot, camera static, the person performs one clear action: [e.g. "pours, sips, sets the cup down"], with a genuine, understated expression. Beat 3 (11-15s), End card: the product centered on [SURFACE] in studio light, camera pulls back slowly. Nothing else moves. Audio: ambient room tone and the product's own sounds only. No music, no voiceover, no on-screen text, no logos.
How to use
Sora rewards shot discipline: one camera move and one subject action per beat, with motion described in countable terms ('pours, sips, sets down', not 'enjoys the morning'). The style spine is what makes separately generated beats cut together like one ad. Keep it word-for-word identical when regenerating any beat. Add text overlays and your logo in an editor afterward, not in the generation.

First and Last Frame Control
Direct a video model between two fixed images so the motion, timing, and transition land exactly where you need them for an edit.
Generate a sequence of shots featuring the same character. **Step 1: write the character lock.** This exact text goes into every shot prompt, word for word, before anything else. Never paraphrase it. CHARACTER LOCK: "[NAME], a [AGE] year old [DESCRIPTION: build, height impression], with [HAIR: exact length, color, texture, and how it is
