Quick answer: Plan three to five shots, give each one camera move, render the longest takes your tool allows, and edit with music. Fewer, longer shots look more like real film.

Step by step

  1. Write a 30-second script in five beats.
  2. Assign each beat one shot and one move.
  3. Render each shot 6–10 seconds or longer.
  4. Edit to the music beat.
  5. Add the logo and one line of copy at the end.

Prompt to copy

Shot 2 of 4, 8 seconds: slow orbit around the model wearing [look], warm sunset rooftop, wind in fabric, anamorphic flare, steady movement, no cuts.

Replace the words in brackets with your own product, model or brief.

Common mistakes

  • Changing light direction between images in one set
  • Vague words like 'premium' or 'beautiful' instead of light, lens and colour
  • Publishing without checking product details at full size
