   Intro selfie

   Uses: Matcha creator

   “Okay, so this is my actual morning matcha routine — honestly the easiest part of my day. I just sift a little matcha, add some hot water, and whisk it.”

   Image prompt

   Photorealistic vertical 9:16 portrait, authentic UGC / Instagram-creator style, shot on a phone in bright soft morning light. Subject: A 27-year-old woman, warm light-tan skin with natural texture, soft hazel eyes, full natural brows, light freckles across the nose, fresh clean-girl minimal makeup, calm friendly half-smile looking at the camera. Light chestnut-brown hair in a soft low loose bun with a few relaxed strands framing the face. Clothing: A relaxed oversized cream-oatmeal ribbed knit top, delicate thin gold necklace, small gold hoop earrings, a simple thin ring. Setting: Bright airy modern kitchen in soft morning sunlight. Light wood counter, a minimalist matcha setup softly blurred behind her — a pale ceramic matcha bowl, a bamboo whisk, a small sprig of eucalyptus in a vase. Warm white wall, gentle sun flare from a side window. Shallow depth of field, blurred background, 35mm lens look. Style: Hyper-realistic, natural skin detail, candid and approachable, true-to-life warm morning tones, soft daylight, gentle film grain, 4K, sharp focus on face, lifelike — like a real wellness creator's morning selfie-style video frame. Framing: Medium close-up, head and upper chest visible, centered, eye-level, vertical 9:16.

   Video prompt

   Use the character reference image. Photorealistic vertical 9:16 video, authentic phone-selfie UGC style, like a real lifestyle creator casually filming herself. Soft natural morning light, slight handheld camera shake, 35mm lens look, shallow depth of field, 4K, natural film grain, realistic skin texture with visible pores and freckles, natural eye blinks, realistic lip-sync, clear natural voice, quiet room tone, no music. WOMAN — late 20s, warm sun-kissed tan skin with light freckles, hazel-green eyes, full natural brows, fresh minimal clean-girl makeup, soft nude lips. Light-brown highlighted hair in a soft loose low bun with a few face-framing strands. Wearing a cream-oatmeal ribbed knit sweater, small gold hoop earrings, thin gold necklace and ring. ENVIRONMENT — bright airy modern kitchen, warm white wall, light wood counter. Softly blurred behind her: a pale ceramic matcha bowl, a bamboo whisk on a stand, eucalyptus sprigs in a vase. Gentle morning sun from a side window. ACTION & DIALOGUE (calm, natural, NOT exaggerated): She holds her phone in selfie position, relaxed and casual, looking into the camera with a soft natural expression — calm, friendly, understated, like talking to a friend. Minimal subtle hand movement, natural small head tilts, occasional natural blink, no theatrical gestures or big smiles. REALISM: Subtle, grounded, true-to-life behavior. No over-acting, no exaggerated emotions, no fast movements. Looks like a candid real video, not AI-generated.

   Whisk and pour

   8s
   Uses: Matcha creator

   “...just like that. Then I pour it over ice with a splash of oat milk. No crash, no jitters.”

   Image prompt

   Same character and kitchen as scene 1 — 27-year-old woman, warm light-tan skin with freckles, hazel-green eyes, cream-oatmeal ribbed knit sweater, light-brown hair in a soft low loose bun, gold hoops, thin gold necklace. Now framed slightly wider over a light wood counter: a pale ceramic matcha bowl in front of her with vibrant green matcha, bamboo whisk in hand mid-stroke, a tall clear glass of ice and a small carton of oat milk to the side, eucalyptus in a vase softly blurred behind, gentle side-window morning light. Photorealistic vertical 9:16, hyper-realistic skin detail, candid and approachable, true-to-life warm morning tones, soft daylight, gentle film grain, 4K, shallow depth of field, 35mm lens look.

   Video prompt

   Use the same character reference image. This continues directly from the first clip — same woman, same kitchen, same outfit and lighting, seamless flow. Photorealistic vertical 9:16 video, authentic phone-selfie UGC style, soft natural morning light, slight handheld camera shake, 35mm lens look, shallow depth of field, 4K, natural film grain, realistic skin texture with freckles, natural blinks, realistic lip-sync, clear natural voice, quiet room tone, no music. ENVIRONMENT — same bright airy kitchen, light wood counter, pale ceramic matcha bowl in front of her, bamboo whisk, eucalyptus in a vase softly blurred behind, gentle side-window morning light. ACTION & DIALOGUE (calm, natural, NOT exaggerated): She gently whisks the matcha in the ceramic bowl with relaxed natural wrist movement, glancing down then back at the camera. She calmly pours it over a glass of ice with a splash of oat milk, takes a small sip, and gives a soft understated smile — relaxed, real, like talking to a friend. Minimal subtle gestures, natural pauses, no theatrical expressions. REALISM: Subtle, grounded, true-to-life. No over-acting, no exaggerated emotions, no fast movements. Looks like a candid real creator video, not AI-generated.

   Animated hero shot

   8s
   Uses: Iced matcha hero shot

   Image prompt

   Vertical 9:16 stylized animated illustration, warm cozy hand-drawn / soft 3D animation style (like a charming lifestyle motion-graphic), NOT photorealistic. Subject: A beautiful glass of iced matcha latte on a light wood kitchen counter — vibrant green matcha swirling into creamy oat milk over ice cubes, soft condensation on the glass. Beside it: a pale ceramic matcha bowl with bright green matcha, a bamboo whisk resting on a small stand, and a few eucalyptus sprigs in a minimalist vase. Setting: Bright airy minimalist kitchen, warm white wall, soft morning sunlight casting gentle light rays and a soft shadow. Cozy, calm, clean aesthetic. Style: Aesthetic animated look — smooth soft shading, warm pastel tones, gentle highlights, clean lines, dreamy cozy morning-ritual vibe, slightly stylized but appealing. Soft depth of field on the background. High quality, polished, social-media aesthetic. Composition: Matcha glass centered as the hero, items arranged neatly around it, eye-level, vertical 9:16, clean negative space at the top for text.

   Video prompt

   Premium matcha commercial, scene matching the reference image on a sunlit wooden kitchen counter. The shot opens with a soft rack focus on the bamboo whisk and the bowl of bright green matcha powder in the foreground — a fine puff of matcha dust drifts in the warm sunbeam. The camera glides smoothly sideways and the focus racks elegantly to the tall glass of iced matcha latte, now the hero. As focus lands, vivid green matcha swirls and cascades down into the creamy milk in slow, satisfying marbled ribbons. Condensation beads bloom and slide down the frosted glass, catching golden light. A warm sunbeam sweeps gently across the counter, a soft lens flare flickering through the glass. Eucalyptus leaves sway lightly in a breeze. The motion settles into a flawless, irresistible final hero frame — the drink glistening, fresh, and calm. Cinematic, luxury, calm-morning mood. Macro detail, shallow depth of field, creamy bokeh, smooth gimbal movement, natural realistic color grade, 4K. Negative prompt: warping, distortion, morphing, jitter, fast jerky motion, extra objects, text, watermark, logo.
