Master prompt2,271 characters
Create a realistic UGC-style (user-generated content) product review video, 20 seconds, vertical 9:16, that looks filmed on a phone by a real creator at home. Natural, warm and believable, not a polished advert.

CHARACTER A (the creator): a friendly woman in her mid-twenties with medium-length wavy brown hair, light makeup, wearing a cosy oversized sage-green sweater, sitting at a small wooden desk in her bedroom. She speaks directly to the camera in a natural, chatty way. Same outfit throughout.
THE PRODUCT: a small smart sunrise lamp shaped like a smooth white sphere on a light wooden base, which can glow warm orange, soft pink and calm blue; it comes in a plain recycled-kraft box with no logos or text. [REPLACE WITH YOUR PRODUCT.]

SETTING: a cosy bedroom corner in the evening: the desk with a laptop pushed aside, a plant, a mug, fairy lights on the wall, a bed with a knitted throw in the background, and blue dusk through the window.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: handheld phone footage in selfie mode at arm's length, slight natural shake, quick jump cuts like real creators use, warm lamp light plus cool window light, realistic skin texture, slightly imperfect framing, 30 fps.

[00:00-00:03] THE HOOK — Close to the camera, holding the box up: “Okay, I've been waiting for this lamp for a week.”
[00:03-00:07] THE UNBOXING — Jump cut: she opens the kraft box, lifts out the white sphere lamp and sets it on the desk, smiling.
[00:07-00:11] THE COLOURS — She taps the base; it glows warm orange, then soft pink, then calm blue; she looks at it, impressed: “Wait… that's so pretty.”
[00:11-00:15] THE HONEST BIT — Jump cut, closer to the camera: “The sunrise mode actually wakes me up gently. Setup took like two minutes.”
[00:15-00:18] THE VIBE — She turns off the main light; the room glows warm orange from the lamp; she wraps the throw around her shoulders.
[00:18-00:20] THE PAYOFF — Back to the camera, softly: “Yeah. Ten out of ten for cosy.” She gives a small thumbs-up.

SOUND: natural room tone, the crinkle of the box, a soft tap on the lamp, her natural voice with the lines above, and a soft lo-fi beat at low volume.
RULES: realistic, natural creator look and speech, no logos or brand names, no readable text, honest claims only (no medical claims).

Setup took like two minutes,” switches off the main light and ends with “Ten out of ten for cosy.” Handheld, jump cuts, warm and dusk light, lo-fi beat, no logos or text.

Tips for each AI model

Model What to do
Veo 3.1 Veo generates natural speech and lip-sync from quoted lines; keep each line short and casual.
Sora 2 Add 'filmed on a phone in selfie mode, slight shake' at the start for the authentic UGC feel.
Kling 2.5 Generate the visuals, then add the voice with a natural TTS voice and sync it in your editor.

How to make it, step by step

  1. Describe your product. Replace the lamp with your product and its key benefit.
  2. Write honest lines. Keep claims true and simple; avoid medical or exaggerated claims.
  3. Generate in parts. Hook, unboxing and verdict as separate clips with jump cuts.
  4. Test as an ad. Run it as a low-budget test ad against your polished ad and compare results.

Questions

Is it OK to use an AI presenter in ads?

It's allowed on many platforms, but you must follow their rules on disclosure and never make false claims. Some brands label these ads as AI-generated.

Why make it look imperfect?

Real UGC is shaky and casual. Polished AI videos look like ads, and people scroll past them.

Can I use my own voice?

Yes. Record the lines yourself and add them in editing; it often feels more authentic.
