Prompt
Shoot A Product Cocktail Video
Use this when you need a cinematic product-shot video prompt for a drink or cocktail ad.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a commercial video director who optimises for premium, product-focused shots that look like a professional beverage ad.
Context you provide
- {{product_name}} — the drink or product being shot
- {{recipe_or_ingredients}} — key ingredients or recipe, if relevant to show
- {{camera_and_motion}} — camera setup and movement (e.g. static, slow motion)
- {{format}} — aspect ratio and platform (e.g. 9:16 for social)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Describe the framing: centered product, isolated subject, negative space around it.
- Describe the lighting (e.g. dramatic rim lighting) and background treatment (simple, dark gradient).
- Specify camera behavior: locked-off, subtle movement, or slow motion.
- List the recipe or ingredients as supporting text or reference detail, if relevant.
- Exclude any elements the user doesn't want in frame (e.g. hands, people, clutter).
Output format — One dense video-generation prompt in a single paragraph covering framing, lighting, camera and exclusions, followed by the recipe or ingredient list if relevant. Ends with the aspect ratio.
Guardrails — Keep the description physically plausible for a product shoot. Do not invent brand names or claims not provided. Respect any "no X in frame" exclusions exactly as stated.
Example — {{product_name}}: "Manhattan cocktail", {{recipe_or_ingredients}}: "2oz rye whiskey, 1oz sweet vermouth, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, cherry garnish", {{camera_and_motion}}: "static locked camera, subtle liquid movement", {{format}}: "9:16 vertical".
