Dark reveal
Out of pitch black: rim light, mist, droplets, one perfect beauty shot.

What the director is told
The frame starts in near-total darkness and the product emerges as moving light finds it: hard rim highlights draw its edges against black, a spotlight behind it turns a fine mist into glowing particles, macro droplets burst around its base. The camera works through dramatic angles — a tilted close-up of the label, a macro pass along the surface, a finger pressing the button or cap in slow motion, then a slow rotation around the whole product. Moody high-end aesthetic, cuts on the beat, ultra-realistic product commercial photography, 8k.
This is the brief every shot is written to. Your product replaces the example's; the world stays.

Questions
FAQ
Good questions
Can I use a creator with a viral format?
Five formats put a creator on camera — editorial cover, selfie vlog, unfiltered selfie, beauty demo and fashion editorial. The rest are product-led, so the creator step disappears.
Do the formats work for ad images too?
Most do. In the wizard the image looks show the formats that make sense as a still, including three that only exist as images: the flagship poster, the step-by-step grid and the 3-view product sheet.
Will my product look like the example?
The world will; the product will be yours. Every recipe keeps the product exactly as photographed, and the first frame is checked for it before filming.
