Final prompt (paste into Veo / Gemini / Flow):

Premium commercial look, photorealistic, vertical close-up at counter height of a matte black ceramic pour-over coffee dripper with a thin polished copper rim, sitting on a clear glass carafe on a walnut kitchen counter by a window in the early morning just after sunrise. A thin stream of dark coffee trickles from the dripper into the carafe while soft steam curls up from the rim, and the dripper and carafe turn a slow quarter turn. Slow dolly in, 85mm-style telephoto feel, shallow depth of field with the kitchen background in soft bokeh. Soft low-angle morning sunlight from a window on the left with gentle fill and a warm rim light catching the copper, palette of matte black, warm copper, honey-brown walnut and soft cream highlights, calm and quiet mood. Real-time pace; the final second holds still on the dripper's front.
Audio: close, clear sound of coffee trickling into a glass carafe, a faint soft drip, quiet low morning room tone, no music.
Negative prompt: text, logos, letters, labels, hands, people, clutter, reflections of people, plastic look

Promise bullets:
- 12 Figma templates that map to the briefs clients actually send
- A Notion brief generator: 4 questions in, a fillable scope out
- A 9-question client questionnaire that ends the "can you just tweak this?" loop

Objection handler: "Not a course. Not a community. Just the four files you wish someone had given you in year one."
CTA: "Pre-order for $49 — ships in 14 days. Refund if you don't use it."

Red team (as an investor who watched ten of these fail): the failure mode you are underestimating is not demand, it is the second purchase. Templates sell once; the Notion generator is the only piece with a reason to come back. Measure: of the first 50 buyers, how many open the generator twice in 30 days. If under 20%, the next product is a generator, not more templates.

Scene 2 of 4 in a continuous short film. Use the attached character reference image.

Character (repeat verbatim in every scene prompt): a woman in her thirties, shoulder-length brown hair, navy blazer over a white shirt, warm intelligent expression — same face, same hair, same outfit, same build as the reference. No changes to wardrobe or hairstyle between scenes.
This scene: she pushes open the glass door of an empty office and walks in, slowing as she takes in the space, in a sunlit open-plan office at sunrise.
Camera: wide shot that begins a slow push-in as she enters.
Lighting: low golden sunrise through floor-to-ceiling windows — keep the colour temperature consistent with scene 1.
Ends on: her hand resting flat on a desk, centre frame — hold this frame for the final second so scene 3 can match-cut from it.
Audio: footsteps on hard floor and quiet office ambience; no music; no dialogue.
Avoid: additional people, mirrors, reflective surfaces, text, logos, any object she did not carry in scene 1.

Continuity check against scene 1: same blazer, same hair length, same warm temperature. Scene 3 will open on a hand on a different surface.

Image-to-video, 8 seconds, from the attached reference still.

Locked (must not change): the woman's face, pose and wardrobe; the café table, the window and every object on the table; the cream-and-sage palette; the camera angle and framing; the light direction from the window.
Motion (subtle, continuous): steam rising from the coffee cup; a few strands of hair lifting in a soft breeze; she turns one page of the book.
Timing: the page turn happens once, at second 3; steam and hair are ambient and barely visible.
Camera: static.
Audio: quiet café ambience with distant cups, one soft paper rustle at second 3. No music.

Result: the photograph breathes — the frame is identical to the still at second 0 and second 8; the page turn is the only event. Render 2 of 3 drifted the background chair; rendered again with the same prompt and kept render 3.
