I used for generating images on ChatGPT
Background
I usually generate the background first to maintain visual consistency throughout the video. In this case, I requested a background in a color palette that complements the bar’s tones and ingredients. If you’re unsure about the right color palette, simply upload a photo of your product and ask ChatGPT which colors would complement it and look visually appealing in both photos and videos.
🎬 PROMPT — Minimal Premium Chocolate Gradient BackgroundUltra-realistic cinematic background, no visible surface, no table, no floor.
Smooth vertical gradient transitioning from warm milk chocolate brown at the bottom to deep dark chocolate brown at the top.
Soft atmospheric depth, subtle volumetric light.
Very minimal floating ingredients around the edges only: a few almonds, a couple of hazelnuts, small dried apple cubes and tiny cinnamon particles gently suspended in air.
Only 2–3 almonds and 2 apple pieces in sharp focus.
Everything else softly blurred with different depth of field layers (foreground and background bokeh).
Clean empty space in the center for product placement.
Premium organic food advertising style, macro lens feel, shallow depth of field, f/2.0, cinematic lighting, soft golden rim light, warm brown palette, 8K, ultra-detailed but not busy.
Vertical 9:16 composition.
Shot 1
Take a picture of your product and send it to ChatGPT with the request on screenshot below, including ingredients.
After that ask ChatGPT to generate the image using just generated prompt
🎬 PROMPT — Dramatic Floating Food Commercial Ultra-realistic cinematic food commercial shot.
The Elevation “Pure & Simple – Apple Pie” fruit & nut bar (beige top and bottom, green center packaging with apple illustration) floating in mid-air.
Surrounded by almonds, hazelnuts, glossy dates, small dried apple cubes and cinnamon particles suspended in motion.
A few almonds and apple pieces in sharp focus near the bar, other ingredients softly blurred in foreground and background (shallow depth of field, macro lens look, f/1.8).
Warm chocolate-brown gradient background, no visible table or surface.
Dramatic studio lighting:
• soft top spotlight
• subtle golden rim light outlining the bar
• soft shadow underneath for depth
• cinematic contrast
High-speed photography feel, ingredients frozen mid-air.
Premium organic advertising style, 8K, ultra-detailed textures, glossy highlights on dates, realistic packaging reflections.
Vertical 9:16 composition.

Shot 2
Take a picture of your product without package with the request on my screenshot. Make sure that the background the same as on the Shot 1
(please see above)
🎬 PROMPT — Replace Wrapped Bar with Unwrapped Natural BarReplace the packaged fruit & nut bar with a realistic unwrapped apple pie fruit & nut bar (rectangular shape, visible chopped almonds, nuts and fruit pieces inside, natural brown texture).
Keep the same position, size and floating orientation in mid-air.
Maintain the dramatic warm chocolate lighting:
• soft top spotlight
• subtle golden rim light
• cinematic contrast
The bar should look natural, slightly glossy from dates, with detailed nut texture visible.
Surrounded by floating almonds, hazelnuts, dates, dried apple cubes and cinnamon dust.
Shallow depth of field — a couple of almonds and apple pieces in sharp focus, others softly blurred in foreground and background.
No packaging. Organic, premium, appetizing texture.
Cinematic food commercial style, ultra-realistic, 8K, high-speed photography feel, dramatic chocolate-brown background.
Vertical 9:16 composition.

Shot 3
I thought it would be easier to just take a picture of what I wanted instead of describing it. Even though I can describe things, sometimes it’s not that simple — so I took a real photo and used it as a reference. I also used generated background to keep the atmosphere background and lightning consistent from frame to frame throughout the video. Result and prompt please see below
🎬 PROMPT — Natural Bars on This Chocolate Backgroun dUse a dark warm chocolate-brown gradient background exactly like the reference image — rich cocoa tones fading into deep dark chocolate with soft glowing light in the center.
Keep the matte textured chocolate surface visible at the bottom.
Place several unwrapped apple pie fruit & nut bars on the surface in a natural stacked formation (4–5 pieces).
Bars should have visible chopped almonds and fruit pieces, rich brown color, slightly glossy texture from dates.
Around the bars, add small dried apple cubes and whole almonds placed naturally on the surface and also slightly floating nearby.
Create depth of field:
• front bar in sharp focus
• a couple of almonds and apple pieces in sharp focus
• other ingredients softly blurred in foreground and background
Warm dramatic studio lighting from above and slightly from the side, creating cinematic shadows and contrast.
Moody premium organic food photography style, ultra-realistic texture detail, 8K, shallow depth of field, editorial food magazine aesthetic.
Vertical 9:16 composition.
Shot 4
I highlighted the specific area I wanted to turn into an extreme close-up shot (they always enhance the video), and asked ChatGPT to generate that selected section.
Extreme close-up macro shot of the top fruit and nut bar from a stacked composition, focus on the upper surface and texture. Visible almond chunks embedded in a dense, glossy date-based mass. A few small crushed almond pieces resting naturally on top.
Cinematic dramatic lighting from above, warm spotlight beam creating soft highlights on the nuts and subtle gloss on the sticky texture. Fine cocoa powder particles floating in the light beam.
Shallow depth of field (f/2.0 look), sharp focus on the almond piece at the center top, background smoothly blurred with warm chocolate-brown gradient tones.
Highly detailed texture: visible nut fragments, slight sugar crystallization, natural uneven edges. Ultra-realistic food photography, 85mm macro lens, studio quality, rich warm tones, dark moody background.
Shot 5 & 6 Horizontal bar+Cracked bar
This was the most challenging step. I initially wanted to skip generating the bar in a horizontal position (Shot 5) and go straight from the bar from Shot 2 to the cracked version (Shot 6). However, during the animation Kling didn’t produce realistic movement into the broken bar. So I decided to generate this intermediate step to rotate the bar horizontally within the frame (Shot 5) and then to cracked bar (Shot 6).
Need a 9:16 frame.
The bar from photo 1 is currently vertical — rotate it 90 degrees and place it onto the background from image 2, keeping exactly the same lighting and background atmosphere.
There was no prompt. I just asked ChatGPT to generate the image, attached the reference images (as shown in the previous screenshot), and included this request:

Need a 9:16 frame.
The bar from photo 1 is currently vertical — rotate it 90 degrees and place it onto the background from image 2, keeping exactly the same lighting and background atmosphere.
Result
Create the same bar, floating but broken in half, on the same background. Add crumbs around it, and make sure the broken cross-section is clearly visible and facing the camera (so the inside of the bar is turned toward the viewer).

Shot 7
I want to add a short segment to the video featuring ingredients of the bar: dried fruits, almonds, apples, and dates. I’d like it to feel beautiful and visually expressive, almost like an exposure shot.
🎬 PROMPT — Ingredients Falling, Hitting Surface, Flying Toward Camera Ultra-realistic high-speed food commercial photography.
Almonds, hazelnuts, square apple cubes, and fine cinnamon crumbs are pouring from above in large quantity, as if a full bucket was dumped.
They fall downward, hit a dark matte chocolate-colored surface, and explode outward —
some pieces bounce and scatter across the surface,
others fly forward toward the camera.
Camera is positioned slightly below surface level, looking slightly upward.
Strong perspective depth —
• foreground ingredients large and partially motion blurred
• mid-ground pieces in ultra sharp focus
• background softly diffused
Dramatic warm spotlight from above creates impact shadows on the surface.
Cinnamon dust bursts in the air on impact, illuminated by rim light.
Rich chocolate-brown to deep amber gradient background.
High contrast cinematic lighting, volumetric light rays.
Ultra detailed textures: almond skin texture, glossy hazelnuts, moist apple cubes.
Shot as if captured at 1000fps on a Phantom high-speed camera.
Luxury premium food advertising aesthetic.
8K resolution, shallow depth of field.

Creating a video/Animation

I used Kling Ai/Kling Ai App on phone for animation
Code for get bonus credits when subscribing 7BSED9UZSTWA
Prompts for Animation on Kling AI
Create a seamless transformation from Image 1 (wrapped bar) into Image 2 (unwrapped bar).The wrapper is removed step by step in a clean, premium product-commercial style:The wrapper edges crinkle slightly and loosen.The top seal tears open with a subtle pull.The wrapper slides downward in small increments, revealing the bar underneath.More of the bar becomes visible with each moment — first the top texture, then the full surface.The wrapper fully slides off and exits the frame, leaving only the unwrapped bar.Keep the bar position, scale, and camera angle consistent throughout (no jumping).Maintain the same dramatic studio lighting and color palette; match shadows and highlights as the wrapper disappears.The final frame must perfectly match the unwrapped bar look (Image 2): realistic texture, nuts visible, sharp details.Smooth motion, high-end commercial feel, slight slow motion, realistic crinkles and reflections on the wrapper.No text, no hands, no extra props, clean background.
Seamless transition between image 1 and image 2. Image 1 falling down on the table
Bar on Image 1 cracks and seamlessly turns into bar on image 2. Crumbs from the bar fly only after it breaks.
A thin glossy stream of caramel cascades over the top and sensually flows down the sides of the bars in slow motion . The camera moves from left to right without turning, simply passing by.
The stream of nuts and apple cubes from image 2 knocks over the broken bar in image 1. The bar’s halves from image 1 flying directly to the camera flying by from both sides and we see image 2
Part 3
Editing

Even after generating all your clips, your video is still far from polished — even if you edit them together.
Here are the exact techniques I use to create the high-quality videos you see on my reels.
Bonus Class - Free Ai tools for similar product videos
Important note: If you want to create videos faster, save time, and get the best results, I wouldn’t recommend relying on these tools as your primary ones. However, I do occasionally use them as supplementary tools.
For the video we’re breaking down in this masterclass, I didn’t use any of them.
Please check Google AI Pro package in Gemini app. Its available for free for a month and gives you the unlimited access to Nanobanana 2 image generator (new model) and credits for Flow -to create animation

Recreate this video (or make your own version with your product), share it in your IG Stories, tag @saofia_video and write “masterclass” — and I’ll repost it to my Stories 💥

What if I want to create my own video
from scratch?
To create product videos from scratch and communicate much more effectively with ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude when writing prompts, you need more than just ideas — you need a strong foundation.
It is important to understand:

  1. Angles and beautiful shot compositions
  2. Lighting setup and flattering lighting schemes
  3. Props and how to use details in the frame
  4. Transitions
  5. Composition
  6. Camera movement
  7. The logic behind ad-style storytelling
  8. Textures and how different materials behave on camera
  9. Color palettes and color combinations
  10. How to convey mood and style through visuals

Right now, the most beautiful product angles are already available for download in PDF format. And it does not matter what kind of product you shoot — beauty, food, fashion, or anything else.
The rest of the materials are currently in development and will be available later.

How to create Hologram on a product with Ai (soon)
Animation workflow appears here soon
Step 1 - Changing background
First, I took a photo of the product — Collagen Boosting Gummies.

When taking the photo, make sure the resolution is set to 9:16 (so it works for Reels) or 4:3 if you plan to use it for an Instagram post or carousel.
Also, when photographing the product, check that in the initial photo there is enough empty space on the right and left sides, because we will later place holograms there

If you are satisfied with the background in your photo, you can skip this step. If not, let’s change the background using ChatGPT (or Gemini).

I uploaded the product photo and wrote a request in ChatGPT for a Professional prompt for my idea :

'Write a prompt where the background looks like a kitchen countertop covered with vegetables and fruits.'

(the result-prompt for generating a new background please see below).
After I received the Prompt from Chat GPT for the background ,
I sent second request to ChatGPT
(with attached initial photo of the product):

Generate the image using this prompt : Ultra-realistic lifestyle product background, modern bright kitchen interior with a light beige marble countertop and soft natural daylight coming from the left side. The countertop is naturally filled with fresh vegetables and fruits — watermelon slices, strawberries, leafy greens, cucumbers, lemons, avocados, and glass jars with nuts. Everything looks organic and slightly messy but aesthetic, like a healthy morning routine. Background softly blurred with shallow depth of field (85mm lens, f/2.0), strong foreground separation and creamy bokeh. Neutral warm tones, no harsh colors, no distracting packaging, no text. Clean wellness aesthetic, soft natural shadows, cinematic lighting, subtle premium glow, high dynamic range, natural light reflections on marble surface, luxury health brand advertising style. The center foreground area is clear, brighter, and slightly more in focus to allow product compositing and future hologram overlay. No logos, no brand labels, no plastic packaging, no clutter chaos, no dark dramatic lighting, no oversaturated colors. High resolution, commercial photography, professional advertising quality.
Step 2- Hologram effect
For the generation, I attached the product photo with the background already replaced to create the hologram scene, as well as three images of alternative products that will appear in the side product menu panel.

If you don’t need images of additional products, you can simply skip attaching them, and the AI will generate generic icons or placeholders for the menu.

If you don’t need the side product menu panel, you can remove that section from the prompt.

When creating a prompt for your own project, make sure to replace the information in my prompt in the following sections:

• Title
• Data Panel
• Active Benefits Panel

Also, if you include a side panel with your own products, make sure to replace the product names and information in that section of the prompt as well.

If you’re not sure what product information should replace the details in my prompt, simply upload a photo of your product to ChatGPT and ask what information can be placed in each specific section.

Step 3- Animated Hologram effect
I used Kling Ai app, please check the video. Please feel free to download the sounds for hologram here:
Prompt for animation/ Kling Ai app
The soft pink hologram gently appears starting besides image 1 from layer to layer from button to button, the numbers growing gradually and the image becomes image 2
you can use Flow (free Ai tool i mentioned earlier) as an alternative
Hologram 2
Animation workflow appears here soon
Step 1 - Changing background
I did this background and hologram images on
Artlist platform. Model- Nanobanana 2.
But you can try any image generator
Replace the plain wall background with a bright, luxury spa-style bathroom interior with soft warm ambient lighting.

Keep the original hand and product 100% realistic, sharp, and untouched.

The environment should feel premium, calm, and softly illuminated — like a high-end skincare campaign shot in a beautifully styled bathroom during the day, but without visible windows or direct sunlight.



ENVIRONMENT DETAILS

• Modern double vanity with beige or cream marble countertop
• Subtle marble backsplash with elegant natural veining
• Two arched mirrors with brass or soft gold frames
• Warm brass wall sconces on each side of mirrors
• Soft neutral walls (cream / warm beige)
• Minimal decor

Add subtle spa styling:

• Rolled neutral-toned towels
• A small elegant vase with soft flowers
• A few candles (unlit or very softly glowing)
• Clean, uncluttered surface



LIGHTING

• Bright ambient lighting
• Soft warm tone (not dark, not moody)
• Even illumination across the room
• No dramatic shadows
• No heavy contrast
• No visible windows
• No direct sunlight beams

The scene should feel airy and refined, not dim.

• Gentle soft reflections on the metallic cylinder
• High dynamic range
• Balanced exposure



DEPTH OF FIELD

• Background softly blurred (85mm lens look)
• Product and hand remain tack sharp
• Shallow depth of field
• Soft elegant bokeh



STYLE

• Ultra photorealistic
• Luxury skincare editorial
• Bright spa aesthetic
• Cinematic but well-lit
• High resolution
• Natural warm color grading
• No CGI look
• No dark mood
This Hologram effect I made in 2 steps:

1- Dome hologram at the top of the product
2- Ingredients side panels


Step 1 Top Dome using this prompt :

Create an ultra-realistic transparent holographic dome with a neural network structure around the upper portion of the product. The dome should extend from the top of the tube down almost to the fingers, stopping slightly above them. The front center of the dome must remain optically clear so the “JUICE BEAUTY” logo and all text are fully visible and sharp. This is a luxury skincare biotech visualization — subtle, premium, and elegant. Not sci-fi. Semi-spherical transparent dome. Soft mint-white glow. Very low opacity. No neon. No blue tones. Inside the dome: thin elegant connecting lines and small glowing circular nodes. Network denser at the sides and top, lighter in the center front. Clear vertical channel in front of the logo. Lighting must integrate naturally with the warm bathroom environment. Soft reflections, natural glass refraction. No heavy glow. No dramatic contrast. Maintain photorealism. No CGI plastic look. No overexposed glow. No heavy opacity.


Correct previous image using this prompt :

Add two subtle floating holographic panels in the bottom left and bottom right corner of the image

Left hologram: floating text showing “Anti-Aging + Cell Repair” and “2.5% Bio-Retinol + Retinol Complex™ encapsulated in Evening Primrose (targets signs of aging)” — elegant minimal font, soft mint line accents.

Right hologram: floating ingredients list including key components: “Bio-Retinol (Vitamin A), Plant Stem Cells, Ubiquinone (CoQ10), Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Green Tea Extract” — list should appear clean, balanced, and easy to read with soft white lines.

Both hologram panels should be thin, semi-transparent, softly glowing, integrated into the bathroom lighting, and not distract from the product.
Animation
Prompt I used for animation on Kling AI :
On image 1 The dome hologram appears at the top first then the holograms with text at the bottom appear, text typing quickly and turns into image 1
