Example result for the prompt: Product hero, vertical

The prompt

Image (Flow, Image, Nano Banana 2.1 or Pro, 9:16):
Vertical product photograph, 85mm lens. [Your product, its material and colour] stands on [a surface: a slab of dark slate, a sun-bleached wooden crate] in the lower half of the frame, one soft key light from the upper left, a warm rim light from behind, [one prop that hints at use: a sprig of mint, a folded map]. Empty calm space above for text added later. No text, no letters, no captions, no watermark.

Video (Flow, Video, Frames, Veo 3.1 Lite for drafts or Veo 3.1 Fast for the final, 9:16, 6 s, start frame = the still above):
Single continuous shot, slow push-in of about 8%. [One small product moment: a drop of water slides down, steam curls up, light slides across the label]. Still for the last second. Ambient noise: a quiet room. No music. Single continuous shot, no cuts. (no subtitles) Clean frame with no on-screen text.

What to swap for your story

  • your product -> describe it exactly; attach a real photo of it and start the prompt with 'Image 1 shows the exact product: copy its shape, colour and label.'
  • space above -> keep it for your headline in the edit
