The five decisions in this shot

Subject: one blank frosted-glass perfume bottle on a dark plinth. Movement: the bottle stays still while a thin wisp of mist moves behind it. Camera: a slow sideways move with a slight push-in. Light: warm edge light from the back right, with soft frontal fill. Constraints: stable bottle geometry, no extra objects and no brand text.

Each decision gives the reviewer something concrete to inspect. The prompt asks for roughly ten degrees of camera movement; we did not measure the actual angle. Treat that number as the requested direction, not a verified capability.

The exact Chinese prompt we submitted

The following Chinese text was the only prompt sent for this sample. No product photo or reference video was supplied. The request used Seedance 2.5, five seconds, 480p and 16:9, with audio and draft mode disabled.

五秒单镜头原创香水产品广告，真实摄影质感。无缝深炭灰背景，哑光深灰石台上摆放一只无品牌的简洁圆柱形磨砂玻璃香水瓶，瓶内是浅琥珀色液体，搭配纯哑黑圆柱形瓶盖。瓶身表面完全空白，没有标签、商标、刻字或图案。瓶子位于画面右侧三分之一处，完整入镜，左侧保留大面积干净的深灰留白。暖橙色柔光从右后方勾勒瓶身边缘，正面有克制的柔和补光，呈现细腻磨砂颗粒与真实玻璃折射。摄影机在五秒内缓慢向右侧移约十度，并轻微推近；瓶子固定在台面上，外形、瓶盖和液面始终稳定。背景中一缕极薄的雾缓缓掠过，始终不遮挡瓶身。连续平稳运镜，无切镜，无突然变焦，无闪烁。画面仅包含这个原创通用瓶型、台面、光影与淡雾；不出现人物、手、动物、额外物体、品牌文字或字幕。无配乐、无旁白、无音效。

English reading translation — not a second test

This translation explains the same creative brief for English readers. We have not submitted it to the model, and we have not compared Chinese and English prompt performance. Copying either version does not guarantee the same output.

A five-second, single-shot original perfume product ad with realistic photography. A simple, unbranded cylindrical frosted-glass perfume bottle containing pale amber liquid sits on a matte dark-gray stone plinth against a seamless charcoal background. A plain matte-black cylindrical cap. The bottle is blank: no labels, logos, lettering or patterns. Place the complete bottle in the right third of the frame, leaving clean dark-gray negative space on the left. Soft warm-orange light from the back right outlines the bottle; restrained soft frontal fill reveals fine frosted texture and realistic glass refraction. Over five seconds, move the camera slowly about ten degrees to the right with a slight push-in. Keep the bottle, cap and liquid level stable. A very thin wisp of mist drifts through the background without obscuring the bottle. Smooth continuous camera movement; no cuts, sudden zooms or flickering. Only this generic original bottle, plinth, light and faint mist. No people, hands, animals, extra objects, brand text or subtitles. No music, narration or sound effects.

What we checked, and what remains uncertain

The saved file is H.264, 854 × 480 pixels, 24 fps and 5.041667 seconds long, with no audio stream. Those are measured file properties; the requested duration was five seconds. The provider’s visible AI mark remains in the lower-right corner.

Our review of representative frames at one-second intervals found a generic blank perfume bottle, warm-orange and dark-gray lighting, a stable-looking bottle shape and no people or brand text. This was not an exhaustive frame-by-frame defect audit or a numerical motion measurement.

We created one request and kept its successful output. There are no tested alternative prompts, rejected variants or cross-model results in this record. A single result does not establish that this is the best prompt or that every listed constraint will hold in another run.

How to adapt the structure

Replace the subject and material first, then decide what the shot needs to communicate. If the feature is the surface texture, use restrained lighting and movement that keeps that surface visible. If the feature is a printed label, add a separate label-legibility check; this blank-bottle sample provides no evidence for preserving lettering.

For a future experiment, change one instruction at a time and keep the model, duration, resolution and aspect ratio fixed. Save every attempt and record the reason for accepting or rejecting it. This is a proposed comparison method, not a comparison already performed here.

Common questions about this prompt

Was this image-to-video? No. The bottle was generated from text. A separate product-photo workflow explains what must be checked when a reference image is used.

Does “480p” mean draft mode? Not in this record: draft was explicitly false. The API has a separate draft setting; resolution alone does not identify the mode.

Can I generate or buy credits here now? As of 20 October 2026, public generation and checkout are not open. The workspace can be inspected for current availability; this published sample is not evidence of a completed customer purchase flow.
