Case Study: A Florist’s Campaign in Minutes
Imagine you’re a florist planning your next product shoot. You’ve got four creative directions—but you’re not sure which will look best, and you don’t want to waste time, effort, and money on a shoot that might not deliver. With Luma AI via PiAPI, you can generate 4-frame advertising mock-ups in minutes.
As mentioned above, you're planning your next product shoot but you’ve got four creative directions:
1. Floating in a rectangular pool – soft reflections, dreamy summer vibes.
2. Resting in a sand garden – minimal, calming, zen-inspired.
3. On vintage newspapers – warm, nostalgic tones, cozy aesthetic.
4. On a dining table with a note reading “love you” – romantic and inviting.
You’re not sure which will look best, and you don’t want to waste time, effort, and money on a shoot that might not deliver.
Using Luma, you can create a 4-frame video showcasing your bouquet in all these settings. Focus on realistic textures, natural lighting, and compelling composition. Optional subtle animations, like rippling water or paper fluttering, add a touch of magic.
AI Video Generation Results
We used this prompt to generate the video:
Create a 4-frame video showing a bouquet in different advertising scenarios to test concepts quickly without extra production costs. Each frame should feature the same bouquet in a unique setting: Floating in a rectangular pool with soft ambient lighting and gentle reflections on water; resting in a sand garden under natural sunlight, serene and minimalistic aesthetic; laying on top of vintage newspapers with warm tones and nostalgic cozy mood; on a dining table with a note that says 'love you', romantic and inviting atmosphere. Focus on realistic textures, natural lighting, and appealing composition. Optional subtle animations: water ripples, shifting sand, paper fluttering, or soft light changes to make each frame dynamic.
What's Next?
Let’s say you fall in love with the dining table concept in the bottom-right frame. You can take a photo of your actual bouquet, feed it into Luma’s image-to-video generation with the same prompt, and get a campaign-ready visual—styled, lit, and animated—within minutes.
No reshoots. No trial-and-error. Just a clear, polished direction ready to present to your audience or production team. Simply repeat the above-mentioned steps but include a well-lit image of your bouquet within the JSON before writing your prompt. Follow our guide for full instructions.
