Here’s the exact prompt we used to generate a florist campaign concept:

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.
