Open Nano Banana Pro (gemini-3-pro-image) and make two stills. One: the product on seamless white in a three-quarter view so every surface and the brand mark are visible (for a client, use their real packshot).
Two: a phone selfie of the creator in the room where the review happens, written like a casting note: hair, beard, earring, sweatshirt, the desk behind him.
Add the realism layer every time:
Fictional brands only when you are practising.
Make one more image with both references attached and say what each is for: reference 1 is the product, reproduce it exactly; reference 2 is the person and the room, identity only. Describe the opening frame: him at the desk, the headphones in front of him, one hand already on them.
This is the start frame of the video. Because the product is already in the frame, the model never has to invent it.
Fix the product here, not in the video.
Keep the shape and change only the product, the person and the four lines.
Keep the shape:
The honest-take opener ("I've had these for a week") is the review format that gets watched. Stay under 300 words.
In Claude Code, the ElevenLabs connector gives you the image model and the video model behind one login (add it with claude mcp add --transport http elevenlabs https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/mcp). Wire the hero frame into Kling 3 Pro as the start frame, 15 seconds, 16:9, native audio on, and ask for the estimate first.
The 15-second clip is about $3 in credits; every still is about a quarter. Expect the render to take longer than the estimate says.
Watch the clip three times: once for the face across the cuts, once for the product (same cups, same leather, same mark), once for the hands. If one shot drifts, regenerate the still for that shot and re-run.
Then post the breakdown, not just the ad: the clip on top, the two references under it, the prompt scrolling while it plays. Same prompt shape made a serum ad, a sneaker unboxing and this review in one day: change the two references and the four lines.
This guide is the full process. The ready-made version lives inside AI Creative OS on Skool, next to every other prompt pack I post.
