Prompt

ONE-LINE SUMMARY 15 seconds | 16:9 horizontal | 24fps. A 21-year-old Japanese actress sprints along a bright seaside breakwater, grabs a bottle of ice-cold water out of a cooler, drinks it down under an open blue sky, spins once as the sea wind hits her, and thrusts the bottle at the lens with a laughing smile. Photorealistic live-action Japanese television commercial, high-key blue and white, relentlessly energetic, cut to an upbeat summer-pop track with crisp physical sound effects. Every cut carries motion — she is never standing still. One single camera move per cut, nothing more. GLOBAL SETUP Environment and texture: 1pm in midsummer on a white concrete breakwater of a Japanese fishing harbour, deep blue sea on both sides, towering cumulus clouds, sunlight blazing off the water. Sea spray in the air, gulls far off, wind and waves under everything. Emphasize extremely realistic physical texture — flying water droplets, ice, wet concrete, sun-bleached cotton, damp skin. Visual style: photorealistic live-action, shot on a professional cinema camera, high-key exposure, clean whites and saturated blues throughout, shallow depth of field, natural hard sunlight with strong bounce off the concrete filling the shadows. Bright and crisp from the first frame to the last — no dark or heavy grading anywhere. Camera language: medium close-up to medium shot, eye level or slightly low, human-scale. Horizontal widescreen framing — keep her off-center with the sea and the sky filling the opposite side. Exactly ONE camera move per cut and no more. Motion is fast but stable and smooth, like a professional dolly and gimbal crew: no handheld jitter, no whip pans, no orbits, no shaky-cam. Direction of motion: every movement in the film runs left to right — her running, the wind, the flying spray, the camera moves. Keep that direction consistent so the whole 15 seconds reads as one continuous surge of energy. Character (repeat this description at every cut so the face never drifts): 21-year-old Japanese woman, fresh and open, a softly rounded film face. Warm-toned fair skin, lightly flushed and glossy from exertion, a very light scatter of freckles across the nose. Large double-lidded eyes with slightly rounded outer corners, a small straight nose bridge, a thin upper lip and fuller lower lip, a delicate jawline. Her gaze is direct and friendly; when she smiles her lower lids lift first and her whole face joins in. Black hair in a chin-to- shoulder bob that flies loose whenever she moves. A white short-sleeved linen shirt, one cuff folded, worn open over a plain navy tank top, with navy shorts. Slim shoulders, small build, light on her feet. Keep authentic fine pores and real skin texture. Product: a clear plastic bottle of ice-cold mineral water, roughly 500ml, sheeted in condensation with meltwater running off it, a pale blue label band carrying the brand name. From 3.0s onward the bottle stays continuously in frame or in her hand and never disappears, teleports between hands, or changes shape. ON-SCREEN TEXT (render exactly these two, nothing else): Text 1 — the bottle label, present whenever the bottle is visible. Render the exact Latin characters "AOI WATER", spelled letter by letter A-O-I space W-A-T-E-R. Clean geometric sans-serif capitals, white, evenly letter-spaced, printed flat on the pale blue label band and wrapping naturally with the curve of the bottle. Below it, a single thin white horizontal rule. Nothing else printed on the label — no slogans, no small print, no barcode, no volume marks. The spelling and the letterforms are identical in every frame; the label must never re-render itself into different letters. Text 2 — the end logotype, fading up at 13.4s and holding to 15.0s. Render the exact Latin characters "AOI WATER" as a logotype in the upper right of the frame, clean geometric sans-serif capitals, pure white, wide even letter-spacing, with a soft drop shadow so it stays readable against the bright sky. Directly beneath it, in a smaller weight, the exact Japanese characters 「夏に、負けない。」 — the glyphs 夏 に 、 負 け な い 。 in that order, standard Japanese gothic typeface, pure white, horizontal, correctly formed and fully legible. Both lines fade up together over 0.3s at 13.4s, sit perfectly still, and remain to the last frame. They are flat graphic overlays: they do not move, warp, animate, glow, or track the camera, and no other text appears anywhere in the film. SOUND DESIGN Music: one upbeat summer-pop instrumental, 128 BPM, running unbroken from 0.0s to 15.0s. Bright acoustic guitar upstrokes, hand claps on the offbeat, a warm rounded bass line, shaker and tambourine, one bright synth marimba hook. Major key, sunny and clean, the feel of a Japanese soft-drink commercial. Strictly instrumental — no singing, no vocals, no lyrics, no humming, no vocal chops. Music structure: guitar and shaker alone from 0.0s; drums and claps drop in on the cut at 3.0s; full band from 6.0s; a short one-beat break just before 12.0s; one bright accent hit exactly at 13.4s with the logotype, then the track rings out and settles into the wind and waves for the last half second. Duck the music down under her spoken line from 13.0s to 14.2s so the line is always the loudest thing in the mix. Sound effects (diegetic, mixed clearly above the music): 0.0s onward — fast footsteps striking wet concrete, in step with her stride, and wind past the microphone. 1.4s — a wave slams the breakwater and bursts; heavy spray patters back down onto concrete. 3.0s — her shoes skid and scuff hard as she stops. 3.3s — a hand plunging into crushed ice, ice cubes rattling and tumbling, meltwater sloshing. 3.9s — cold water flicking off her wrist onto hot concrete. 6.3s — the plastic cap cracks off with a sharp snap and clicks away. 6.6s to 7.5s — three deep audible gulps, throat swallows, water moving in the bottle. 7.6s — a sharp gasp and a short bright laugh, no words. 9.7s — her shirt snaps in the wind as she spins; droplets scatter and tick against the concrete. 12.2s — steady sea wind and waves, her breathing still fast. 13.4s — one clean shimmering chime accent with the logotype. Audio prohibitions: no narration, no voice-over, no whispering, no singing or lyrics, no crowd or bystander sounds, no cheering, no camera shutter sounds, no cartoon or comedic sound effects, no music sting anywhere except the single accent at 13.4s. Performance core: she is energetic from the very first frame — this is not a story about recovering from the heat, it is about a person who already has the energy and enjoys spending it. Bright, athletic, laughing, a little out of breath. Every cut must contain real physical movement of her body, not just a camera move over a static pose. Total dialogue budget: ONE spoken line only, at 13.0s-14.2s. One short laugh at 7.6s is allowed but must not form words. She is silent at every other moment. Prohibitions: no dialogue subtitles or captions of any kind, no text other than the two specified above, no signage or shop lettering in the background, no narration, no extra invented dialogue, no bystanders, no slow motion, no frozen or posed moments, no distorted hands or fingers, no face or wardrobe change between cuts, no garbled, mirrored, doubled or misspelled characters in either text. TIMESTAMPED STORYBOARD 0.0-3.0s — BREAK AWAY Action: The 21-year-old Japanese actress in the white linen shirt over a navy tank top sprints flat out along the white concrete breakwater, left to right. Her black bob streams back, the open shirt fills and snaps in the wind, her arms drive hard. Sea spray bursts up over the wall behind her and catches the sun. At 2.2s she turns her head toward the lens still running and breaks into a laugh. Intent: open on full speed. The audience should feel the energy before they know what the product is — the laugh mid-stride is what makes her likeable rather than athletic. Camera: medium shot, one lateral tracking move running alongside her at her pace. Sound: guitar upstrokes and shaker only, no drums yet; her footsteps on wet concrete lock to her stride; wind across the mic; the wave bursting at 1.4s. Negative: no subtitles, no on-screen text in this cut — the bottle is not in frame yet, so no lettering appears anywhere. No dialogue. No slow motion. 3.0-6.0s — GRAB Action: The same actress — same face, same black bob, same white linen shirt — skids to a stop at a steel cooler packed with ice and plunges her hand in, pulling out a bottle of ice-cold water, the pale blue label reading "AOI WATER" in white capitals swinging square to the lens as she lifts it. Ice cubes and meltwater fly off the bottle and scatter across the sunlit concrete. She shakes the cold water off her wrist. Intent: the product enters at speed, not on a pedestal. The flying ice sells the temperature in half a second, and her hand keeps the label clear so the brand name reads cleanly. Camera: medium close-up on hand and bottle, one fast push-in. Sound: drums and hand claps drop in exactly on the cut at 3.0s; her shoes skid; ice rattles and tumbles; water flicks onto hot concrete. Negative: no dialogue, no subtitles, no text anywhere except the "AOI WATER" label, no misspelled or garbled letters on it, no slow motion. 6.0-9.5s — DRINK Action: The same actress flicks the cap off with her thumb, tips her head back and drinks hard, three big visible swallows, her throat moving with each one. Water escapes the corner of her mouth and runs down her neck. At 7.6s she pulls the bottle away, gasps and laughs once — breath only, no words — and wipes her mouth with the back of her wrist. Behind her, nothing but blue sky and cumulus. Intent: the physical peak of the film. Let it be slightly messy — the spilled water and the gasp are what make it look like it actually tastes good. Camera: low angle looking up at her against the sky, one tilt-up following her head as she drinks. Sound: full band from 6.0s; the cap snapping at 6.3s; three deep gulps at 6.6s-7.5s mixed loud and close; her gasp and short laugh at 7.6s. The gulps must be clearly audible over the music. Negative: no dialogue in this cut except the wordless laugh, no subtitles, no text anywhere except the "AOI WATER" label on the bottle, no slow motion. 9.5-12.0s — BURST Action: The same actress — same face, same black bob, same white linen shirt — drops her chin level, grins, and spins a full turn on the spot, left to right, the open shirt flaring out and her bob whipping around. Droplets fly off her hair and off the bottle and hang glittering in the sunlight. She comes out of the spin still moving, bouncing on the balls of her feet, the sea blazing blue behind her. Intent: pure release of energy with no purpose behind it. This is the beat that makes the film feel summery rather than merely fast. Camera: medium shot, one smooth pull-back opening out to reveal the breakwater and the sea. Sound: music at its fullest, claps driving; her shirt snapping in the wind at 9.7s; droplets ticking onto concrete; one single beat of silence in the music just before 12.0s. Negative: no dialogue, no subtitles, no text except the bottle label, no slow motion, no frozen pose at the end of the spin. 12.0-15.0s — THE CALL Action: The same actress, still catching her breath and standing slightly left of center, thrusts the bottle out toward the lens at arm's length with the pale blue "AOI WATER" label square to camera and fully readable, and beams straight down the lens, lower lids lifting first. At 13.0s she says in Japanese, bright and slightly breathless: 「夏に、負けない。」 Her mouth movement matches the Japanese line. Her hair and shirt keep moving in the sea wind. At 13.4s the end logotype "AOI WATER" with 「夏に、負けない。」 beneath it fades up in white in the upper right of the frame over 0.3s and holds perfectly still to the final frame. Intent: the payoff. Everything before it was motion; here the energy points straight at the viewer. The type arrives after the smile lands, never on top of it, and the wind keeps the frame alive even while the camera settles. Camera: medium shot, one gentle push-in, locked off for the final 1.5 seconds. Sound: music ducks under her line from 13.0s to 14.2s so the line reads clearly; one clean shimmering chime accent lands with the logotype at 13.4s; the track rings out and the last half second is wind and waves with her breathing. Negative: no dialogue subtitles, no text other than the bottle label and the end logotype, no additional lines after the single Japanese line, no moving or animated type, no garbled or misspelled characters, no sung vocals in the music. CLOSING CONSTRAINTS (apply to the whole 15 seconds) Throughout: keep the camera at eye level or slightly low and human-scale, one move per cut and no more, fast but smooth and stable — never shaky. Throughout: keep every movement running left to right, and keep real physical movement of her body in every single cut. No slow motion anywhere. No posed, frozen or static moments. Throughout: keep the same bright midsummer harbour breakwater, the blue sea, the cumulus clouds and the high-key blue-and-white grade from the first frame to the last. Throughout: keep the same actress — the same face, the same black chin-length bob, the same white linen shirt over a navy tank top — and keep authentic fine pores and real skin texture on her. Throughout: keep the bottle a single continuous object whose pale blue label always reads the same exact Latin characters "AOI WATER" in white capitals — same spelling, same typeface, same spacing in every frame. Throughout: exactly two pieces of text exist in this film — the "AOI WATER" bottle label, and the end logotype "AOI WATER" with 「夏に、負けない。」 beneath it from 13.4s to 15.0s. Both are locked, static and correctly spelled. No dialogue subtitles, no captions, no background signage, no other lettering of any kind. Throughout: keep one continuous instrumental summer-pop track at 128 BPM under the whole film, with no singing and no lyrics, and keep wind and waves audible beneath it. Physical sound effects — footsteps, ice, the cap, the gulps, her breath — always sit above the music. Throughout: no narration and no voice-over. Exactly one spoken line in the entire film, 「夏に、負けない。」 at 13.0s-14.2s, plus one wordless laugh at 7.6s, and silence from her otherwise.
