Prompt
12-second vertical video prompt:
Create a cinematic, photorealistic 12-second vertical video in a stylish, generic upscale coffee shop during the day. Warm wood tones, soft natural window light, espresso machines, modern counter, cozy background blur. No Starbucks logos or recognizable chain branding.
Use the same two characters consistently throughout.
The girl is the protagonist: glamorous, long dark hair, soft full makeup, confident expression, wearing a fitted black cropped Playa shirt with a gold rope-style Playa logo across the chest, matching the reference style.
The guy is a very handsome, fit, dark-haired barista with a trimmed beard, wearing a plain black apron over a black shirt. He has a calm, confident, slightly flirtatious energy.
Tone: cinematic rom-com with absurd fantasy cutaways. No captions or on-screen text.
⸻
0.0–1.5 seconds
Medium shot inside the coffee shop. The guy stands behind the counter, looking at her with quiet confidence. She stands across from him in her black Playa shirt, slightly leaning on the counter.
He asks, casually and charmingly:
Guy: “Hot or iced?”
She freezes. Her face stays calm, but her eyes show she has entered a life-altering decision.
⸻
1.5–2.5 seconds
Close-up on her face. Coffee shop sound fades slightly. She tilts her chin, thinking way too seriously. The background softens and blurs as she stares past him.
A subtle whoosh sound pulls us into her imagination.
⸻
2.5–5.5 seconds — Fantasy: Scorching Miami
Hard cut to a brutally hot Miami day. Bright white sun, palm trees, heat shimmer, waterfront skyline, golden glare bouncing off the pavement. The air looks heavy and suffocating.
The guy is now standing with her outside in the extreme heat. He is sweaty, attractive, romantic, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers.
He gently reaches out to hand her the flowers.
Before she can even grasp them, the flowers instantly wilt, droop, and shrivel from the heat. A few petals fall dramatically. The stems sag like noodles.
She recoils slightly, eyes wide, mouth parted like, “Absolutely not.” Sweat glows on her face. Her Playa shirt is still visible.
The guy looks down at the dead flowers, disappointed but still handsome.
⸻
5.5–6.8 seconds
Quick closer shot in Miami. The sun is unbearable. Both of them are overheating. She shields her face with one hand. He wipes sweat from his forehead, still holding the limp bouquet.
The moment feels romantic, but physically impossible to survive.
Fast heat-wave transition.
⸻
6.8–9.5 seconds — Fantasy: Snowy Mountain
Smash cut to a crisp snowy mountain. Bright alpine light, powdery snow, pine trees, chairlift behind them. They have just gotten off the lift and are standing with snowboards.
Both are in stylish snowboard gear. She is bundled but still fashionable, with her black Playa layer visible under her jacket. She wears large reflective ski goggles, so her eyes cannot be seen.
She turns toward him and smiles. Even with the goggles covering her eyes, her smile makes it clear she’s happy.
He looks at her with a soft, impressed smile. Their boards are angled in the snow. The moment feels cool, flirty, and cinematic.
⸻
9.5–10.3 seconds
Close-up on her smiling in the goggles. Snow sparkles around her. She gives a tiny confident nod, like she has made her decision.
Quick snap-back sound.
⸻
10.3–12.0 seconds — Back to Reality
Cut back to the coffee shop. Same exact counter position. The guy is still waiting patiently, slightly amused.
She looks up at him with total confidence, raises one finger slightly, and answers with calm precision:
Girl: “Hot.”
Beat.
The guy gives a small impressed nod, like that answer had weight.
She holds eye contact, completely serious, Playa logo visible, ending on her confident expression. No music, just audio.
