## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Prompts

### 1. Original prompt, part 1

```text
Create a premium 15-second vertical 9:16 coffee latte commercial, ultra-realistic 8K, cinematic blockbuster action-film aesthetic combined with extreme macro food cinematography.

CORE STYLE:
Photorealistic commercial filmmaking, high-end luxury coffee advertising, blockbuster action movie intensity, extreme macro detail, physically accurate liquid and particle simulation, realistic coffee crema, natural steam, dramatic volumetric lighting, deep blacks, rich espresso browns, warm caramel-gold highlights, subtle film grain, anamorphic-style highlights, razor-sharp focus transitions, sophisticated color grading, premium 8K texture.

THE LATTE IS ALWAYS THE HERO.
No lifestyle scenes. No faces. No dialogue. No unnecessary hands. Minimal human interaction only when absolutely required. Every shot should feel purposeful, tactile, intense, and premium.

EDITING LANGUAGE:
Aggressive cinematic pacing, speed ramps, whip-pans, crash zooms, match cuts, impact transitions, extreme close-ups, controlled slow motion, rapid acceleration, freeze-frame moments, reverse-motion transitions, seamless visual continuity.

CAMERA:
Use a combination of 35mm cinematic lens and 100mm extreme macro lens, with occasional ultra-close macro photography. Physically realistic camera motion, shallow depth of field, precise focus pulling, realistic motion blur, high-speed photography for liquid and particles.

---

SCENE 01 — 0.0–1.5s — THE COLLISION

EXTREME MACRO.

A dark, freshly pulled espresso shot fills the frame. Thick golden crema undulates in microscopic detail.

Above it, a stream of silky steamed milk hovers only centimeters above the espresso, suspended in midair.

The milk descends toward the crema.

Almost touching.

Tiny ripples begin forming across the crema. Micro-droplets vibrate. Steam curls through dramatic backlight.

Suddenly—

FREEZE.

Everything stops at the exact moment before impact.

Hard cut to black.

CAMERA: 100mm macro, aggressive cinematic crash-in, extremely shallow depth of field, focus locked on the boundary between milk and crema.

TEXT ON BLACK:
“IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS.”

Typography: minimal, premium, bold cinematic sans-serif, centered, white, subtle fade.

SOUND DESIGN: deep cinematic impact build → microscopic liquid tension → complete silence at freeze.

---

SCENE 02 — 1.5–3.0s — THE BEAN

MATCH CUT FROM BLACK.

Roasted coffee beans fall through a dark cinematic environment like tactical ammunition.

Beans tumble, rotate and collide in the air, revealing oily roasted surfaces, microscopic cracks and rich brown textures.

One hero coffee bean separates from the group.

It spins slowly.

Then—

ACCELERATES VIOLENTLY.

The camera tracks alongside it as the bean rockets toward a premium coffee grinder.

35mm → 100mm transition.

Whip-pan following the bean.

Crash zoom.

Aggressive speed ramp from slow motion into extreme acceleration.

The hero bean drops directly into the grinder.

CAMERA: dynamic tracking shot, macro inserts, high-speed photography, controlled motion blur.

LIGHTING: dark studio environment, hard rim light, warm amber highlights, deep cinematic shadows.

---

SCENE 03 — 3.0–4.5s — THE GRIND

INSIDE THE GRINDER — EXTREME MACRO.

The hero bean enters the grinding mechanism.

The grinder activates.

The bean fractures under immense mechanical pressure.

Coffee fragments explode outward in ultra-detailed slow motion.

The particles break down progressively:

whole bean → fragments → coarse grounds → fine espresso powder.

Thousands of tiny coffee particles fill the frame.

Individual particles catch warm highlights as they spin through the air.

Cut between extreme macro details of grinding burrs, crushed coffee texture and cascading grounds.

CAMERA: 100mm macro, high-speed camera, rapid micro push-ins, rotating perspective.
```

### 2. Original prompt, part 2 (continuation)

```text
TRANSITION: a cloud of fine coffee particles fills the frame and becomes a dark visual wipe.

---

SCENE 04 — 4.5–6.0s — THE ESPRESSO

The coffee grounds slam into a precision espresso portafilter.

TAMP.

A dramatic pressure-driven transition.

Hot water forces through the compact coffee puck.

Extreme macro of espresso extraction.

The first dark droplets emerge.

Then a rich, continuous stream of espresso pours downward.

The liquid transitions from deep brown to glowing caramel.

GOLDEN CREMA FORMS IN REAL TIME.

Micro-bubbles expand and merge across the surface.

The espresso swirls into a perfectly textured pool.

CAMERA: 100mm macro, ultra-slow motion, focus pull from coffee particles to crema.

LIGHTING: warm backlight through the espresso, glowing translucent crema, dark luxury background.

---

SCENE 05 — 6.0–7.5s — THE MILK

Cut to a stainless-steel milk pitcher.

Silky steamed milk rotates inside the pitcher.

Extreme macro reveals the microscopic texture of the milk foam—smooth, glossy, dense and perfectly integrated.

Steam rises dramatically.

The milk begins pouring.

A flawless white stream arcs through the air toward the espresso.

CAMERA: 100mm macro, tracking the milk stream, shallow depth of field.

The stream appears almost impossibly smooth and viscous.

Speed ramp: slow motion → rapid acceleration.

---

SCENE 06 — 7.5–9.5s — THE COLLISION

RETURN TO SCENE 01.

The frozen milk and espresso suddenly come back to life.

TIME REWINDS FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND.

The milk reverses upward.

Espresso crema pulls itself backward.

Then time snaps forward.

The milk descends again.

COLLISION.

Milk penetrates the crema.

The two liquids collide with controlled cinematic force.

A wave of crema spreads outward.

Micro-bubbles burst.

Silky milk folds through dark espresso.

Capture the collision in extreme slow motion with physically accurate fluid dynamics.

CAMERA: 100mm macro, violent crash-in, subtle camera shake at impact, ultra-high-speed photography.

The brown and white liquids begin forming elegant patterns.

---

SCENE 07 — 9.5–12.5s — THE LATTE ART

The chaos transforms into precision.

The milk stream moves with controlled elegance across the espresso surface.

White microfoam folds into the crema.

A beautiful rosetta/heart-inspired latte-art pattern emerges naturally.

Extreme macro overhead angle.

The pattern becomes sharper and more symmetrical with every movement.

The final pour creates a clean central heart.

The crema settles around the white design.

Steam gently rises.

CAMERA: slow, precise macro orbit transitioning into a perfectly centered overhead composition.

LIGHTING: warm golden key light, subtle rim light, rich espresso shadows.

The visual energy shifts from blockbuster chaos → luxurious calm.

---

SCENE 08 — 12.5–15.0s — THE HERO

FINAL HERO SHOT.

A flawless finished latte sits alone against a dark premium studio background.

The cup is perfectly centered.

The latte-art heart is pristine.

Thin steam rises elegantly.

The crema glows under warm cinematic light.

Tiny surface bubbles and foam texture remain visible in extreme macro detail.

Camera slowly pushes toward the latte.

The background falls into deep black.

A subtle golden rim light outlines the cup.

FINAL 0.5 SECONDS:

The latte fills the vertical frame.

Hold.

Minimal premium typography appears:

“IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE LATTE.”

Then fade to black.
