Seven lines, seven camera positions around one table, the camera at prop height, something near the lens in every shot, movement spent on the hook, calm by the end.

UGC at one table, seven setups

A 15 to 25 second talking video that feels operated and alive, shot around one table.

Use when: Creator-style product ads with one person and one product.

Prompt instructions

ProductAudience

Give me a production plan: the shots or scenes in order, what each one needs, and the edit settings, for a short video about [your product], for [your audience]. The technique is uGC at one table, seven setups: a 15 to 25 second talking video that feels operated and alive, shot around one table. How it works: seven lines, seven camera positions around one table, the camera at prop height, something near the lens in every shot, movement spent on the hook, calm by the end. It is right for: creator-style product ads with one person and one product. For a restyle, shoot an empty room on purpose: plain walls, one table, one prop of the right shape; every object the model can map becomes part of the new world. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.

The same prompt works in Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini.

Notes

The seven setups

#	Camera	The person	Line
1	on the table at the near end, low and wide, pushing forward	stands at the far end with the product	the hook
2	at the table end beside a board, at tabletop height, sliding out from behind it	leans in on the elbows, product near the lens	the problem
3	across the table, starting tilted and ending level	leans on the forearms, product in both hands	the promise
4	high, looking down from the table end	stands beside the table, looks up	step one
5	flat on the tabletop	leans in and counts on the fingers	step two
6	in the hand at arm's length, slightly below the face	talks and reaches toward the lens	the social proof
7	on a tripod at chest height, three-quarter	ignores the camera and uses the product	the ask
