Gift inspiration (ideas 1–4)

1. Gold-light product orbit — hero gift feel.
   Prompt: Slow orbit, warm gold Christmas light, soft bokeh, keep logo sharp.
2. Ribbon & box macro — curiosity hook.
   Prompt: Macro packaging and ribbon glide, shallow DOF, warm holiday light.
3. “Under the tree” vignette — lifestyle still + push-in.
   Prompt: Product in a cozy Christmas vignette, soft practical lights, slow push-in.
4. Gift-set pan — bundles.
   Prompt: Lateral glide across gift set, even soft light, preserve each SKU color.

Promo & traffic (ideas 5–8)

5. Dark premium push-in — high-intent traffic.
6. Before/after style swap — same photo, “cool daylight” vs “warm Christmas” directions for creative testing.
7. Square feed cut — 1:1 from the same still.
8. Vertical Stories pair — 9:16 twin of idea 5 or 6.

Social / UGC-style (ideas 9–10)

9. Handheld cozy reveal on AI UGC — visual UGC energy, not lip-sync.
10. Tabletop “pass to camera” energy — slight sway, product centered.

Control & scale (ideas 11–12)

11. Reference refine on Reference to Video after a winner (120 / 240 credits).
12. One photo → many holidays — Christmas, then Black Friday directions on the same still (full tutorial).
