Make a Cinematic Brand Ad: Office-to-Rooftop in 30 Seconds
Learning Scenario
A SaaS marketing brand creating a 30-second aspirational ad showing a confident marketer who approves AI-drafted content on her laptop in a sleek glass office — then smash-cuts to her relaxed on a rooftop café by 11 AM, watching metrics climb. Voiceover: "The new marketers don't grind. They orchestrate."
What you'll learn in this tutorial
From brief to finished production
Define the Visual Concept & Character
Write a one-paragraph brief for the full 30-second arc: (1) glass office morning light, confident marketer enters with a latte; (2) she opens laptop, ZorgSocial dashboard glows, single swipe approves AI content; (3) content cascades across platforms; (4) rooftop café by 11 AM, metrics climbing. Create a character sheet (Nanobanana or Seedream) so the protagonist is consistent across all shots.
Generate a 12-Shot Storyboard
Use the dedicated Storyboard Generate tool (GPT Image backend, 16:9, 2K) with your character sheet and UI screenshot as references. Describe all 12 shots in the prompt — from the establishing exterior wide shot through each story beat to the brand end card. The tool outputs a single 3×4 grid sheet you can review before any video generation.

Open full sizeIterate the Storyboard
Use GPT Image Edit on the storyboard image to refine specific panels — for example, replacing abstract art shots with grounded scenes ("no touchscreen, no abstract art, mobile screen with metrics is fine"). Keep iterating until every panel matches your vision before moving to video generation.
Generate the First Video Segment
Use Seedance 2.0 Text-to-Video with the storyboard and character sheet as references. Cover the office-to-approval arc in 15 seconds (16:9, 1080p). Key prompt constraints: "laptop already open, no touchscreen, trackpad gestures only, ZorgSocial dashboard visible." If the first output has unwanted elements, re-run with stronger negative prompts.
