Product Hero → UGC Unboxing Video

Product image → handheld, authentic-feeling 9:16 UGC unboxing clip.

Category: social · Difficulty: Intermediate · ~Time: 12 min

What you'll make

A short, casual "creator holds and reveals the product" video in 9:16, styled to look like organic user-generated content rather than a polished studio ad. Use this for TikTok Shop, Reels, and Xiaohongshu seeding where a handheld, lived-in feel converts better than glossy commercials.

Models used

💬 LLM — Claude (expand a one-line brief into 3 unboxing hooks + voiceover lines)
🎨 Image — Nano Banana Pro (resolve live; e.g. google/nano-banana-pro/edit) to place the product in a realistic hand/desk scene
🎬 Video — Seedance 2.5 i2v (resolve live; e.g. bytedance/seedance-2.5/image-to-video) or Kling 3 i2v (kwaivgi/kling-v3.0-pro/image-to-video)

Steps

Upload the product hero — point the agent at your product photo. → atlas_upload_media.
Write UGC hooks — "Give me 3 first-person unboxing hooks + a 2-line voiceover for , casual creator tone." → atlas_chat with Claude.
Stage a realistic UGC frame — "Place this product in a hand against a cozy bedroom desk, phone-camera look, 9:16." → atlas_generate_image (edit) with Nano Banana Pro.

Tip: ask the agent to atlas_search_docs for the edit model first to confirm the live image-input field name and aspect-ratio options.
Animate the reveal — "Animate a handheld unboxing: hands turn the product toward camera, slight wobble, 5s." → atlas_generate_video with Seedance 2.5 i2v.
Caption + assemble — burn in the hook from step 2 and a CTA end card locally.

Prompt starters

Hooks (Claude): "Write 3 TikTok unboxing hooks (≤8 words) + a 2-line natural voiceover for [PRODUCT]. First person, hyped but believable."
Scene (Nano Banana Pro edit): "Put this product in a person's hand on a sunlit wooden desk, soft window light, slight phone-camera grain, vertical 9:16."
Reveal (Seedance 2.5 i2v): "Handheld unboxing motion: hands rotate the product toward the lens, natural micro-shake, shallow depth of field, 5 seconds."

Tips & variations

Use Kling 3 i2v when you need more lifelike hand articulation; use Seedance 2.5 i2v (seedance-2.0-fast) for cheap pacing drafts.
For a fuller branded spot from the same hero shot, follow the Product Render → 30-Second Ad (product-render-to-ad) motion recipe instead.
Keep lighting slightly imperfect and add light grain — too-clean renders read as ads and lose the UGC trust signal.
Generate 2–3 scene backgrounds (bedroom, café, car seat) and batch-animate to A/B which setting performs.
