50-second breakfast-cafe ad — grey-clay previz for approval
Built from your five references. Zero credits spent.
NOTHING GENERATED YET — this is the camera, timing and blocking onlyOmni Flash caps at 10 seconds, so the spot is five generations. A hard cut transfers through the reference, so each block carries its own cuts — that is how 13 real ad-paced shots come out of 5 jobs instead of 5 slow ones. All five PASS the cut gate.
| t | Shot | What is on screen |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0–3.6 | Sunbeam bar | Glide west along the empty window bar, hazy morning shafts raking the stools |
| 3.6–6.8 | Through the door | Push in from the entrance; the room opens — columns, pendants, counter beyond |
| 6.8–10.0 | Hall wide | Slow dolly, the full loft: joists, timber columns, guests, the counter run |
| 10.0–13.4 | Counter dolly | Alongside the bake-shop case, cake stands and pastry trays raking past |
| 13.4–16.8 | Pastry | Closer on croissants and a bundt under the case glass |
| 16.8–20.0 | Barista | Rise to the barista working the espresso machine |
| 20.0–23.4 | Espresso | In on the group head — the shot pulling, crema building |
| 23.4–26.6 | The pour | Hovering over the cup as the latte art goes in |
| 26.6–30.0 | Plate lands | Low across the window table as the plate settles into the light |
| 30.0–33.2 | Stack macro | Butter slumping, syrup clinging, blackberries, the jug |
| 33.2–36.4 | Two-shot | Over her shoulder onto him — both laughing, food between them |
| 36.4–40.0 | First sip | She raises the cup; steam; warm window light |
| 40.0–50.0 | THE CRANE | Through the arch, up into the atrium — the hero wide |
| 50.0–53.5 | End card | MARIGOLD & RYE · Breakfast daily from 7 · built in-house, 0 credits |
5 generations × 15 credits = 75 credits if every take lands first time. You approved up to 200, which leaves room for about 8 retakes. Hard cap 350. Everything to this point — research, 3D build, previz, end card — cost nothing.
Previz: 1,932 objects, one Blender scene, 1,200 frames. Verification so far — cut_report PASS on all 5 blocks, prompt_lint PASS on all 5 prompts (it rejected two earlier drafts for hands-in-frame and an over-long prompt; both fixed). Still to run at generation time: ad_gate, the 42-question food-realism checklist, cut_check across every cut, verify_playback, and the stranger test.
