One big idea
A single surprising mechanic that still works with the logo removed.
Rendered by ads.fan from one product photo — no filming, no studio. Your ad is built inside the same world; your product keeps its real shape and size.

What the director is told
Build the whole frame on one surprising visual mechanic taken from what the product actually does — absence, a completed shape, a cause and its effect, the way its material behaves, a shift of scale or perspective — and nothing else. It has to read in a second and still hold up with the logo and the headline removed. One hero product at true scale, physically believable contact, shadows, reflections and perspective, generous negative space, no props that are only decoration, no particle effects, no pedestal, no second copy of the product, no text in the image. Premium editorial advertising with cinematic commercial lighting and tactile micro-detail.
This is the brief every shot is written to. Your product replaces the example's; the world stays.

Questions
FAQ
Good questions
Can I use a creator with a viral format?
Five formats put a creator on camera — editorial cover, selfie vlog, unfiltered selfie, beauty demo and fashion editorial. The rest are product-led, so the creator step disappears.
Do the formats work for ad images too?
Most do. In the wizard the image looks show the formats that make sense as a still, including three that only exist as images: the flagship poster, the step-by-step grid and the 3-view product sheet.
Will my product look like the example?
The world will; the product will be yours. Every recipe keeps the product exactly as photographed, and the first frame is checked for it before filming.
