In the kitchen lesson of The 3-Step Realistic AI Ad Workflow, Adil generates the kitchen in Cinematic Locations at a three-quarter angle, tests two heroes against two kitchens with one fixed prompt, picks character A and kitchen B, and edits the kitchen in GPT Image 2.0 for the coffee scene.

What is said

• 00:00:00 — Why the location makes or breaks the ad; the kitchen prompt in Cinematic Locations
• 00:00:29 — The three-quarter angle, and the first test: two heroes, two kitchens, one prompt
• 00:01:05 — Changing one thing at a time; choosing character A and kitchen B
• 00:01:50 — Editing the kitchen in GPT Image 2.0 so the hero can make coffee and leave

Threads in this video

• restate · How do you avoid the AI (plastic) look? — Adil says the location makes or breaks the whole headphones ad: if it looks fake or plasticky, no prompting will ever save it. (00:00:00)
• refine · Which image model should be used for keyframes, edits, text and outfits? — For every location of the headphones ad Adil wants one bright, clean, high-budget commercial look and uses the same approach as for the hero: Cinematic Locations, a simple prompt and lots of batches. (00:00:00)
• restate · How do you keep a location, product or prop the same across shots? — Adil generates the kitchen at a three-quarter angle: it gives the room more depth for Seedance 2.0 to hold on to when the camera moves, and a much better win rate than a flat head-on shot. (00:00:29)
• restate · Which image model should be used for keyframes, edits, text and outfits? — Because the hero must make coffee and then leave, Adil edits the chosen kitchen in GPT Image 2.0: clear the kitchen island, add a gas stove on the left counter, replace the TV on the right wall with a door, and keep everything else the same.
