# Product and process: make the important information visible These cards describe intended images, not product tests, measured performance or generated successes. Proposed durations and framing require active-surface checks. Exact products need actual authorized references; neither a prompt nor a generated clip certifies a functional or advertising claim. For exact type or logos, consider approved artwork in post and review the result rather than promising preservation. Reference tokens shown here are teaching placeholders. Before using a conditional prompt, replace them in both its binding record and prose with the active surface's exact bound tokens, preserving the user's supplied spelling. Do not submit a literal placeholder or invent a binding; leave the prompt conditional if the actual asset or token is unavailable. ## Card: Keep the tin label facing us **Evidence:** Concept; not generated or inspected. **Brief:** Show the lid opening on a supplied tea tin while its front label stays readable. No product asset is supplied with this teaching card. **Choice:** Keep the tin still in a front three-quarter view and move only the lid. A turntable would reveal more sides but rotate the label away; choose the readable front. **Bindings:** Required; not attached. @Image1 must be an authorized clear still of the actual closed tin, showing its front label, lid construction and desired composition. It controls product identity and opening composition; it is not evidence that the lid can open as described. Inspect the real mechanism first. **Settings:** I2V if the active surface supports the intended input; plan six seconds. Model, tier and resolution are unselected. If the tin uses a different mechanism, revise the action before using the conditional prompt. **Why this direction:** Holding the body is intended to protect label viewing angle while making the lid action legible. It does not guarantee exact typography or geometry. **Conditional prompt:** ```text Use @Image1 as the product and opening-frame reference. Preserve the tin body, front label, colors and composition. Keep the body fixed while one hand lifts the removable lid straight upward and holds it just above the rim, leaving the front label unobscured. Camera stays still in the reference's front three-quarter view. Preserve the reference lighting. Sound: a quiet lid release and room tone. End with the lid held above the open tin and the label facing the viewer. ``` **Check:** Compare label letters, outline, color and lid geometry with the real asset before accepting the shot. Check hand contact, body stability and the final open state. Inspect at delivery size; a readable-looking fake label is a failure. **Fallback:** Use approved label artwork in a feasible tracked post repair, or film the actual product. If neither is available, offer an unbranded concept instead of claiming an exact product match. Each alternative needs its own authorization and review. ## Card: A drop changes the paper **Evidence:** Concept; not generated or inspected. **Brief:** An illustrative material study of one water drop spreading into plain absorbent paper. The paper and behavior are invented; this is not a test of a named product's absorbency. **Choice:** Use a locked close view with dry paper still visible around the wet patch. A backlit silhouette would be more graphic but lose the before/after surface comparison; choose the texture comparison. **Bindings:** None. T2V with an invented unbranded material; no physical test footage or measurement. **Settings:** T2V; plan six seconds, close horizontal frame. Model, tier and resolution are unselected. **Why this direction:** The dry border is intended to make the expanding dark patch visible without arrows, charts or fabricated numbers. **Prompt:** ```text Hold a close overhead view of a plain cream paper sheet on a gray surface. One clear water drop falls into the center and forms a small dark patch that spreads unevenly through the visible paper fibers. Keep a broad dry border in frame, with the sheet and camera still. Soft side light shows the texture without glare. Sound: one small drop impact and quiet room tone. End on the wet patch as its edge slows; no labels, graphs or additional droplets. ``` **Check:** One drop creates one connected patch; the dry border remains; texture and color stay coherent. Do not infer real absorption speed, volume or comparative product performance from the generated result. **Fallback:** If a physical property must be demonstrated truthfully, record a real controlled demonstration. If only the illustrative look matters, simplify the spreading edge within the user's existing retry allowance. ## Card: Follow the ribbon of clay **Evidence:** Concept; not generated or inspected. **Brief:** Show a potter trimming a bowl foot, with the tool contact and resulting clay ribbon visible. No competition, frustration or mastery reveal is requested. The bowl and studio are authored details. **Choice:** Hold a low three-quarter close view of the contact point. An overhead view would explain circular alignment but hide the ribbon lifting from the tool; choose the cause-and-result view. **Bindings:** None. T2V with fictional hands and an unbranded bowl; this is an illustration, not an instructional certification. **Settings:** T2V; plan eight seconds at normal speed. Model, tier and resolution are unselected. **Why this direction:** Keeping the tool, bowl and clay shaving together is intended to show where the removed material comes from. **Prompt:** ```text Hold a low three-quarter close view of an upside-down damp clay bowl rotating on a potter's wheel. One hand steadies the bowl near its center; the other holds a trimming tool against the outer edge of the raised foot. A thin continuous ribbon of clay curls away from the contact point and falls beside the bowl. Keep the bowl shape stable and the tool visible. Side window light, normal speed. Sound: wheel hum and soft scraping. End as the tool lifts clear and the loose ribbon settles. ``` **Check:** The shaving originates at tool contact, the hand roles stay distinct, and the bowl does not grow or change silhouette. The lift ends the cut; scraping should not continue after the tool leaves. **Fallback:** Shorten the visible trim or use a real craft reference with permission. For an actual how-to lesson, have the process checked by a practitioner; a plausible generated image is insufficient evidence of correct technique.
