Morning Breakfast Routine in a Home Kitchen
A 15-second photorealistic lifestyle video built from a single reference image, following a man through a five-shot morning routine: entering the kitchen, cooking eggs, turning on the TV, plating breakfast, and eating. The prompt locks character identity and uses a subtle handheld smartphone look with natural morning light.
Prompt (original, unmodified)
Create a 15-second ultra-realistic 16:9 landscape lifestyle video using the provided reference image as the exact character reference. Preserve his face, identity, hairstyle, body proportions, skin tone, and overall appearance consistently throughout. Do not change his identity. 0–3 sec — Kitchen: Medium-wide shot. He happily enters his kitchen, cracks eggs into a bowl, and starts preparing breakfast with energetic but natural movements. 3–6 sec — Cooking: Side three-quarter shot. He pours the eggs into a pan and cooks them, smiling casually. Realistic steam, utensils, hand movements, and cooking physics. 6–9 sec — TV: He briefly walks into the adjacent living room, picks up the remote, turns on the TV, glances at the screen with a small smile, then heads back toward the kitchen. 9–12 sec — Finishing breakfast: Back in the kitchen. He checks and stirs/flips the food, looking pleased, then plates the finished breakfast. 12–15 sec — Eating: Front three-quarter shot at the dining table. He sits down, looks happily at his breakfast, smiles, and takes his first bite. Style: Photorealistic casual daily-life vlog, authentic home environment, happy energetic mood, natural acting, realistic human movement, subtle handheld smartphone camera, natural autofocus, believable depth of field, 24fps. Lighting: Soft natural morning daylight mixed with realistic indoor lighting. Maintain: Consistent face and clothing, realistic hands/fingers, accurate object interaction, consistent kitchen/living-room layout

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in vlog prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In vlog | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| handheld | 55% | 24% | 2.29x |
| natural light | 56% | 28% | 1.97x |
| soft light | 30% | 18% | 1.68x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: natural light 29%, wide shot 26%, handheld 24%, soft light 18%.
The 15s duration is not arbitrary: 71% of the prompts in this library that state a duration ask for exactly 15 seconds — Seedance 2.0 accepts clips up to 15 seconds, so 15s is the model's ceiling and the most common choice.
