A 10-second, vertical 9:16, photorealistic live-action Christmas commercial.
Camera style: high-end cinema camera, HDR, natural film grain, shallow depth of field, premium lighting.
Scene: A pine-cone LED candle placed under a decorated Christmas tree. Full practical lighting, no CGI look.”
Seconds 0–2:
Extreme close-up of the pine-cone candle surface.
Lens focuses not on the wax, but on a photorealistic, human-like miniature Santa Claus climbing on the pine cone. He looks like a real elderly man in a Santa outfit, just scaled down. Skin texture, beard detail, fabric fibers, all realistic. Warm inner glow from the candle lights his face.
Seconds 2–4:
The camera begins a slow pull-back.
Santa continues climbing upward with natural human movement, hand-over-hand, legs pushing realistically. His scale gradually becomes smaller as the shot reveals more of the candle.
Seconds 4–7:
The frame expands to show the entire pine-cone candle, warm and steady.
Christmas tree lights shimmer softly in the background. Ornaments reflect the candle’s glow.
The miniature Santa, still realistic and still climbing, is now small but clearly visible.
Seconds 7–10:
The pull-back completes, revealing a full product hero shot in a cozy Christmas setting.
The realistic tiny Santa reaches higher on the pine cone, still in believable motion.
Everything feels handcrafted, tactile, and captured in-camera with real-world lighting and materials.”**
