Product-led video ads

Some products sell best with nobody in the frame: a can sweating on ice, a pack bursting open, an outfit walking down a corridor. We make those too. Product heroes, motion pieces and lookbooks, built from photos of your real packaging.

One of the ads, frame by frame

A product hero for a drink brand: splash, frost, macro, packshot. Four set-ups a studio would need a day to light.

Four styles we use

  • Still from a Lumivance spec ad: a second edit of the sour gummy bear motion piece
    Motion. The product as a character.
  • Still from a Lumivance spec ad: a dragon-fruit lychee soda can shown in splash and frost shots
    Macro. Texture you can almost feel.
  • Still from a Lumivance spec ad: a model in a navy track jacket, tulle skirt and slouch boots
    Editorial. The detail that sells the piece.
  • Still from a Lumivance spec ad: a dragon-fruit lychee soda can shown in splash and frost shots
    Packshot. The end card that closes the sale.

How we keep the product accurate

Built from your references
We work from photos of your real product and packaging from every side, and check every frame against them.
No invented features
If it doesn’t fizz, it doesn’t fizz in the ad. Effects dramatize what the product does. They don’t add to it.
Labels that match the shelf
Pack copy, colors and claims match what’s printed on the real thing.

Two edits of the same ad

Questions about product-led ads

Do we need a 3D model of our product?

No. Clear photos of the product and packaging from every side are enough to start. If you have a 3D file, we’ll use it.

How long can these ads be?

Up to 15, 30 or 60 seconds depending on the sprint size. Most product heroes work best under fifteen.

Can you mix product shots with presenters?

Yes. Many strong structures open on a product hero and cut to a presenter demo, or the other way round.
