# UGC lifestyle broll Human Guide ## What This Is For 20 lofi, TikTok-native b-roll formats for lifestyle brands. It gives the agent a clearer input/output frame for UGC lifestyle broll: what context to ask for, what decisions to make, and what usable artifact to return. Use this as a human-readable version of the UGC lifestyle broll agent skill. It is meant for marketers, operators, founders, and other non-coders who want the workflow without reading agent-specific implementation instructions. ## When To Use This - Use this when you need a repeatable process for UGC lifestyle broll. - Use this when the task needs judgment, examples, constraints, or a clear output format rather than a one-off prompt. - Use this when you want to hand an AI assistant enough context to produce a usable marketing artifact. ## When Not To Use This - Do not use this when you only need a quick factual answer. - Do not use this when the work depends on private data you cannot share with the assistant. - Do not use this as a replacement for legal, compliance, financial, or medical review. ## What You Need Before Starting - The goal or business outcome you want. - The audience, customer segment, or market context. - Any source material the assistant should respect, such as notes, briefs, examples, URLs, or brand guidance. - Constraints such as tone, length, channel, deadline, region, or approval requirements. - A clear definition of what a good final answer should look like. ## Step-By-Step Workflow 1. State the job clearly: "Use the UGC lifestyle broll guide to help me with..." 2. Add context: audience, goal, offer, channel, source material, and constraints. 3. Ask the assistant to identify missing inputs before producing the final output. 4. Have the assistant follow the skill-specific guidance below. 5. Review the result against the final checklist and ask for revisions where needed. ## Skill-Specific Guidance - Identify the user's goal (ad filler, mood-setting, product placement, aesthetic content). - Select the format below that best matches. - Use the **Prompt Template** to compose the `prompt` field for `POST /videos/generate`. Replace `[BRACKETED]` placeholders with details from the user. - Default to `aspectRatio: "portrait"` (9:16) and `nFrames: "10"` unless the format specifies otherwise. - Keep the tone ambient, cinematic, and natural. No talking, no CTAs — pure vibes. - 0-3s: Wide shot of a sunlit room, light pouring through curtains - 3-6s: Slow pan to a surface (nightstand, counter) where [PRODUCT] sits in the light - 6-8s: Close-up of light catching the product packaging, golden glow - 8-10s: Pull back slightly, dust particles floating in the light beam - 0-3s: Low-angle shot of coffee table with [PRODUCT], mug, and a book/magazine - 3-6s: Shallow depth of field — product sharp, background softly blurred - 6-8s: A hand enters frame, picks up the mug, sips, sets it back down ## Decision Points And Nuance The original skill emphasizes: How to Use These Formats, Formats, Morning Light Pour, Coffee Table Moment, Bag Dump, Desk Drop, Vanity Top-Down, Window Sill, Hands Close-Up, Towel and Steam. Use these questions to steer the work: - What is the intended audience or buyer? - What source material must be preserved? - What should the assistant optimize for: clarity, persuasion, accuracy, speed, creativity, or conversion? - What examples represent the desired quality bar? - What should the assistant avoid? ## Common Mistakes - Starting without a clear audience or goal. - Asking for a final artifact before sharing examples or constraints. - Accepting a generic first draft without checking it against the intended use. ## Copy-And-Paste Prompt ```text Use the UGC lifestyle broll human guide.
