From this input to this video

An everyday sneaker ad built from official Blizzard product photographs.

Prompt

Create a 30-second e-commerce ad video for Allbirds Men’s Tree Runner Go in Blizzard, a lightweight everyday sneaker. Source the visuals from https://www.allbirds.com/products/mens-tree-runner-go?variant=40482706423888. The ad is for YouTube and its goal is introduce the shoe and invite viewers to explore it. Open with the question: Where will today take you? to stop the scroll. Show its breathable knit upper for everyday wear — the one thing a buyer needs to see. Tone: easygoing and confident. End with Explore the Tree Runner Go at allbirds.com and the brand logo. Voiceover language: English; if no voiceover, use bold on-screen text and background music. Preserve the exact real product and colorway using source photographs. Create motion through crops and framing, not fabricated product views. Do not invent stock availability, discounts, environmental savings or performance guarantees.
