Fashion film

An editorial fashion piece — high style, strong art direction, runway or lookbook energy, and very little explanation.

When to use it

Seasonal campaigns, brand-level fashion and beauty, and any product sold on taste. The restraint is the point: it is the format that says the least and looks the most expensive.

The thing to get right

It deliberately withholds copy. If the ad needs a price, an offer or a claim on screen, a fashion film is the wrong container for it.

The format at a glance

• Output — a video ad.
• Structure — 5 beats, each one a separately planned shot.
• Family — Cinematic & brand film.
• Recipe id — fashion_film, which is what you name when you ask for it by hand or from an agent.

How Hermoso renders it

You do not write a prompt for this. Hermoso reads your brand first — the product, the logo, the palette, the voice — from your website or a short description, then plans the ad against this format: a beat list, the on-screen copy, and the casting if a person appears. The render happens beat by beat, and every word that ends up on screen is composited afterwards by the app rather than painted by the model, so headlines, captions and the end card come out exactly as written instead of warped and half-invented.

If you have a real product photograph, add it. It is the difference between an ad showing your packaging and an ad showing packaging a model imagined, and it is the single biggest quality lever on any product format here.

Directed, produced-looking spots: the commercial, the hero product film, the manifesto, the animated piece. Longer beat counts, a story shape, and a look that is meant to read as a budget rather than a phone.

• Giant product — the product at impossible giant scale in a real environment — a surreal, scroll-stopping spectacle played straight
• Classic meets modern — a stylish split between timeless/heritage and contemporary — the product bridging classic and modern worlds
• Cinematic / narrative — a filmic, emotional, story-driven brand film
• TV commercial — a glossy, broadcast-quality 15s commercial
• Product hero film — photoreal product cinematography — the product is the star
• Animated / cartoon — a 2D/2.5D animated, illustrated or motion-graphic spot

Driving it from an agent

Every format on this site is reachable from an AI agent as well as the web studio. Hermoso ships an MCP server, so Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any other MCP client can call plan_ad to draft the creative and render_ad to produce it, name a format as the recipe, and get a finished file back — with the same brand grounding and the same composited-text guarantees. The MCP and CLI overview covers the setup, and the generated tool reference is the complete list.
