Unboxing and ASMR product video

Two photos in (the closed packaging and the product), a 10-second hands-only unboxing out: taps on the lid, the lid lifting off, the product in its tray, lifted out and switched on, with native ASMR sound and no music. In Motion's 2026 benchmark of 578,750 Meta ads, unboxing had the highest hit rate of any format (9.8%, spend-use ratio 1.3), yet only 2.1% of creatives use it (runneth/Motion).

1. Ask, then go

• Photos: the product (white background, ≥1000 px) and the closed packaging. No box? Make one: nano_banana_2_1 with the product photo, "a closed premium retail box for this product, lift-off lid, the product photo printed on the front, on a light oak table". Tested: one call, 5 credits.
• Opening: lift-off lid (most reliable), magnetic flap, sleeve, tissue wrap. Avoid tape cutting: box physics and blades break most often.
• Style: hands-only ASMR top-down (default), cozy POV on a bed or sofa, or luxury macro on marble.
• Length: 5 s teaser (tap + reveal), 10 s standard, 15 s with first use.

2. The prompt: timed blocks, references by role

Name what each image is, never re-describe the product (the reference does that), and give every 2–4 s block a VISUAL, an ACTION and a SOUND. Add "slow, careful, pause" to every action: jerky hands are the most common failure (Floyo's Seedance ASMR template).
