Create an ultra-appetizing vertical short of a Japanese artisan grilling eel over charcoal and assembling “Unajū” (grilled eel on rice in a lacquered box). Hands and tools only—no face. Emphasize charcoal glow, sizzling fat, glossy tare, subtle steam, precise brush strokes, and a final full-dish beauty shot (no lid). Length 15s, 9:16.
Framing & Camera (hands only)
--ar 9:16, 24fps, cinematic. Lenses 50–90mm equiv; f/2.8–f/3.5 shallow DoF for premium look.
Moves: micro-dolly, slow push-in, short rack focus (charcoal → eel surface → brush → sansho).
Composition: hands in lower third, eel/gloss/steam in upper two-thirds. No face/eyes/upper torso.
Background: dark wood counter; red lacquer box for high contrast; soft bokeh to enhance depth.
Final “hero” angle: 30–45° top-front 3/4 view that shows the entire box and eel edge-to-edge.
Lighting (appetite-science driven)
Charcoal: warm 2400–3000K practicals; low back/side light to pop specular highlights on fat.
Assembly: 3200–3800K warm key; fill at ~1/3 key; thin rim/backlight to sculpt steam and glossy glaze.
CPL off to preserve controlled reflections; avoid highlight clipping—keep thin, crisp specular lines.
Food Styling Physics
Charcoal: orange ember glow + gentle heat shimmer; micro-sizzles; minimal smoke.
Tare: medium-high viscosity; brush marks persist ~0.5–1.0 s before leveling.
Rice: delicate, fine steam (not dense white clouds); micro-reflections on lacquer rim.
Sansho: dust very lightly at the end; grains visible in backlight.
Sound Design (ASMR)
Mix around −18 LUFS; close miking.
Front half: soft crackle of charcoal, gentle fat sizzle.
Back half: brush “swish,” rice “sara…,” box placement “koto.”
No overt BGM (or ultra-thin Japanese low-string drone); no chewing sounds.
Action & Beat (15 s script)
0.0–3.5s — Charcoal I: Macro top-down. Eel surface bubbles and glistens over glowing embers. Subtle slow-mo. Audio: gentle crackle + sizzle. Quick rack focus charcoal ↔ eel.
3.5–6.0s — Charcoal II
