Car Salesman Stressed "We're F@*ked"

🏢 Brand Marketing Advanced Aug 15, 2025 by Tapas45 Nicky

Description

An 8-second cinematic close-up of a mid-40s male Ford salesman in a UK dealership, whispering in panic into a corded office phone. Shot on an 85mm lens with ultra-shallow depth of field, the camera stays just off his right cheek, slowly dollying in as sweat glistens under cool fluorescent light. His grip on the handset never loosens. Between urgent whispers, he freezes, eyes darting toward vague movement in the blurred background. Ends on a tense, breath-held glance.

Veo 3 Prompt

  "description": "Extreme tight medium close-up of a mid-40s male car salesman at his oak desk in a UK Ford dealership showroom, speaking in a panicked whisper into a single corded black office handset held firmly against his right ear with his right hand throughout the entire scene. Shot on an 85 mm long-focus prime with ultra-shallow depth of field, his shoulder is slightly raised in tension. Sweat beads glisten under cold fluorescent panels. The camera sits just off his right cheek at eye level (thats where the camera is) with a slow dolly-in. His lips move minimally, his voice tight and trembling, breaths shallow between words. He leans in as if the handset itself is a secret vault, never loosening his grip. Between phrases, he freezes entirely, eyes cutting toward vague movement in the blurred background, but the phone remains pressed to his ear.",
