Pixel Food Image-to-Video VIDEO Breakdown (Prompts Included)
Recreating this pixel latte image-to-video workflow works best when the realistic creator image is generated first and used as the identity and composition anchor. Create the pixel version by changing only the coffee mug texture and adding the title banner. Then use the matching video prompt to animate the same reference image. The pixel blocks may move, sink, and disappear into the mouth, but they must never morph into realistic liquid.
Step 1
Open pollo.ai, select Image Generation, paste the image prompt below and click Generate. Set GPT Image 2 as the default image model. Adjust the aspect ratio according to your video needs; multiple sizes including 16:9 and 9:16 are supported.
Image Prompt : Realistic Latte Creator Reference
PROMPT HEADER:
Create a 9:16 vertical, ultra-realistic UGC fashion and lifestyle creator photo. Use the reference image’s extreme wide-angle perspective and the composition of both hands presenting a coffee toward the camera. Emphasize strong realism, an Instagram aesthetic, and a polished yet natural influencer presence.
CHARACTER AND APPEARANCE:
Show a young female creator whose appearance is distinctly different from the reference image, with unique facial features, naturally voluminous dark slightly wavy long hair, retro sunglasses, and elegant earrings.
She holds a hot latte with a perfect heart-shaped latte-art pattern in both hands and presents it toward the extreme foreground. Use the ultra-wide perspective to make the coffee mug and her ring-covered hands visually prominent. Her lips form a subtle confident smile behind the coffee, and her expression feels relaxed, stylish, and authentic.
SETTING AND LIGHTING:
Set the scene at outdoor seating near a minimalist urban cafe entrance, with a modern glass door and a city concrete street in the background. Use bright natural outdoor light, realistic skin texture, natural highlights, and subtle real-life imperfections.
Avoid beauty retouching, over-smoothed skin, and plastic AI texture. The image should feel like a high-quality Instagram lifestyle photograph captured on a real phone or modern camera.
CLEAN FRAME RULES:
Do not include any text, subtitles, logo, watermark, or interface elements.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
changed coffee shape, missing heart latte art, extra cups, extra hands, distorted fingers, changed creator identity, copied reference face, plastic skin, beauty retouching, studio background, artificial lighting, text, subtitles, logo, watermark, UI, cartoon, anime, CGI, low resolution
Image Prompt : Latte Block Pixel Transformation
REFERENCE AND FORMAT:
Create a 9:16 vertical, ultra-realistic full-bleed photo based strictly on Reference Image 1. Capture it with an extreme 0.5x ultra-wide-angle high-angle perspective and edge-to-edge framing under natural daylight. The image must be completely free of black borders and circular vignetting.
IDENTITY AND SCENE LOCK:
Keep every element from Reference Image 1 completely identical: the exact same young woman, facial features, dark wavy hair, amber-framed sunglasses, hoop earrings, brown-and-blue striped polo shirt, jewelry rings including an amber resin ring and a pearl gold ring, white socks, dark-brown Tabi shoes, the high-angle pose cupping the huge coffee mug forward with both hands, and the outdoor cafe entrance background.
Do not redesign the woman, change her face, change her pose, change her outfit, or change the established camera perspective.
PIXEL OBJECT TRANSFORMATION:
The handheld coffee mug retains its exact original oversized proportion, wide ceramic silhouette, and hot-latte color scheme with heart latte art from Reference Image 1, but its texture transforms into a 3D Minecraft-style pixelated block design.
Compose the mug from light ceramic pixel blocks, the coffee from brown pixel blocks, and the heart latte-art pattern from white pixel blocks on the surface. The object should feel like a solid 3D voxel construction while preserving the original mug’s silhouette, size, position, and perspective.
TITLE BANNER:
Position a semi-transparent black pixelated box near the top of the frame like a prominent title. Display large, bold white Minecraft pixel font text that reads exactly:
“Latte Block”
Keep the title highly legible, centered within the black pixelated box, and visually integrated into the composition.
COMPOSITION CONSTRAINTS:
Use full-frame edge-to-edge composition with no black frame, no dark vignette border, no extra logos, no watermark, and no UI elements.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
changed woman, changed face, changed hair, changed sunglasses, changed jewelry, changed shoes, changed pose, changed background, changed mug proportion, changed mug silhouette, realistic coffee texture, smooth liquid, missing heart pattern, missing pixel blocks, melting voxel mug, extra text, misspelled text, extra logos, watermark, UI, black border, circular vignette, distorted hands, distorted fingers, plastic skin, cartoon, anime, glossy CGI, low resolution
Video Prompt : Outdoor Latte Block Sip
REFERENCE AND FORMAT:
Create a vertical 9:16, 8-second image-to-video clip based on the generated Latte Block outdoor image in an aesthetic Instagram street-style vlog format. Use the reference image as the exact visual anchor.
TITLE BANNER:
The pixel-style banner text “Latte Block” remains floating near the top and completely static throughout the video. Do not change, animate, replace, blur, crop, or remove the title banner.
IDENTITY AND CAMERA:
The woman wears sunglasses and a striped shirt. Preserve the same woman, facial features, hair, jewelry, clothing, outdoor cafe entrance, high-angle ultra-wide perspective, mug proportion, hand placement, lighting, and voxel design throughout the entire eight-second clip.
The camera smoothly tracks the mug as it moves toward the woman’s face. Keep the composition stable and avoid sudden reframing, random zooming, or a change to the wide-angle perspective.
MOTION AND ACTION:
The woman first presents the 3D voxel pixel latte mug to the camera. She then smoothly pulls it closer to her face while the camera tracks her movement.
The pixelated coffee sways naturally with her motion while strictly maintaining its 3D blocky pixel form at all times. The pixel blocks can shift slightly as a rigid voxel mass, but they must not turn into smooth liquid.
When she leans close to the rim to sip, individual pixel blocks from the heart-patterned latte art smoothly shift, sink, and flow directly into her mouth. The effect should clearly show solid voxel blocks being swallowed while retaining their hard-edged pixel shape.
She then lowers the mug slightly, looks back at the camera with a genuine satisfied smile, and gives a subtle nod. The outdoor cafe setting, outfit, jewelry, lighting, title banner, and wide-angle perspective remain strictly consistent.
AUDIO:
Use natural outdoor cafe ambience, subtle ceramic movement, a realistic sip, a soft pixel-block movement sound, and a quiet satisfied exhale. No narration, subtitles, or added dialogue.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
moving or changing title banner, missing title banner, changed text, changed woman, changed sunglasses, changed shirt, changed jewelry, changed background, realistic coffee liquid, pixel blocks becoming smooth liquid, missing heart pattern, mug morphing, changed mug size, spilled coffee, extra hands, distorted mouth, exaggerated sipping, fast zoom, camera shake, black border, vignette, extra logos, watermark, UI, cartoon, anime, glossy CGI
Video Prompt : Cozy Cafe Latte Block Sip
REFERENCE AND FORMAT:
Create a vertical 9:16, 8-second image-to-video clip based on the provided Latte Block cafe reference image in an aesthetic Instagram vlog style. Use the reference image as the exact visual anchor.
TITLE BANNER:
The pixel-style banner text “Latte Block” remains floating near the top and completely static throughout the entire video. Do not change, animate, replace, blur, crop, or remove the title banner.
IDENTITY AND SCENE:
Show the same stylish woman wearing a black beanie inside a cozy cafe. Preserve the exact 3D voxel shape and appearance of the coffee mug. Keep the cafe background, outfit, warm lighting, camera perspective, object placement, and title banner strictly consistent.
MOTION AND ACTION:
The woman presents the 3D voxel pixel latte mug to the camera and smoothly pulls it toward her face. The blocky coffee inside sways subtly like a mass of undulating building blocks.
When she takes a sip, the coffee changes only in pixel quantity. Individual surface blocks vanish into her mouth, and the topmost layer of the heart-patterned latte art visibly diminishes in pixel count and drops lower.
The coffee must retain its rigid voxel texture throughout. It must never morph into realistic liquid, foam, cream, or photographic coffee.
Finally, she lowers the mug slightly and looks at the camera with a genuine satisfied smile. End with a stable, natural expression and no additional action.
AUDIO:
Use subtle cafe room tone, light ceramic movement, a natural sipping sound, and a soft pleased exhale. No narrator, subtitles, or dialogue.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
moving or changing title banner, missing title banner, changed text, changed woman, changed beanie, changed cafe, changed lighting, realistic coffee liquid, smooth texture, pixel blocks melting, missing heart pattern, mug morphing, changing mug shape, changed mug size, extra hands, distorted mouth, exaggerated sipping, camera shake, fast zoom, black border, vignette, extra logos, watermark, UI, cartoon, anime, glossy CGI
Image Prompt: Matcha Block
REFERENCE AND FORMAT:
Create a 9:16 vertical, ultra-realistic full-bleed photo based strictly on Reference Image 1. Capture it with an extreme 0.5x ultra-wide-angle perspective and edge-to-edge framing under natural daylight. The image must be completely free of black borders and circular vignetting.
IDENTITY AND SCENE LOCK:
Keep every element from Reference Image 1 completely identical: the exact same young Western woman, facial features, sideways face turned away from the camera, red baseball cap, blonde hair, white T-shirt layered over a striped collared shirt, gray trousers, red sneakers, cheetah-print nail art, chunky gold rings, pose cupping the mug forward, hand grip, and white-tiled outdoor cafe exterior wall background.
PIXEL OBJECT TRANSFORMATION:
The handheld mug retains its exact original size, ceramic mug silhouette, and vibrant green matcha latte color scheme from Reference Image 1, but its texture transforms into a 3D Minecraft pixelated block style. The object is composed of a white pixelated ceramic mug and rich green pixel blocks for the matcha.
TITLE BANNER:
Position a semi-transparent black pixelated box near the top of the frame like a prominent title. Display large, bold white Minecraft pixel font text that reads exactly: “Matcha Block”.
COMPOSITION CONSTRAINTS:
Use full-frame edge-to-edge composition with no black frame, no dark vignette border, no extra logos, no watermark, and no UI elements.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
changed woman, changed face, changed outfit, changed pose, changed mug silhouette, realistic matcha texture, smooth liquid-only mug, missing pixel blocks, broken pixel mug, extra text, misspelled text, extra logo, watermark, UI, black border, circular vignette, cropped hands, distorted fingers, plastic skin, cartoon, anime, glossy CGI, low resolution
Video Prompt: Matcha Block
REFERENCE AND FORMAT:
Create a vertical 9:16, 8-second video based on the generated Matcha Block image. Use an aesthetic Instagram street-style vlog format. Preserve the exact woman, red baseball cap, clothing, gold accessories, outdoor street setting, wide-angle perspective, mug silhouette, pixel texture, and title banner.
TITLE BANNER:
The pixel-style banner text “Matcha Block” remains floating near the top and completely static throughout the entire video. Do not change, animate, replace, blur, or remove the text.
MOTION AND ACTION:
The woman presents the 3D voxel pixel matcha latte mug to the camera with a confident smile. As she smoothly pulls the mug toward her face, the camera tracks her movement. The pixelated green matcha liquid sloshes and sways naturally with fluid-like motion while retaining its blocky 3D voxel texture.
She takes a realistic sip. As she drinks, the surface pixel blocks subtly shift, drop, and diminish as if the liquid is being consumed into her mouth. The green matcha remains made of visible rigid pixel blocks and never becomes realistic liquid.
She lowers the mug slightly, looks back at the camera with a genuine satisfied smile, and gives a subtle nod. All clothing, gold accessories, outdoor setting, lighting, and wide-angle perspective remain strictly consistent.
AUDIO AND CAMERA:
Use natural street ambience, subtle handheld camera movement, light cup movement, and a quiet realistic sipping sound. Keep the camera movement smooth and controlled. No narrator, subtitles, additional text, or music that overpowers the UGC presentation.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
changed identity, changed outfit, changed background, moving title banner, changing text, missing title text, realistic liquid, pixel texture disappearing, smooth ceramic mug, mug morphing, mug changing size, spilled drink, extra hands, distorted fingers, exaggerated mouth, fast zoom, camera shake, black border, circular vignette, extra logos, watermark, UI, cartoon, anime, glossy CGI, low resolution

IDENTITY AND SCENE LOCK:
Keep every element from Reference Image 1 completely identical: the exact same young Asian woman, facial features, gray beanie with beaded embellishment, pastel blue sweater, light-blue manicured nails, pose, dark textured background, and brown leather banquette.
PIXEL OBJECT TRANSFORMATION:
The handheld drink retains the exact original shape, glass silhouette, and color scheme of the green melon soda float from Reference Image 1, but its texture transforms into a 3D Minecraft pixelated style. Compose it from green pixel blocks, a white pixelated ice cream scoop, a red pixel cherry, and a pixelated glass outline while maintaining the exact original form.
TITLE BANNER:
Position a semi-transparent black pixelated box near the top of the frame like a prominent title. Display large, bold white Minecraft pixel font text that reads exactly: “Melon Soda Block”.
COMPOSITION CONSTRAINTS:
Use a full-frame composition with no black frame, no dark vignette border, no extra logos, no watermark, and no UI elements.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
changed woman, changed beanie, changed sweater, changed pose, changed drink shape, missing ice cream scoop, missing cherry, realistic soda texture, smooth glass without pixel structure, extra text, misspelled text, extra logo, watermark, UI, black border, circular vignette, distorted hands, plastic skin, cartoon, anime, glossy CGI, low resolution
Video Prompt: Melon Soda Block
REFERENCE AND FORMAT:
Create a vertical 9:16, 8-second image-to-video clip based on the generated Melon Soda Block image. The pixel-style banner text “Melon Soda Block” remains floating near the top, completely static and motionless throughout the entire video.
MOTION AND ACTION:
Maintain the identical 3D voxel pixel style for the green melon soda drink, white pixel ice cream, red pixel cherry, and pixelated glass outline. The woman smoothly brings the drink closer in front of her, reaches out with her fingers, gently picks the red pixel cherry from the top, puts it in her mouth, and eats it naturally.
Her expression becomes genuinely pleased as she chews and smiles with delight. Keep the background, outfit, warm lighting, camera angle, and overall visual tone strictly consistent over the eight seconds.
AUDIO:
Use subtle cafe room tone, a light glass movement sound, a soft bite sound, and natural chewing. Keep dialogue absent and do not add narration or subtitles.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
moving or changing banner text, missing banner, changed woman, changed outfit, changed background, cherry becoming realistic, cherry disappearing before it is picked, extra cherries, melting ice cream, liquid-only soda, voxel style loss, glass morphing, extra fingers, distorted mouth, exaggerated chewing, camera shake, fast zoom, black border, vignette, text changes, logo, watermark, UI, cartoon, anime, glossy CGI
Image Prompt: Croissant Block
REFERENCE AND FORMAT:
Create a 9:16 vertical, ultra-realistic photo based strictly on Image 1, captured with an extreme 0.5x ultra-wide-angle fisheye perspective under bright natural daylight.
IDENTITY AND SCENE LOCK:
Keep every element from Image 1 completely identical: the exact same young Western woman, facial features, dark wavy hair with bangs, light-blue ribbed top, pose holding out the plate forward, and pastel yellow wall background with dark green door frames.
PIXEL OBJECT TRANSFORMATION:
The plate with the large golden croissant retains the exact original shape, silhouette, and golden-brown color scheme from Image 1, but its texture transforms into a 3D Minecraft pixelated block style. Compose the croissant from golden-brown pixel blocks and the plate from white pixel blocks, referencing the pixel style in Image 2.
TITLE BANNER:
Position a semi-transparent black pixelated box near the top of the frame like a prominent title. Display large, bold white Minecraft pixel font text that reads exactly: “Croissant Block”.
COMPOSITION CONSTRAINTS:
Use a clean full-bleed frame with no extra logos, watermark, or UI elements.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
changed woman, changed face, changed hair, changed top, changed background, realistic flaky pastry, smooth croissant texture, missing pixel blocks, plate morphing, extra text, misspelled text, extra logos, watermark, UI, black border, vignette, distorted hands, plastic skin, cartoon, anime, glossy CGI, low resolution
Video Prompt: Croissant Block
REFERENCE AND FORMAT:
Create a vertical 9:16, 8-second image-to-video clip based on the generated Croissant Block image in an aesthetic Instagram vlog style. The pixel banner text “Croissant Block” remains floating near the top and completely static throughout the entire video.
MOTION AND ACTION:
Maintain the identical 3D voxel pixel style for the croissant block and the white pixel plate. The entire croissant must remain in 3D pixel-block form at all times.
The woman brings the pixel croissant toward her mouth and takes a big bite. The newly revealed bitten section must clearly display an interior made entirely of pixel blocks rather than realistic bread texture.
As she chews, a delighted happy smile spreads across her face, and she nods with full satisfaction. Keep the background, lighting, camera angle, woman, plate, and overall visual tone strictly consistent.
AUDIO:
Use subtle outdoor cafe ambience, light plate movement, a soft pixel-food bite sound, and natural chewing. No narration, subtitles, or dialogue.
NEGATIVE PROMPT:
moving or changing banner text, changed woman, changed hair, changed clothing, changed background, realistic bread interior, flaky photographic crumbs, smooth pastry texture, melting croissant, disappearing plate, extra croissants, extra hands, distorted mouth, exaggerated chewing, camera shake, fast zoom, black border, vignette, text changes, logo, watermark, UI, cartoon, anime, glossy CGI
Final Summary
Create vertical 9:16 image-to-video clips that combine realistic UGC photography with stylized 3D voxel food and drink objects. Keep the creator, outfit, background, wide-angle composition, lighting, and title banner stable while the pixelated food moves, gets tasted, or is consumed.
This tutorial includes six image prompts and five video prompts for Matcha Block, Melon Soda Block, Croissant Block, and Latte Block variations. The workflow begins with a realistic reference image, transforms only the selected food or drink into a blocky pixel object, and then animates that object with controlled sloshing, picking, biting, sipping, and pixel-consumption effects.
