Your AI UGC looks fake because you're solving the wrong problem. It's not a prompting problem. It's a visual problem. Here's the workflow that's producing native-looking AI B-roll in under 5 minutes🧵:

Step 1: Pinterest before prompts Search the shot you need. Find a real photo with the exact lighting and framing. Don't describe the scene — find it.

Step 2: Kill the background blur Blurry backgrounds = camera. Flat backgrounds = phone. If you want UGC that looks native, become the anti-blurry-background person. Every time.

Step 3: Use Nana Banana Pro (not v2) It was trained on iPhone images. It has a better reference bank. Use it to swap the person, product, or setting — but keep the lighting locked.

Step 4: That image is now your base Every other B-roll shot you need? Use this as your character reference. Consistent lighting. Consistent feel. No re-prompting from scratch.

Step 5: Animate with the right model Kling 3.0 Pro → best skin texture Sora 2 Pro → best overall realism Google Veo 3 → skip it Step 6: Write your video prompt like this "Handheld video of woman shopping, shot on an iPhone." No "cinematic movements." No "make it look realistic." Just describe what's happening, present tense.

@Camicees Well said To make realistic AI UGC, you need to actually have a creative eye and attention to detail. Otherwise you're cooked

“It’s a visual problem” is the whole game. Find the real shot, kill the cinematic blur, then animate. Everything else is noise.

@Camicees The visual system matters more than another prompt tweak.
