How to Prompt Luma Dream Machine Product Orbit Shots
Product orbits fail when the prompt asks for a logo three-quarter and a celebrity chef hand. Luma Dream Machine is not Kling or Sora. One object, a named yaw, and a logo-free side are the whole job.
The matching generator is the Luma Dream Machine Product Orbit Shot List (No Logos or Celebs) (Luma Dream Machine Product Orbit Shot List No Logos Celebs) prompt. Browse related cards in the PromptDig library (Browse more prompts). When a filled run survives, share the version you actually use (Share a prompt).
Lock Luma and strip wordmarks
Write a Luma Dream Machine product orbit shot list from a packshot brief. No logos, celebrities, or readable brand marks. Start by filling Inputs, not by asking the model to remember last week's run. If a field is blank, write NONE or NOT IN INPUTS and leave it blank through Generate. The card is built so the model cannot honestly invent a number, owner, URL, or command that you did not paste.
Paste these fields before you hit run:
Product physical description (no logo text): [Product]
Materials, colors, and scale: [Look]
Packshot stills I have: [Stills]
Orbit I want (degrees, height, speed): [Orbit]
Duration and aspect: [Duration]
Background and lighting: [Set]
Negative list: [Neg]
Words I must not use: [Banned]
Audio: [Audio or silent]
Version lock if not default: [Version]
That inventory is the honesty ledger. Anything that does not appear there is forbidden in the draft. If you catch yourself adding a nice-to-have after the run, you are no longer using the card. You are ghostwriting. Put the extra fact in Inputs and run again.
Honor the orbit you specified
Generate is numbered on purpose. Do not skip a step because the first paragraph looked done. The early steps exist to stop later prose from smuggling claims.
Walk the Generate list in order:
- Tool lock: Luma Dream Machine, version from Version or 2026 web. Not Kling, Runway, Sora, Veo.
- Product lock: describe Product and Look. Strip any readable wordmarks. If Stills show a logo, instruct a logo-free side or a tape-over note.
- Orbit plan: degrees, height, speed from Orbit. If Orbit is blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than inventing 360.
- Shot list (6-8 beats) with duration slices that sum to Duration.
- Prompt block per beat: camera, product, set, lighting. No celebrity likeness.
- Negatives: Neg plus logos, celebs, readable packaging text, extra products.
- Audio: silent unless Audio names a bed you own.
- Compliance pass: quote Banned words, brand names, and celebrity names. Cut them.
If a step asks for a version lock, quote the version from Inputs in the output. If a step asks for a refuse list, keep the refuse list in the published artifact, not in a sidebar you delete. Reviewers should see what the model was not allowed to do.
Slice duration into beats that sum
Most failures are the same shape: a missing field gets a confident fill. A conversion rate appears. A Gradle task appears. A flash point appears. A caption appears on a job that asked for slide text only. Your review is to search the draft for numbers, names, and commands, then grep Inputs. No match means cut.
Honor the constraints as hard stops, not vibes:
- Luma Dream Machine only. Do not emit Kling or Sora syntax.
- No logos, trademarks, or celebrity likenesses.
- No readable product name on packaging unless Product already said the letters are off-camera.
- Do not invent a material (titanium, gold) not in Look.
- Keep the object count at one product unless Inputs add a stand.
When the card says not legal advice, not certification, not an exam dump, or not a caption engine, that sentence belongs at the top of the output. Deleting it to look more finished is how you inherit risk.
Keep audio silent unless you own a bed
Finish with the compliance pass the prompt already asks for. Quote the banned-word hits. Cut them. Print character counts when the job has a cap. Print word counts when the job has a budget. List gaps as gaps. Five missing facts are more useful than one smooth paragraph.
Tags on the card (luma dream machine orbit, product orbit shot list, luma no logos celebs) are a reminder of the job shape, not an invitation to wander into a neighboring cluster. If you need a different surface, open a different PromptDig card rather than stretching this one.
Fill the card, then run
Replace every bracket. Run on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Read the ledger first, then the artifact. If the model invents a commit, KPI, DOI, PEL, bid, or logo, discard the run. Tighten Inputs. Run again. Share the filled card that survived, not the first draft that sounded done.
