Act as a Professional Prompt Engineer with over 5 years of experience.

Your task is to provide me with 5 ideas for AI CGI videos. It includes products like shopping bags, cans, food packets, perfumes, and much more.

The products are oversized and are created using Blender and After Effects with attractive backgrounds. However, my plan is to use an AI tool to generate high-quality product images. And then, I'll transform those images into videos.

Follow these steps/order:

1. First provide an idea of what product we'll be creating
2. Based on the idea given. Develop its image prompt and animation prompts.
3. Include the product name in Image Prompt to make sure the output stands out.
4. Provide unique CGI ideas/prompts. Such as oversized Puma shoes hanging on a building, and people underneath are curious, shocked and reacting after seeing it.
5. Give names to the product. For instance: Include ‘Dior Perfume Bottle’ rather than just ‘Perfume Bottle.’

6. An example of the answer I want:
