Creating 'Day in the Life' Ads with Invideo
A 2025 guide on how to use Invideo to generate a complete 'day in the life' ad, following a realistic AI avatar who uses your product from morning to night.
Why This Use Case Matters in 2025
A "Day in the Life" ad is one of the most effective storytelling formats. It builds empathy and shows a product's benefits in a real-world, relatable context. Traditionally, this is a complex, multi-location, all-day video shoot. As of late 2025, Invideo can generate this entire narrative, complete with a consistent AI actor, across multiple scenes, all from a single text prompt.
How Invideo Simplifies 'Day in the Life' Ad Creation
Invideo's platform is designed to understand narrative structure and can generate a consistent character to tell your story.
Automated Generation (Text-to-Video)
You provide a prompt that describes your character, your product, and the "day's story" (e.g., "a busy student who needs energy"). The AI generates a script, generates the character and scenes, and assembles the video.
AI-Generated Avatars & Scenes
This is the core feature. Invideo can generate a realistic AI avatar (a digital human) and maintain that character's appearance across multiple, different scenes. You can prompt a full story:
- "Generate a scene of 'a woman waking up, looking tired.'"
- "Generate a scene of the 'same woman' drinking our energy drink."
- "Generate a scene of her 'at her office, feeling productive.'"
- "Generate a scene of her 'at the gym after work.'"
AI Scripting & Voiceovers
The AI will generate a script in the first-person ("I start my day...") to match the "day in the life" format. The AI avatar will then speak this script with a natural-sounding, authentic voice and perfect lip-sync.
Intuitive Refinement (Text-Based Editing)
After the first draft, you can "direct" the character. Use simple text commands like, "In scene 3, make the avatar smile more," "Upload my product photo and make her hold it in the first scene," or "Change the music to be more 'upbeat and motivational.'"
Step-by-Step Workflow
Step 1: Upload Your Product Photo
Have a clean, high-quality photo of your product ready to upload.
Step 2: Write the Prompt
Describe your character, the product's role, and the key moments of the day.
- Example Prompt: "Create a 60-second 'day in the life' ad. The character is 'Sarah,' a busy professional. Generate a scene of her 'waking up and drinking my product (uploaded photo).' Then, a scene of 'Sarah in a busy office.' Then, 'Sarah relaxing at home.' The same character should be in all scenes. She should narrate how the product helps her all day. Use an upbeat, authentic female voice."
Step 3: Refine with Text Commands
Use simple text commands to refine the story.
- "In the office scene, make Sarah look more focused and confident."
- "Add a text overlay: 'From morning rush to evening calm.'"
- "Change the avatar's outfit in the last scene."
Comparison: Traditional Workflow vs. Invideo
| Factor | Traditional Method | Invideo (2025) |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Timeline | 2-3 days (all-day shoot at multiple locations, editing) | 10-20 minutes (generation and refinement) |
| Cost | Very High (actor, crew, location fees, editor) | Low (fixed subscription cost) |
| Skill Requirement | Professional (Director, videographer, editor) | Accessible for any brand manager (prompt-based) |
| Revisions | Requires a reshoot | Instant and text-based; create a new ad with a different "character" |
Expert Tips for Better Results
- Define Your "Protagonist": Be specific in your prompt. Don't just say "a person." Say "a busy college student," "a new dad," or "a freelance artist" to get the right look and feel.
- Upload Your Product: This is crucial. The ad's purpose is to show your product as the "hero" of the character's day. Upload your product photo so the AI avatar can be shown with it.
- Break the Day into 3-4 Scenes: A good "day in the life" ad shows a clear transformation. Use key moments: Morning (the problem), Midday (the benefit), Evening (the result).
