# CGI product ads and FOOH-style videos

> A CGI product ad shows a product in an impossible or oversized scene, such as a giant billboard, a claw machine or a product floating over clouds. FOOH, short for fake out-of-home, is the variant set in real-looking streets. Adseezy creates these surreal clips from one product photo, with no 3D artist.

## When a surreal ad is the right call

CGI-style ads earn attention through surprise. They work when the brand can be playful and the product shape is recognizable at a glance.

- **Iconic packaging**: Distinctive bottles, cans and boxes survive being made huge or tiny, which is the whole joke.
- **Launches and drops**: An Oversized Billboard or Make It Big style makes a launch feel like an event.
- **Brand awareness**: Surreal scenes are made to be shared and remembered rather than to explain features.
- **Toys and collectibles**: Claw Machine and Toy Packaging styles fit products that already feel playful.
- **Less suited**: Products that need explaining, like software or complex devices, are better served by a UGC creator ad.

## Six surreal concepts and what they say

- **Make It Big**: The product becomes huge in a real setting. Says: this product is a big deal.
- **Oversized Billboard / 3D Waterfall Billboard**: The classic FOOH look: the product breaking out of a city billboard.
- **Claw Machine**: A playful reveal that suggests 'you will want to win this'.
- **Product In A Bottle / Glass Ornament Sphere**: Precious, collectible, displayed: good for small premium items.
- **Balloons Product / Parachute Clouds Product**: Light and joyful: arrivals, deliveries, new-in announcements.
- **Tiny Product Held**: The reverse joke: a miniature product in a giant hand, good for compact gadgets.

## Honesty with FOOH

Fake out-of-home ads are understood as creative effects, but avoid implying a real event happened. Don't caption a FOOH clip as if your product was actually installed in a real city, and follow each platform's rules on labeling AI-generated or altered content.

## How to make it in Adseezy

1. **Open the AI Product Video Generator**: Filter by the Surreal Staging category.
2. **Upload a product photo**: A clean, front-facing photo with the product's outline clearly visible.

## Tips for the product photo

- The silhouette matters most: shoot the product straight-on so its shape is recognizable at any scale.
- Use a high-resolution photo; being made huge exposes blur and compression.
- Avoid props or hands in the photo, which confuse the scene composition.

## FAQ

### What is a FOOH ad?

A FOOH ad, short for fake out-of-home ad, is a video that uses CGI to place a product in a real-looking public space, such as a giant product on a building or bursting out of a billboard. The scene never physically existed.

### Do I need a 3D model of my product for a CGI ad?

No. Adseezy creates CGI-style product ads from one product photo, so no 3D model, 3D artist or rendering software is needed.

### Should AI-generated CGI ads be labeled?

Platforms such as Meta, TikTok and YouTube have their own rules for AI-generated or altered content. Check each platform's current policy and label CGI product ads where required.
