A product spot for Nocturne Stout, a beer brand I made up, down to the lettering engraved into the can. The water droplets are procedural rather than simulated: they run down the can along its surface, leave thinning trails behind and absorb the smaller droplets in their path, all calculated per frame without a cache. A final pass in Kling O3 Video Edit refined the look of the droplets and added the smoke in the background.
