Prompt Writing Tips

  • Start with the subject and action: 'A woman walks through a garden'
  • Add camera movement: 'Camera slowly dollies in from medium shot to close-up'
  • Specify style: 'Cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, warm tones'
  • Include environment details: 'Golden hour, cherry blossoms falling'
  • Use sequential descriptions for complex scenes: 'First... then... finally...'

Example Prompts

Cyberpunk Action Scene
Style: Gritty 2080s Cyberpunk action cinema. Shot on digital IMAX with anamorphic lens flares, high contrast neon lighting mixed with deep shadows, and a desaturated, bleach-bypass color grade. Visceral, handheld camera shake during impacts. In a narrow, rain-slicked neon alleyway, steam rises from vents. A hardened mercenary is engaged in brutal close-quarters combat with an armored corporate security android. The air is thick with ozone and rain.
Ultra-Realistic Martial Arts
Ultra-realistic martial arts video in a Republican-era Chinese martial arts hall, 15 seconds total. Vintage Chinese indoor scene with warm yellow cinematic lighting, wooden weapon racks and wooden dummy background. Crisp detail, hardcore fluid action. A white-clothed man with a buzz cut launches a violent barrage of continuous punches — jabs, hooks, and crosses in rapid combination.
