The Video Prompt Formula
[Main subject] + [action/motion] + [environment/setting] + [lighting] + [camera] + [style/mood]
Example: "A white wolf running through a snowy forest, morning mist, shafts of sunlight, tracking shot, cinematic, slow motion, ultra-HD"
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Too vague: "A beautiful scene" — add specifics about subject, setting, and motion
- Too many subjects: stick to 1–2 main subjects per clip
- Conflicting styles: do not mix "photorealistic" with "cartoon"
- Forgetting motion: describe HOW things move, not just what they look like
Proven Prompt Templates
- "Aerial drone shot flying over [location], golden hour, sweeping landscape, cinematic"
- "Close-up of [subject] with shallow depth of field, bokeh background, slow zoom in"
- "[Character] walking in slow motion through [environment], rain, neon reflections"
- "Macro shot of [object], highly detailed, studio lighting, 360 degree rotation"
