Describe one short shot: subject, one action, camera move, light and style. These prompts work as a starting point in most text-to-video tools; adjust length and ratio to the tool you use.
Nature
A slow push-in on a stream flowing over mossy rocks in a forest, morning mist, soft natural light, calm and cinematic.
City
A handheld shot following a cyclist through a rainy city street at dusk, neon reflections on wet asphalt, shallow depth of field.
Product
A rotating shot of a pair of white sneakers on a pale pedestal, soft studio light, smooth 360-degree orbit.
Portrait
A woman turns her head and smiles at the camera, gentle breeze in her hair, golden hour light, static camera.
For image-to-video, describe only the motion.
Food
Close-up of honey slowly pouring onto a stack of pancakes, warm light, macro lens look.
Establishing
A wide aerial shot rising over a coastal village at sunrise, calm sea, soft clouds.
