Video Generation prompts
Prompts for Sora, Veo, Runway and other video models.
2D Anime Action Cut (Sora 2)
A single anime action cut with real animation grammar: impact frames, smears, held poses and speed-line backgrounds — not a 3D render wearing an anime filter.
Dialogue Scene with Camera Direction (Sora 2)
Directs a two-person dialogue scene in Sora 2 like a shot list: blocking, coverage, lens choice, and synced dialogue — written the way a DP would brief it.
Golden-Hour Drone Establishing Shot (Veo 3)
A Veo 3 prompt for sweeping establishing shots: structured as subject–camera–lighting–motion, with the pacing words that keep drone moves smooth.
One-Take Foot Chase Sequence (Sora 2)
Directs a continuous-take chase in Sora 2 using a professional shot brief: lens, camera rig, grade, and soundscape specified like a DP's call sheet.
Street Interview With a Hook Question (Veo 3)
The viral man-on-the-street format for Veo 3: physically anchored camera, one question, one answer, and native audio doing the production work.
15-Second Product Hero Ad
A three-beat product commercial structure for AI video: problem flash, hero reveal with one killer detail shot, and end-card space — timed to the second.
Stop-Motion Style Animation Loop
A handcrafted stop-motion look for AI video: deliberate 12fps stutter, clay and felt textures, and a composition built to loop seamlessly.
Seamless Product Orbit Loop (Runway Gen-4)
Turns a single product still into a loopable orbit clip for e-commerce pages — motion-only prompting plus the loop discipline that makes it seamless.
Still Image to Motion — Minimal Prompt Method (Runway Gen-4)
The counterintuitive Gen-4 technique: say nothing about how the image looks, describe only what moves — with the three-slot template Runway responds to best.
Sizzling Food Commercial B-Roll (Veo 3)
Appetite-appeal macro food shots with the audio written like a sound designer's spec — steam, sizzle and crunch are the actual product.
Macro ASMR Sensory Clip (Veo 3)
The oddly-satisfying macro ASMR formula: one impossible material, one clean action, extreme close-up, and hyper-detailed sound cues front and center.
Paper Cut-Out Diorama Animation
A layered paper-craft world in motion: parallax between hand-cut layers, visible paper texture, and movement that respects how paper actually bends.
