Video Generation

Video prompts require thinking in motion, time, and sequence. Master the art of directing AI video with conscious, structured prompts.

Best Practices

Describe the Scene, Not Just the Subject

Include environment, weather, time of day, and atmosphere. 'A woman walks through a neon-lit Tokyo alley at night, rain reflecting city lights on wet pavement.'

Direct the Motion

Specify camera movement and subject action: 'Slow dolly forward,' 'tracking shot from left to right,' 'subject turns toward camera.' Motion is the language of video.

Control Pacing and Duration

Indicate tempo: 'slow-motion water droplet impact' vs. 'fast-cut montage of city traffic.' Pacing shapes emotional impact more than content alone.

Reference Cinematic Styles

Name specific directors, cinematographers, or films: 'Wes Anderson symmetrical framing,' 'Blade Runner 2049 color palette,' 'handheld documentary style.'

Common Pitfalls

❌ Too vague on motion

✅ Always specify camera movement AND subject movement independently.

❌ Ignoring temporal structure

✅ Describe what happens at the start, middle, and end of the clip.

❌ Overloading a single prompt

✅ Keep each clip concept focused. Complexity kills coherence in video generation.
