For Image models
Midjourney, Flux, Imagen: keyframes and style boards for image-to-video. 12 entries.
Video generation 11
Anime style: 2D cel look, limited animation, clean line weight
A filled 7-part prompt for a hand-drawn anime shot: flat cel shading, animation on twos, a held painted background, and the three things the style breaks in current video models.
Architectural walkthrough: an interior on a steadicam in natural light
A filled 7-part prompt for a real-estate or design walkthrough: one slow steadicam path through a room, windows as the only light, straight verticals, and the turns that make geometry drift.
Keep the same character across clips: the reference sheet prompt
A character description block you reuse verbatim in every prompt, plus a generated reference sheet, so a face, outfit and build stay the same from shot to shot.
Claymation and stop motion: 12 fps feel, fingerprints, slight jitter
A filled 7-part prompt for a clay stop-motion shot where the imperfections are the point: visible fingerprints, a frame-by-frame stutter, a set that looks built by hand, and what not to ask for.
Fashion lookbook: a model walks in a studio at 24 fps
A filled 7-part prompt for a lookbook clip: seamless backdrop, one walk toward the camera, cinema frame rate so the fabric moves like fabric, and the faces, feet and prints that need extra care.
Food close-up: macro, steam, a slow pour
A filled 7-part prompt for a food shot that looks edible: one macro framing, one slow physical event (a pour, steam, a crack), side light that shows texture, and the hands and labels to keep out.
Image-to-video: generate the first frame, then animate it
Make a still with an image model first, fix the composition there, and only then ask the video model to animate it. Cheaper iterations and the look you chose, not the one the video model guessed.
Pixel art: an 8-bit game cutscene on a locked pixel grid
A filled 7-part prompt for a retro game cutscene: a stated sprite size, a palette of 16 colours, parallax layers, no sub-pixel smoothing, and why a still from an image model is the safer first frame.
Product hero shot: a 5-second generated clip for an ad or a listing
Prompt for a clean product shot with one motion and one light change, the kind that sits at the top of a listing or opens a 15-second ad.
Style lock: one paragraph that makes every clip look like the same film
A reusable style paragraph (stock, palette, grain, light rules) appended to every generation prompt so a series cuts together instead of looking like ten different ads.
Watercolor and painterly: a moving painting with paper grain and bleeding edges
A filled 7-part prompt for a hand-painted look: wet-on-wet edges, visible paper grain, boiling pencil lines, slow motion so the paint stays paint, and the drift to 3D when the action is too fast.
