Write a motion prompt for a still image
Writes a motion prompt that brings a still image to life, with what moves, what stays fixed and the camera, in at most 60 words.
Task:
Write a motion prompt that animates the still image I describe, for an image-to-video generator.
Context:
The image shows [describe subject and setting]. I want the clip to last about [seconds] seconds and feel [mood]. The clip is for [where it will be used].
Rules:
- Say what moves, how fast, and what must stay exactly as in the image, such as the face, the logo or the background.
- Add one camera move at most, or say the camera is still.
- Keep the prompt to at most 60 words and describe motion only, not what is already visible.
- Add a second version with less motion, because strong motion often distorts details.
- Where the image description is too vague to decide what moves, ask me one question first.
Result:
Two prompts labeled main version and calm version, each followed by one line naming the biggest risk of distortion.
