Reference-Led Video Briefs

Create video clips guided by a reference idea. Name the subject, composition, environment, and essential identity cues before describing motion. Begin with one readable action and one camera move.

Define the reference elements
Name the subject, composition, environment, and any essential identity cues that must remain stable.
Add one motion
Describe one readable action and one camera move. Keep the motion simple and focused.
Review the output
Check that the reference elements are preserved and the requested motion is clearly visible.

Character Introduction

A young woman in a red coat stands in a busy train station, she turns and looks toward the camera, natural daylight from the glass roof, commuters moving around her, cinematic style.

The subject, clothing, setting, and lighting remain stable; the turn and look are the only actions.

Reference elements are stable: The subject, composition, environment, and identity cues should remain recognizable after the motion.
Motion is readable: The requested action and camera move should be easy to identify without competing instructions.

The woman's red coat changes color during the clip. How do I fix it?

Add 'same red coat throughout, no color change' to the prompt.

The commuters are not moving. How do I add motion?

Specify 'commuters walking around her, busy station' in the prompt.

The turn and look is too fast. Can I slow it down?

Add 'slow turn and look toward camera' to the prompt.
