Prompt
Character sheet (repeat identically in every shot): {{character}}.
Location and light shared by all three shots: {{location}}, {{lighting}}. Style: realistic cinema, 35mm lens, {{palette}} palette, subtle film grain.
Shot 1 (wide, 4 s): the character arrives at {{location}} and stops; the locked-off wide frame shows how alone or accompanied they are in the space. It sets up the situation: {{setup}}.
Shot 2 (medium, 4 s): slow dolly in toward the character as they discover {{discovery}}; their expression shifts in a subtle, believable way.
Shot 3 (close-up, 3 s): close-up of their hands or face at the turning point: {{payoff}}. The camera holds still and the light stays the same as in the previous shots.
Same wardrobe, hair and proportions across all three shots. No text, no logos, no resemblance to real people.How to use it
- Generate each shot separately, always pasting the character sheet and the location/light block without changing a word.
- If the tool supports reference images or saved characters, create a portrait of the character first and use it in all three shots.
- Cut the three shots together and add ambient sound: the story reads without dialogue.
Usage example
Character: woman around 70, white hair in a bun, bottle-green coat · Location: an empty train platform · Setup: waiting for someone · Discovery: a letter on the bench · Payoff: she smiles as she recognizes the handwriting.

Frequently asked questions
How do I keep the same character across shots?
Repeat the exact same physical and wardrobe description word for word and, if possible, use a reference image. Even so, check continuity and regenerate any shot that drifts.
Why three shots instead of one long one?
Generators work best with short, single-action shots. Three shots (setup, discovery and reaction) are enough to tell a complete story.
