Full Cinematic Prompt Breakdown: A Mountain-Scale Storm Dragon in Four Shots
ArjanDoge · reddit · 2026-10-02
- The author shares a complete prompt for a 15-second cinematic reveal: a mountain-scale East Asian storm dragon half-made of living storm clouds, with two tiny robed figures on a stone terrace, structured as four timestamped shots (shoulder close-up → turning mass in cloud → head breaking through → extreme wide finale).
- Key techniques: locking five subjects with "fullypreserved" blocks; anti-CGI constraints (wet weathered stone, large worn armor plates, "no plastic sheen, no smooth 3D model look"); making clouds tear around and form part of the dragon's mass rather than a backdrop.
- A useful reference template for cross-shot character consistency and photoreal texture control in long-form video generation.
