minchoi shares example 7 of his AI video prompt series: a beach UGC vlogger clip. The technique is specifying every imperfection that makes AI video read as authentic front-camera phone footage: raw 9:16 vertical selfie video, one continuous 30-second take, slight softness with digital noise and compression, deep focus, drifting lens flare, auto-exposure dimming as her head blocks the sun, no color grading, plus character and sunset details. The "imperfection as realism" parameter set is the key to passing UGC authenticity.
