Cinematic Preview
Full Prompt Script
"prompt": "A hyper-realistic, cinematic 8-second shot of a lone, small, weathered wooden boat with a single occupant paddling slowly down a misty, tranquil river. The river is flanked by colossal, ancient, moss-covered stone statues of dragons carved into the towering cliffs on either side. The camera, positioned low and behind the boat, follows its gentle movement forward, slowly panning up to reveal the immense scale of the dragon statues disappearing into the thick, swirling fog above. The lighting is diffused and ethereal, with soft, grey light filtering through the mist, creating long, faint reflections on the water's surface. The mood is one of awe, solitude, and ancient mystery.",
"scene_elements": { "boat": "Small, old wooden boat with peeling paint and a single red flag fluttering softly. Occupant is a silhouetted figure, hunched over, paddling with a single oar.",
"movement": "Slow, steady forward motion, creating small, gentle ripples in the water."
"river": "Calm, dark water with a slightly reflective surface. Patches of mist drift across the water.",
"dragon_statues": "Massive, ancient stone carvings, weathered and covered in patches of green moss and dark lichen. The stone is rough and textured, with visible cracks and erosion. Their forms are majestic and slightly intimidating.",
"scale": "Towering, monumental, making the boat seem insignificant."
"atmosphere": "Thick, heavy mist and fog that partially obscures the tops of the cliffs and statues. The air feels cool and damp.",
"effects": "Swirling and slowly moving fog, light rays occasionally breaking through in faint beams."
"audio": "The gentle sound of water lapping against the boat, the faint drip of water from the cliffs, a low, subtle wind whistling through the gorge."
