Lesson 2 of 8 · 6 min read

Your First Video

Write a prompt with a subject, an action and a mood, and generate your first clip.

  1. 1

    Subject, action, place

    Start with who or what is on screen, what they're doing and where. “A white sports car racing along a coastal highway at sunset” already gives the model everything it needs.

  2. 2

    Add the look

    Then add one or two words for light and lens: “golden hour, low tracking shot, lens flare”. Short and specific beats long and vague.

  3. 3

    Generate and compare

    Generate two takes. Watch both and decide what you'd change. That instinct is the whole job of a director.

Try it

White sports coupe racing along a coastal highway at sunset, low tracking shot, lens flare, car commercial

Open in the studio

If a result is close but not right, change one thing at a time.

Homework

Make a 5-second clip of something you can see from where you're sitting, then make a second version with different light.
