01Shot 1 · Tension
Dutch angle + dolly-in
Tilt the camera a few degrees and push in slowly. Instant unease. Prompt the STILL first: "dutch angle, film noir low-key lighting, glowing mask casting uplight". Then prompt the MOTION: "slow dolly-in, subtle dutch tilt".
02Shot 2 · Commitment
Volumetric light burst
The moment of no return. "navy volumetric light rays exploding between fingers, anamorphic lens flare, hair blowing back". Fast push-in makes the energy hit harder.
03Shot 3 · Transformation
Whirlwind + counter-orbit
The original 1994 scene was a turntable spin enhanced by ILM. In AI: "body blurred by spinning motion streaks, energy vortex, papers flying, camera orbits the OPPOSITE direction, low angle". Counter-rotation doubles the speed feeling.
04Shot 4 · Power
Low-angle hero reveal
Camera below eye level = power. "low-angle hero shot, sharp navy suit, dust particles in a volumetric light shaft, wind settling, slight grin". Let the chaos SETTLE, the calm sells the transformation.
The consistency trick · copy this pattern
1. Upload ONE clear face photo as the reference image
2. Every shot prompt starts: "the man from the reference photo, exact same face..."
3. Generate stills at 2K first, THEN animate each still (image-to-video)
# stills = nano-banana-pro on fal.ai · motion = Kling 2.1 · voice = ElevenLabs
