The Pop-Up Book Prompt

How the paper dragon island post was made: one image with Nano Banana 2, one video with Seedance 2.0, plus the reverse trick that makes the scene build itself piece by piece. The ready-made prompts live inside AI Creative OS.

01Step 1

Make the image with Nano Banana 2

Write the image prompt for Nano Banana 2 (on fal.ai or Replicate), aspect ratio 16:9. Swap the dragon for anything: a castle, a pirate ship, your product.

Keep the words paper grain, scissor-cut edges, drop shadows between layers. That is what makes it look handmade.

02Step 2

Animate it with Seedance 2.0

Feed the finished image into Seedance 2.0 image-to-video and ask for the OPPOSITE of what you want: "Stop-motion papercraft disassembly, starting exactly from the reference image: piece by piece the paper elements gently unfold, flatten and fly away off-screen, until only the open empty storybook remains.

Camera locked, no morphing, no text." 10 seconds, 720p.

03Step 3

Reverse it, that is the magic

Falling apart is easy for AI; building up perfectly is hard. So you generate the collapse and play it backwards.

The scene now assembles itself and lands EXACTLY on your image, piece by piece. The ready-made prompts live inside AI Creative OS.

One ffmpeg line: ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf reverse out.mp4

The exact pop-up book prompts

This guide is the full process. The ready-made version lives inside AI Creative OS on Skool, next to every other prompt pack I post.

How the prompt is built

The craft style first: a handcrafted layered papercraft diorama rising from an open storybook
Then every element of the scene by name, from the hero piece to the small details in the sky and the water
Then the handmade cues: paper grain, scissor cut edges and drop shadows between the layers
Close with light, a named color palette, the macro craft photography look and a no text, no watermarks line
