Prompts that work

A portrait comes alive
Animate this photo: the woman turns her head toward the camera and smiles, her hair moves in a light breeze, the background stays still, slow push-in, natural light, 6 seconds, gentle ambient sound. Keep her face exactly as in the photo.
An illustration in motion
Animate this illustration: the little dragon flaps its wings and lifts off the castle tower, clouds drift, the camera follows it upward, the art style stays exactly the same, 6 seconds.
A landscape with life
Animate this landscape photo: clouds move across the sky, the lake ripples, birds cross the frame, slow pan to the right, 6 seconds.
How to get good results
- The first frame decides the clip: use the sharpest, largest version of the picture, already cropped to the shape you want.
- Describe motion, not the picture: the model already sees it. 'She turns and smiles' beats a description of her.
- Say what must not change: the face, the logo, the art style.
- To end on a specific picture too, use a model that takes a last frame (Kling 3.0, Wan 3.0).
- Seedance does not accept photos of real people's faces: use Wan 3.0 or Kling 3.0 for those.
