Image prompt: (fill in the brackets)
"A behind-the-scenes photo on a film studio soundstage. In the foreground, a real film crew works around a large practical miniature set built on the studio floor: [DESCRIBE THE MINIATURE LANDSCAPE, e.g. dry hills, a coastal city, a snowy mountain range], with tiny trees, buildings, and terrain built to scale.
A large [DISASTER TYPE, e.g. wildfire / tsunami wave / avalanche / sandstorm] is staged across the miniature using controlled practical effects. A blue screen wall rises behind the set. Camera operators on jib arms and dollies, an effects technician at a console, and crew in black stand around it, mid-take.
Overhead studio rigging and lights. Documentary behind-the-scenes feel, candid, photoreal, natural human poses. The blue screen wall and the dry studio floor stay clearly visible. High resolution."
Video prompt (Seedance 2.0 Reference): (fill in the brackets)
"Treat the first image as the opening frame and the last image as the final frame of one continuous shot. The clip begins on [STARTING VIEW OF THE MINIATURE, e.g. the high dry hills at the back]. A [DISASTER, e.g. wildfire / wave / avalanche] begins at [WHERE IT STARTS] and sweeps forward across the miniature landscape, [MAIN MOTION, e.g. flames rolling hill to hill / the wave surging toward the city / snow tearing down the slope], gaining size as it travels.
The camera slowly pans and travels with the [EFFECT FRONT] as it moves across the set, gradually revealing [LANDMARKS IT REACHES, e.g. the miniature city, a famous skyline] by the end.
Real volumetric effects and physics: [EFFECT DETAIL, e.g. flames and thick black smoke, embers drifting / spray and foam / powder and debris]. Effects drift toward the studio floor.
The film crew work a real take: operators pan and tilt to follow the action, a technician monitors the effect at the console, crew crouch and brace. The jib arm cranes down following the effect. Handheld phone-camera sway.
The effect stays low across the miniature and does not climb or reach the blue screen. The blue screen wall and the dry studio floor where the crew stand remain visible throughout. Controlled practical effects with safety crew visible, behind-the-scenes documentary feel, natural human movement, heavy realistic physics, candid."
