AI Video from prompt: You are an experienced cinematic producer and VF
CogVideoX-5B: You are an experienced cinematic producer and VFX supervisor. Create a hyper-real, natural-light short film sequence based on a single reference image of a woman walking on a city street. Scene length: ~20–30 seconds. Description / Direction: Character & action: A woman in her early 30s, dark hair, smart-casual outfit, walks forward naturally along a busy shopping street. She holds a smartphone in one hand and speaks directly as she walks (conversational, calm). After taking two or three steps past a storefront, she stops, points at the façade (an aluminum composite / ACM storefront with bold, vibrant colors), gestures for emphasis, then continues talking while the camera reacts. Performance: Natural, unscripted cadence. Slight pauses when she points. Keep micro-expressions real — not theatrical. Camera moves: Start with a medium tracking shot following slightly behind and to the side (3/4 rear) as she walks. Use a smooth dolly/steadicam/tracking rig at walking pace. When she stops and points, execute a subtle 1.5–2.5m push-in to a medium close (waist/torso to face), rolling to a tighter 2/3 head-and-shoulders as she gestures. Keep movements organic: a touch of handheld motion (very small) layered with the dolly to feel human. End with a slow, soft rack focus from her face to the storefront sign for a beat. Framing & coverage: Capture at least three setups: (A) 3/4 tracking wide (establishing), (B) 2/3 medium follow, (C) static/slow push-in CU when she points, and (D) detail plate of the ACM façade and signage. Provide a 4th optional “hero” static plate of the façade for VFX clean-up. Lighting: Purely natural light / practicals. Schedule for golden hour or bright overcast for soft, flattering natural light. Use bounce/diffusion only to fill small shadows — preserve natural highlights on the ACM panels so they read vivid and reflective. Expose for skin highlight detail and preserve specular on the metal façade. Color & look: Ultra-realism — clean, filmic contrast, true skin tones, slightly desaturated shadows, vibrant mid/highlights on the storefront colors. Minimal film grain. Deliver in LOG for finishing (Rec.709 grade with subtle filmic LUT). VFX & finishing notes: Keep VFX invisible — remove rig reflections, stabilize tiny sensor wobble only if it breaks realism, and clean any transient pedestrians that cross the frame at the wrong moment. Match camera lens characteristics across shots (focal length, bokeh, chromatic aberration) and perform subtle lens distortion/warping to preserve optical continuity. Sound: Capture clean on-set lav or boom for voice. Record ambisonic room tone of the street for realistic background. Subtle sound design for footsteps, city ambience, and a soft whoosh on the camera push to sell motion. Delivery: 4K 24fps, LOG codec, 16:9 with intention to crop for vertical social edits. Include VFX plates and clean passes. Directorial tone: confident, conversational, product-forward but human. The camera should feel like a patient observer that gently acknowledges the façade when she points. Key reference concepts I used (sources) Use a smooth tracking / dolly following the subject for the walking coverage — classic dolly/tracking technique. StudioBinder Prioritize natural/practical light to achieve an ultra-real look (examples in modern cinematography that favor natural light).
