Agent and Alien Gear Check

Read the full prompt@Video1 is the exact template for camera, framing, every movement and its timing, the locker room set, lighting, sound and the props in order - follow @Video1 strictly. @Image1 is the main hero who holds the camera: appearance only, never its background. @Image2 is the partner who peeks in over his shoulder: appearance only, never its background. Keep every special feature of both, such as skin colour, eye shape and number of fingers, visible in every frame. Photorealistic live-action footage, real skin texture, natural locker-room light, real metal and fabric, hands grip each prop naturally. Handheld selfie camera on an outstretched arm, wide lens from slightly below, dark metal lockers with stickers behind. [0-1 s] the hero talks to the camera in a close selfie. [1-2 s] the partner peeks in over the hero's left shoulder. [2-4 s] the hero turns to the partner for a quick friendly moment and turns back to the camera smiling. [4-5 s] a sleek retro-futuristic silver-and-black blaster pistol held up to the camera and turned sideways. [5-6 s] the hero points a slim silver pen-shaped device at the lens and clicks it: a blinding white flash with a turquoise glint fills the whole frame, then fades back to the hero. [6-7 s] a folding knife held to the camera. [7-8 s] handcuffs raised in both hands. [8-9 s] two pistol magazines held to the camera. [9-10 s] a small black flashlight held to the camera. [10-11 s] hands reach to the camera and the shot whips away with motion blur. The hero ends standing in the locker room, frame settled. Only the people and the named props change; everything else stays as in @Video1. Avoid: subtitles, captions, any text, logos, watermark, extra people, extra fingers, studio grey background, cuts that are not in @Video1.

Read the full promptA white capsule-shaped research station sits alone on a violet-grey desert of smooth dunes, the sand pale beige along the ridges. A light wind carries a thin veil of sand across the dune in front of it. The camera slowly pulls back, widening to show the empty desert and a clear sky. Bright midday sun from high overhead, short soft shadows. Wide shot, everything in focus. No people, no text, no logos, no watermark.

Read the full promptA cinematic static shot of a lone astronaut sitting on the stone edge of a long reflective pond in a sunlit Mediterranean courtyard with arches, climbing flowers, ivy-covered walls, and terracotta pots. The water is calm and dark, dotted with lily pads and soft pink water lilies. The astronaut remains seated in a quiet contemplative pose, gently and slightly swinging their legs over the water in a slow relaxed motion, causing only the faintest subtle disturbance near the surface. Warm golden-hour light washes over the old stone architecture and softly reflects in the pond. The atmosphere feels peaceful, surreal, and poetic, with no camera movement, only the small natural motion of the astronaut's legs. Photorealistic, highly detailed, cinematic 4K.

Read the full promptCinematic sci-fi space scene. A lone person stands completely still in the center, facing a giant luminous galaxy suspended in front of them. The galaxy slowly rotates, its spiral arms moving gracefully with glowing stars, nebula colors, and swirling cosmic dust. On both sides of the person, translucent futuristic screens hover in the air, actively displaying shifting data, diagrams, graphs, star maps, and animated interface elements. The person remains motionless, observing the scene. Small planets, asteroids, and distant stars are visible in the background. Epic cosmic atmosphere, ultra detailed, glowing holographic interfaces, soft reflections, cinematic lighting, surreal futuristic mood, smooth slow motion, film look.

Kling O1140

Read the full promptCinematic retro-futuristic synthwave scene in a neon-lit room filled with vintage CRT televisions. A chrome humanoid robot with a television for a head sits relaxed among glowing old monitors. Across the surrounding TV screens, glitch effects, static noise, scanline distortion, flickering interference, and shifting corrupted signals appear continuously. Some screens briefly break, tear, and recover with analog noise and digital artifacts. On the TV screen of the robot's head, a simple face is displayed; at first it is neutral, then a clear smile slowly appears on the screen, as if the television-human becomes quietly happy. Neon purple, cyan, and magenta reflections shimmer across the metallic body and the old plastic monitors. Ultra detailed CRT glow, realistic screen noise, retro tech atmosphere, soft ambient neon lighting, cinematic composition, surreal playful mood, film look.

WAN 2.6140

Read the full promptCinematic cyberpunk driving scene at night. A stylish young woman sits behind the wheel, driving a car with calm focus, both hands on the steering wheel. Neon city lights reflect across the interior and her glossy futuristic outfit. Outside the car windows, the background continuously changes as the car moves forward — blurred city streets, passing lights, buildings, road signs, and shifting urban scenery sliding by naturally. Raindrops and reflections on the glass add atmosphere. The woman remains composed and confident, with subtle natural movements, slight head turns, blinking, and realistic driving posture. Smooth motion, moody neon lighting, futuristic interior, realistic passing background, ultra detailed, cinematic film look.

Read the full promptCinematic cyberpunk portrait. A young woman in a black turtleneck stands still and poses to the camera with a calm, serious expression. She makes only minimal natural movements — subtle breathing, slight eye movement, almost imperceptible head adjustment. Around her head and along part of her face, digital glitch effects appear and distort the space: floating neon fragments, corrupted pixels, scanline interference, flickering UI elements, fragmented data blocks, and brief electronic distortions that pulse and break apart in the air. The glitch feels concentrated near her head, as if her identity is digitally fragmenting. The camera remains completely static. Dark monochrome portrait base with bright cyan and magenta glitch accents, ultra detailed skin texture, futuristic corrupted interface aesthetic, moody studio lighting, cinematic composition, high contrast, film look.

LTX 2.380

Read the full promptSymmetrical view through a round station porthole with a matte black frame: planet Earth fills the lower half, ocean-blue seas under white cloud swirls, empty black space above. Hard sunlight breaks from behind the planet's edge, a thin golden rim along the horizon. The station drifts slowly, the planet glides gently sideways, the camera stays still. No text, no logos, no watermark.

Seedance 2.0100

Read the full promptExtreme macro across the curved glass face of a vintage CRT tube, shot as an object in a bright studio against a saturated cobalt seamless #1F4FFF. The frame is filled edge to edge with phosphor triads, the fine aperture-grille mesh and horizontal scanlines, glass curvature catching a clean specular streak from a large softbox above. On the screen: a purely abstract color field in acid green #7CFF3D and cobalt, with deep charcoal #0E1116 in the shadow valleys between phosphor dots. Over 5 seconds that abstract field resolves in place — coarse chunky compression blocks progressively subdivide and sharpen into fine crisp gradients and precise edges, brightness and phosphor bloom steadying as it clarifies. Each phosphor dot stays fixed on its grid, nothing travels across the frame. Camera locked on a tripod, absolutely no camera movement, no push-in, no drift, no handheld, no zoom, static framing throughout. 2026 retro-futurist product photography, high-key, neon as accent.

Kling O1220

Read the full promptCinematic vaporwave digital dreamscape in a pastel cyber environment above soft clouds. Multiple retro computer windows float in layered space like an old operating system interface, overlapping and sliding around the scene as if being dragged across a desktop. The windows move independently, opening, shifting, stacking, minimizing slightly, and drifting in smooth motion. Intermittent glitch effects appear across the floating interface: pixel tearing, RGB separation, scanline distortion, corrupted fragments, flickering image blocks, digital jitter, and brief signal interference. Icons, folders, floppy disks, cursors, and neon geometric elements hover around the composition while the central aesthetic artwork distorts and recovers through soft glitch bursts. Dreamy pink, cyan, lavender, and mint palette, retro-futuristic computer graphics, glossy vaporwave atmosphere, floating clouds, soft neon glow, surreal nostalgic internet aesthetic, ultra detailed, cinematic composition, smooth interface motion, digital dream mood, film look.

Kling 2.6 Pro150

Read the full promptCinematic surreal museum corridor scene. The camera smoothly travels forward through a grand classical hall filled with marble statues and glossy stone floors. As the camera advances, vibrant neon light trails fly and swirl through the space, weaving gracefully around the statues, curving through the air, and flowing toward a glowing circular portal at the far end of the corridor. The neon ribbons move like living streams of energy, crossing paths, bending, and leaving luminous reflections on the polished floor. Small glowing geometric particles float and spin around the light trails. The architecture remains majestic and still, while the neon motion brings the scene to life. Ultra detailed marble textures, reflective floor, cyan pink and purple neon glow, futuristic energy in a classical setting, cinematic composition, smooth forward camera movement, high contrast, dreamlike sci-fi atmosphere, film look.

WAN 2.250

Read the full promptA dreamy futuristic space café on a pastel alien planet, glowing with soft neon pink and blue lights. The camera slowly pushes in toward the café, creating a gentle cinematic zoom-in. In the deep cosmic background, stars drift and streak softly across space, as if slowly flying by. The giant ringed planet above the café remains majestic and still, while the star field feels alive and magical. Soft atmospheric glow, pastel sci-fi aesthetic, cozy fantasy mood, highly detailed 3D scene, smooth motion, dreamy lighting, whimsical space environment, ultra polished render.

Veo 3.1170

Read the full promptCinematic product shot of a futuristic dagger lying still on a dark wet tabletop. The blade remains motionless while the camera moves in a smooth arc around it, slowly orbiting to reveal the reflective metal, engraved guard details, and glowing purple-blue highlights from different angles. Thin smoke drifts low across the table surface, sliding and curling around the dagger in soft flowing waves. Water droplets and small puddles on the table catch the colored reflections and shimmer subtly. Dark moody background, neon accent lighting, ultra detailed metal texture, realistic smoke motion, glossy reflections, dramatic luxury weapon aesthetic, cinematic composition, smooth camera movement, high contrast, film look.

WAN 2.6200

Read the full promptCinematic surreal sci-fi meadow scene. A brown and white cow runs forward through a field of colorful wildflowers, moving naturally with energetic but smooth motion. Behind the cow, a classic metallic UFO flies low through the air, following her at a short distance. The UFO glides steadily, with soft glowing lights and a beam shining downward. In the background, smoke and mist drift across the field, moving with the wind and adding atmosphere. Small glowing particles sparkle around the scene. Warm sunset light, dreamy haze, detailed grass and flowers bending slightly, realistic animal motion, smooth UFO movement, cinematic lighting, ultra detailed, magical sci-fi realism, film look.

LTX 2.370

Read the full promptWide shot from high above: a single smooth white flying capsule glides from left to right between enormous graphite towers that rise out of sight into the clouds. Magenta light strips run down the tower facades and tint the capsule's rounded side. A cool pale-blue dusk sky glows behind the skyline as the main light. The camera stays still. No text, no logos, no watermark.

Seedance 2.090

Read the full promptAnime action sequence, modern cel-shaded animation. An original teenage hero in a dark jacket with a flowing red scarf crouches on a neon city rooftop at night, then launches upward in a burst of blue energy. Hard cut: extreme close-up of his determined eyes, white speed lines streaking past. Hard cut: a wide impact frame as he lands and a shockwave of glowing rings blasts outward, dust and sparks flying, the camera shakes. Radial speed lines, dramatic rim light, saturated neon blues and magentas, dynamic camera whips between cuts, high-energy anime cinematography. Stylized energy effects only, no blood, no weapons, no injuries. The character is entirely original: do not depict any existing anime character, brand or trademark. No lettering on signs or walls. No dialogue, no subtitles. There is no text anywhere in the frame.

Kling 2.6 Pro270

Read the full promptCinematic retro-futuristic sci-fi scene. A glowing neon sports car drives smoothly across a frozen reflective surface, leaving bright neon light trails streaming behind it. The car moves steadily forward with sleek motion, and the luminous trails stretch, curve, and fade dynamically as it passes. In the sky above, giant planets slowly rotate, their rings shifting subtly, while colorful aurora waves ripple and flow across the cosmic background. Small floating ice rocks and stars remain suspended in the vast space environment. The icy ground reflects the car’s neon glow, planets, and moving light streaks. Ultra detailed, glossy reflections, vibrant cyan and magenta neon accents, surreal cosmic atmosphere, cinematic composition, smooth motion, high contrast, film look.

WAN 2.270

Read the full promptCinematic street fashion scene in a neon-lit Asian city at dusk or night. A stylish young woman stands in the foreground on a wet urban street, facing the camera. At the start of the shot, her hand is very close to the lens, partially covering the frame. She slowly pulls her hand back away from the camera, revealing her face more clearly. She keeps a confident, playful pose and maintains eye contact with the camera. The camera then gently pans to the left, showing more of the city street. Cars drive by in the background, headlights reflecting on the wet asphalt, while pedestrians walk naturally along the sidewalk. Urban signs glow softly, the atmosphere is lively, stylish, and cinematic. Realistic motion, natural body posture, subtle hair movement, detailed street reflections, shallow depth of field, fashion editorial look, ultra realistic.

Seedance Pro50

Read the full promptCinematic cyberpunk scene in a dark industrial space. A person sits beneath a cluster of suspended CRT monitors and televisions connected by cables. The camera slowly pulls back, smoothly moving away from the subject and revealing more of the room. The TV monitors constantly flicker with analog noise, static, scanline interference, glitch artifacts, and distorted signal errors. Some screens briefly lose signal, some flash corrupted faces, some stutter, freeze, or show broken code and unstable image fragments before recovering. The malfunction feels irregular and organic, as if the system is unstable. Neon red and blue lighting, glowing cables, sparks of digital interference, moody retro-futuristic atmosphere, realistic CRT screen behavior, subtle ambient haze, ultra detailed, cinematic lighting, smooth backward camera movement, dystopian tech aesthetic.

A happy young man and woman sit across from each other at an elegant table, smiling warmly and raising crystal glasses in their hands as they drink together in a joyful, intimate moment. Their movements are natural and refined — subtle smiles, soft eye contact, small hand movements with the glasses, relaxed posture, light conversational energy. Behind them, through a huge panoramic round window, a giant ringed planet slowly rotates in the sky above a glowing futuristic cityscape. Soft evening lights shimmer across the skyline, while the planet’s rings shift gently as it turns. Warm ambient restaurant lighting, polished table reflections, glamorous vintage sci-fi atmosphere, ultra detailed, elegant clothing, cinematic composition, smooth realistic motion, luxury romantic mood, film look.

Kling 2.6 Pro30

Read the full promptLow-key studio, projection-mapped electric cyan butterfly wings behind the subject, blue light patterns on her skin. She starts looking off-camera, then slowly rotates her head to face the lens and smiles slightly. Projector shimmer: tiny speckles and caustic-like highlights drift subtly across her collarbones and cheeks. Slow truck-right camera move over 5–6 seconds, constant speed, stabilized, 50mm look, shallow DOF, soft bloom/halation on the brightest cyan, filmic motion blur, 4K, 24fps.

How to Write Sci-Fi & Cyberpunk Video Prompts

Sci-fi video works best when the world moves and the camera stays calm. Several of our prompts use "The camera stays still" while a capsule glides between towers or a planet slides past a porthole. State the speed in words, like "The station drifts slowly". For an establishing shot, ask for "Wide shot, everything in focus". Scale needs a measure, so keep one familiar thing in frame. Without it a huge ship reads as a toy.

For a character in a glitch or screen scene, begin from a clear start state, as in "her hand is very close to the lens". Then give one change, such as the hand pulling back. Keep the face nearly still with "subtle breathing" and let the effects carry the motion. Describe glitch as visible things, such as "floating neon fragments, corrupted pixels", not as a mood.
