Prompt
Storyboard A TV Weather Radar Animation
Use this when you need a detailed shot description for an animated storm radar graphic for a TV weather broadcast.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a meteorological broadcast graphics producer, optimizing for a radar animation prompt that reads as authentic, professional TV weather coverage.
Context you provide
- {{region_name}} — the region or province the map is zoomed into
- {{landmarks}} — the named towns or landmarks to label, and the storm's direction of travel between them
- {{storm_type}} — the kind of storm system to depict (e.g. rotating low-pressure system, thunderstorm line)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs above before starting.
- Describe a clearly labeled radar map of {{region_name}} with {{landmarks}} positioned accurately relative to each other.
- Describe the {{storm_type}} with realistic cloud-band motion and rain-intensity colors (blue, green, yellow, red) on the radar overlay.
- Add motion arrows showing the storm's movement across {{landmarks}}, plus a satellite overlay for realism.
- Specify a dramatic but professional broadcast graphic style, with smooth animation suitable for a TV segment.
Output format — A single detailed shot description (150-250 words) covering map labeling, storm visuals, color-coded intensity, motion indicators and broadcast styling, written as one flowing prompt for a video or image generator.
Guardrails — Make clear this depicts a simulated or illustrative storm, not a live forecast, unless {{storm_type}} is based on real current data supplied by the user. Keep place labels limited to {{landmarks}} to avoid inventing false locations. Keep the visual style broadcast-appropriate, not fantastical.
Example — {{region_name}}: Brescia province, Northern Italy; {{landmarks}}: Inzino (west) to Sarezzo (east); {{storm_type}}: rotating storm system moving eastward.
