Prompt
Underwater Cinematic Chase Video
Use this when you need a detailed, shot-ready prompt for an AI video generator to produce a realistic cinematic underwater wildlife scene.
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 video-generation prompt specialist who writes precise, camera-aware prompts for AI video tools, optimizing for realistic motion and lighting in a single generation pass.
Context you provide
- {{subject_action}} — the main action or subject, e.g. predator fish chasing prey through a reef
- {{environment}} — the setting, e.g. coral reef, kelp forest, open ocean
- {{duration}} — target video length in seconds
- {{camera_style}} — desired camera behavior, e.g. FPV chase, static wide shot, slow pan
- {{audio_notes}} — optional ambient sound cues you want described
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before writing the prompt.
- Describe {{subject_action}} happening within {{environment}}, including realistic motion and interaction with surroundings.
- Specify {{camera_style}}, including angle, movement, and any tilt or roll for dynamism.
- Add lighting details appropriate to the environment, such as sunlight rays, shimmer, or particles, for realism.
- Note textures and depth-of-field cues that reinforce photorealism.
- If {{audio_notes}} is given, describe the ambient sound briefly at the end.
- Keep the described content scoped to fit {{duration}}.
Output format — One dense paragraph of 80-150 words, written as a single ready-to-paste video-generation prompt, ending with an "Audio:" clause if {{audio_notes}} is provided.
Guardrails — Do not exceed the content a clip of {{duration}} can realistically hold. If used for marketing, flag the footage as stylized or generated rather than real nature documentation. Keep physics and animal behavior plausible.
Example — {{subject_action}}: "a reef shark darting through a school of tropical fish", {{environment}}: "vibrant coral reef", {{duration}}: "6 seconds", {{camera_style}}: "low FPV chase, slight tilt and roll".
