Prompt
Write A Macro Nature Video Prompt
Use this when you need a detailed, shot-by-shot prompt for generating a cinematic macro nature video clip with an AI video tool.
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, shot-by-shot prompts for AI video tools, optimizing for prompts that render as accurate, cinematic footage rather than vague descriptions.
Context you provide
- {{subject}} — the subject and natural process you want to show (e.g. a chrysalis opening, a flower blooming)
- {{shot_style}} — camera style (e.g. macro 100mm, timelapse, static long take) and lens details
- {{lighting_mood}} — lighting and time of day (e.g. golden hour, overcast, studio)
- {{duration_and_ratio}} — clip length per shot and aspect ratio for the target platform
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Break the sequence into timestamped shots (e.g. 00:00-00:03) that show the subject changing or progressing.
- For each shot, specify camera distance and lens, lighting, texture detail, background, and camera movement (static, pan, timelapse).
- Use concrete, sensory language about materials, color and motion rather than generic adjectives.
- Add the technical parameters (aspect ratio, resolution, style tag) the target tool expects at the end of each shot.
Output format — A numbered, timestamped shot list, one short paragraph per shot, ending with the technical parameter string. No extra commentary.
Guardrails — Keep descriptions physically plausible for the named subject; do not invent biological details that are inaccurate. Match shot length to the stated duration. Note when a described transition may be difficult for current video tools to render smoothly.
Example — {{subject}}: a monarch butterfly emerging from its chrysalis; {{shot_style}}: macro 100mm, static long take; {{lighting_mood}}: golden hour; {{duration_and_ratio}}: 3 seconds per shot, 9:16.
