Prompt

prompt.txttext
4K cinematic science-fiction short, 8 seconds, 24 fps, 16:9. A lone adult traveler in a long dark coat walks slowly away from camera along a glass skybridge above a year-3000 city at dusk. Camera follows in a smooth low dolly. A vertical ring of white-gold light, a time portal, grows ahead of them and reflects on the glass floor. Towers of pale metal and hanging gardens rise through fog. Small flying craft cross the distance. Soft volumetric light, teal shadows, amber sky, anamorphic lens, shallow depth, natural motion, no text, no logos.

How to keep the shot stable

  1. Start on the traveler's back so the face never has to stay consistent.
  2. Use one camera move only: a slow dolly forward.
  3. Name the portal as a ring of light, not a jump cut.
  4. Ask for natural motion and no text so titles are not burned into the frames.
