That’s why coming up with a solid prompt can save you a ton of cash on your video project!
Let me show you how using JSON prompting 🧵👇
If you’ve never heard of JSON before, let me explain, it’s super simple:
It’s a lightweight text format commonly used in JavaScript, but we can totally use it for our prompts too. It helps us organize parameters in a neat and structured way.
I picked the following parameters, which I think are essential for a good video, but tweak it to fit your style:
· Scene description
· Visual style
· Camera movement
· Main subject
· Background setting
· Lighting/mood
· Audio cue
· Color palette
· Dialog
· Subtitles (on/off)
1. A chimpanzee operating a jackhammer on a city sidewalk
2. A gibbon in a fitted apron stands behind the counter of a modern coffee shop, operating a professional espresso machine and carefully pouring steamed milk into a cappuccino with visible latte art technique, while soft indie music plays
3. A bonobo wearing a navy pilot uniform with silver stripes walks confidently through an airport terminal, pulling a wheeled suitcase behind him as he nods at other crew members, moving with purpose toward a boarding gate
It makes no sense. Took me just 45 minutes and cost $33 total.
The prompts are below 🧵👇
2000s TV show, broadcast booth. A man, Mike, around 35 years old, is sitting and speaking from a broadcast booth. He’s wearing an earpiece and talking to the camera with an energetic voice. With humor, he says:
“This is SmackDash… and these guys are going to have a blast… literally!”
Backstage interview zone. Greg, 40, soaking wet, covered in confetti and foam, stands in front of a branded SmackDash backdrop. Other contestants walk behind him, laughing or limping. He is saying this to his female interviewer:
“I came here to win. I left my dignity on the jelly ramp.”
