Another day, another tutorial.

This time; how to make Perplexity-style video (no video experienced required).

Let's jump into it.

First things first: we need to generate an image to use.

I roughly knew I wanted a man standing in a field of grass, so I told ChatGPT to generate a few prompt options surrounding this idea, in the style of a Perplexity advertisement.

Here's the one I ran with:

"A man standing alone in a dark field at night, illuminated by a soft circular spotlight on the grass below him. The grass is slightly dewy and glows under the light. The surroundings fade into darkness. The scene is quiet, contemplative, and surreal. The man wears a white dress shirt and brown trousers, casting a long shadow behind him. Cinematic lighting, volumetric glow, high contrast between light and dark, warm tones. In the style of a Perplexity AI advertisement."
