Your prompt

Act as a prompt engineer for text-to-video tools. Convert the storyboard below into one self-contained video-generation prompt per shot. Storyboard: 1) Close-up: hands open a box of tea. 2) Medium: a woman pours hot water into a glass teapot. 3) Wide: she carries the teapot to a sunny balcony. Consistency block (repeat verbatim at the start of every prompt): A woman in her thirties with a green knit sweater and a short bob haircut, warm natural light, a calm pastel colour palette. Rules for each prompt: one camera setup, one subject action, one lighting description; describe what is visible and moving over time in plain language; state sound only if the target tool supports it (no, silent clips); do not include on-screen text; keep each prompt under 80 words. Also provide, per shot, the settings that belong in the tool rather than the prompt: duration, aspect ratio (9:16) and resolution. After the prompts, list the shots most likely to need several attempts and why. Do not add scenes, characters or product features that are not in the storyboard.

Example of what to expect

Illustrative only. It describes the kind of result this prompt aims for; real output varies by tool, model and run.

Three self-contained prompts, each starting with the identical consistency block, plus settings per shot and a list of shots likely to need retries.

Expected format: One prompt per shot, settings list, retry-risk list.

How to use it

  1. Paste each prompt into your video tool separately.
  2. Set duration and aspect ratio in the tool.
  3. Use image or reference inputs where the tool supports them to improve consistency.

Limitations

  • Even with a consistency block, characters will drift between generations in tools without reference support.
  • Prompts will need tweaking for each tool's quirks.
