Production notes
- Generate in clips of 8-10 seconds: shots 1-2, 3-4, 5-7, then 8. Repeat the character descriptions in every prompt for consistency.
- Both reference photos are overcast. Prompt for sunlight breaking through the canopy to match the bright, blue-sky brief.
- The monitor photo is landscape, so crop or outpaint it to 9:16.
- The monitor photo shows a plastic wrapper on a branch. Keep it for realism or add "no litter" for a cleaner look.
- Keep the text overlay in the safe area, clear of the app UI at the bottom of the frame.

Blue hour photography captures deep indigo and violet skies during the short twilight window just before sunrise or after sunset
- Timing: Occurs when the sun is 4 to 8 degrees below the horizon.
- Duration: Lasts about 20 to 40 minutes, depending on your latitude and the season.
- Tripod: A sturdy tripod is mandatory for sharp long exposures.
- ISO & Aperture: Keep ISO low (ISO 100) to avoid digital noise and set a sharp, medium aperture like
f/8orf/11. - Shutter Release: Use a 2-second camera timer or a remote shutter cable to eliminate camera shake.
- Cityscapes: Buildings with warm indoor or street lighting create a striking contrast against the cool blue background.
- Water & Reflections: Harbors, lakes, and rivers mirror the rich sky tones and colored lights.
- Your camera or phone model
- Your preferred subject (cityscapes, nature, or portraits)
I can share more tailored settings or composition ideas.
