Your message mentions images, but none came through, so I've marked where your reference images go. Attach them in your video tool as character and location references.

VERTICAL 9:16, cinematic wildlife documentary style, 10 seconds, natural overcast tropical daylight, shallow depth of field, steady handheld feel, realistic colours.

REFERENCE IMAGES: [IMAGE 1: black spitting cobra, use for snake appearance] [IMAGE 2: Seletar Simpang Kiri River forest path and riverbank, use for location]

SETTING: A forest path of short green grass beside the Seletar Simpang Kiri River, Singapore. Lush tropical trees, calm river in the background, dappled light.

CHARACTERS:
- Grandpa David Sing: Chinese, 76, tall, broad-shouldered, bespectacled, grey hair, bright YELLOW polo shirt, black long pants, white shoes. Holds a Canon R5 with a zoom lens.
- Ya Ya: Chinese girl, 7, double pleated hair, white floral polo tee, dark black pants, white shoes. She stands on the RIVERBANK beside Grandpa, calm and curious, a safe distance behind him.

ACTION:
0-3s: Wide low-angle shot. A highly venomous black spitting cobra glides smoothly across the short grass toward Grandpa David from a distance. Glossy black scales, slow controlled movement.
3-6s: Medium shot. Grandpa slowly lowers his Canon R5 and points the zoom lens toward the cobra, keeping Ya Ya behind him on the riverbank. The cobra stops, rears upright, expands its hood and hisses loudly in a defensive posture.
6-10s: Close-up on Grandpa, calm and serious, speaking to Ya Ya, then a cut back to the cobra with its hood flared. Grandpa says, in a calm, firm voice:
"Spitting Cobra. Stay more than 3 metres away. Do not provoke or corner it!"

CAMERA: Start with a low-angle wide shot on the grass, then a slow push-in, a medium two-shot over Grandpa's shoulder, and a tight close-up of the flared hood. Sharp focus on the snake, soft forest bokeh.

AUDIO: River ambience, birds and insects, a low loud hiss, Grandpa's calm voice. No music.

TEXT OVERLAY (bottom third, white bold sans-serif with subtle shadow, safe-zone margins, fades in at 6s and holds to the end):
"Ya Ya, This black spitting cobra can spit venom accurately up to 2.4 metres towards a target's eye. Stay more than 3 m away. Do not provoke it."

STYLE: Educational wildlife safety tone, realistic, tense but calm. No gore, no attack, no bite. The snake never reaches or touches anyone, and the people never approach it.

NEGATIVE: no cartoon look, no extra people, no camera brand distortion, no garbled text, no snake touching or striking anyone, no changed clothing colours.

A few notes:

  • Species: Black spitting cobras (Naja nigricollis) are African. Singapore's native spitting cobra is the Equatorial spitting cobra (Naja sumatrana), which is also black and lives in the Seletar area. If accuracy matters for an educational video, consider using that name.
  • Overlay text: Overlays are often garbled by video generators. If it comes out wrong, add the text in an editor afterwards.
  • Length: If you want more than 10 seconds, I can split this into two or three separate clips.

VIDEO PROMPT — RED DRAGONFLY: MALE COMMON PARASOL

Vertical 9:16 | Photorealistic wildlife documentary | Singapore | 24 September 2026 | 10:48 AM

SCENE SETTING

A peaceful, lush river-bank/pond area at the Botanic Garden beside Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Singapore, matching the uploaded river-bank reference image. Dense tropical vegetation, tall grasses and reeds along the water, calm pond surface with soft reflections, gentle morning sunlight, and a quiet natural atmosphere.

Use the uploaded male Common Parasol dragonfly photograph as the exact visual reference for the dragonfly's coloration, wing markings, body shape and proportions.

MAIN WILDLIFE ACTION

A male Common Parasol dragonfly (Neurothemis fluctuans) is perched delicately on the tip of a tall green grass blade beside the pond.

The dragonfly has:

  • A vibrant reddish-brown to deep-red body
  • Deep red patches extending over the bases of all four wings
  • Distinctive clear, transparent wing tips
  • Delicate transparent wing venation
  • Realistic compound eyes and fine insect anatomy

The camera begins with an extreme macro close-up of the dragonfly resting motionless on the grass tip.

A gentle breeze causes the grass blade to sway slightly.

Suddenly, the dragonfly launches upward from the grass blade, its four wings beating rapidly and realistically. It rises a short distance into the air and briefly hovers.

The camera smoothly follows the dragonfly.

After a moment, it flies back and lands precisely on the SAME TIP of the SAME GRASS BLADE, settling into its original position.

Hold the shot long enough to clearly show that it has returned to its territorial perch.

GRANDPA DAVID AND YA YA

Cut naturally to Grandpa David Sing, a tall Chinese grandfather, 76 years old, grey hair, bespectacled, wearing a white polo shirt, dark blue long pants and white shoes, carrying a Canon R5 camera with a telephoto zoom lens.

He is beside his granddaughter Ya Ya, 7 years old, Chinese, with double-pleated hair, wearing a white floral blouse, dark black pants and white shoes.

They are standing quietly beside the pond, engaged in wildlife photography.

Grandpa points gently toward the grass blade without disturbing the dragonfly. Ya Ya looks carefully through the camera's direction and watches the dragonfly return to its perch.

DIALOGUE

Grandpa David, softly and naturally:

“Ya Ya, look! The male Common Parasol dragonfly is red, unlike the dull yellow female.”

Ya Ya watches excitedly but quietly, maintaining a respectful distance from the wildlife.

EDUCATIONAL TEXT OVERLAY

6880. Ideal weight of the red-eared slider

 

Pet turtles are fun and unique companions. Some turtles kept as pets are red-eared sliders, painted, and map turtles.

Turtles have a relatively long lifetime compared to a cat or dog, and it’s important to keep your turtle’s care at the highest level possible so they can reach such an advanced age. Here are some common mistakes turtle parents make—and how to properly care for them instead.

1. Providing an Enclosure That’s Too Small

Pet turtles often end up in habitats that are too small for their needs. One adult turtle needs a minimum of a 50-gallon tank to have enough room to swim and get out of the water. If you have more than one turtle, you’ll need a larger tank.

Most of your turtle's enclosure should be filled with water, allowing them to swim at least four to five times their body length across and twice their length deep. Pet turtles also need land to exit the water so they can rest and bask in their UV light.

2. Using Incorrect Lighting

Pet turtles require a heat lamp to help regulate their temperature. Different species require different temperatures, but on average, turtles prefer 82–86 degrees F during the day and 74–80 F at night.

To ensure the temperature in your turtle's enclosure doesn't drop too low, you may also need to use an infrared heat lamp at night. Infrared bulbs provide heat with a minimal level of visible light. Heating rocks and pads should not be used, as these can cause thermal burns. 

In addition to lighting for heat support, turtles also need lights that produce UV rays. Sunlight from windows is not a sufficient source of UV rays. Your pet turtle needs multiple types of UV rays:

  • UVA rays help mimic the sun’s natural behavior. They can help regulate your turtle’s natural behaviors.

  • UVB rays help a turtle absorb calcium and vitamin D3. Turtles need 8–10 hours of UVB ray exposure a day.

 

4. Overfeeding Your Turtle

Pet turtles are commonly overfed, leading to health issues. Most turtles are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and meat, and they can become overweight if their diet consists of too much animal protein.

Follow these tips to keep your turtle’s diet on track:

  • Half of your turtle’s diet should be fresh, dark, leafy greens such as collards, dandelions, and kale. Animal protein should not exceed 25% of your turtle’s diet.

  • Live feeder fish are a source of nutrition for turtles and can help stimulate your turtle’s natural behaviors.

  • Turtles can also eat insects such as mealworms and waxworms.

  • A high-quality commercial feed should make up the rest of your turtle’s diet.

  • Adult turtles should have a calcium supplement added to their diet once or twice a week. Calcium is essential for healthy bones (and shells!).

 ----------------

An adult red-eared slider typically weighs between 8.5 ounces and 4+ pounds (0.3 to 2+ kg), depending heavily on the sex and overall size of the turtle. [1, 2, 3]
Weight by Sex
  • Adult Males: Smaller in size, typically staying around 8 ounces to 1.5 pounds (0.3 to 0.7 kg) with a shell length of 5 to 9 inches.
  • Adult Females: Significantly larger, frequently weighing between 2 and 4+ pounds (1.0 to 2+ kg), and can occasionally reach up to 7 pounds with a shell length of 10 to 12 inches. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Factors Affecting Weight
  • Sexual Dimorphism: Females grow larger and heavier than males to accommodate egg-laying.
  • Diet and Husbandry: Captive turtles fed excessive protein or overfed commercial pellets can become overweight or obese, while proper balanced diets combined with adequate tank space (using the standard rule of 10 gallons per inch of shell length) promote healthy growth.
  • Age and Genetics: Growth rates vary during their first 18 to 24 months, after which they reach full adult dimensions. [1, 2, 3, 4]
If you'd like, let me know:
  • Your red-eared slider's shell length (carapace size)
  • Whether it is male or female
    I can help you determine if its current weight falls into a healthy range.
