Lone Airship Approaching Burning Floating City AI Image Prompt
I. First-Frame Lock (Style & Identity Lock) Use the reference image as the sole first frame, and strictly continue the original film style throughout: cinematic realistic epic fantasy / steampunk oil-painting texture imagery, 21:9 ultra-wide aspect ratio, strong contrast color tone of warm golden sunset (left) and iron-grey storm (right), thick layered sea of clouds, high-precision aged texture of metal and wood, deep shadows and restrained highlights. Must remain unchanged: the overall form of the foreground airship (wooden hull, brass boiler and portholes, bat-wing-like giant sails, multiple masts and rigging, flags, chimney emitting black smoke); the island outline of the burning floating city-state in the midground, the positions of the fire field and black smoke columns, the shapes of the spire cluster; the gothic floating city and its spires in the right background; the position logic of the silhouettes of several small flying vehicles and winged creatures in the sky; the layering and light-dark boundaries of the sea of clouds. Firelight and black smoke are existing elements of the image; keep their original brightness, position, and form logic; do not add any new effects, halos, particles, or magical light. Aspect ratio: 21:9 (2.35:1) | Duration: 10 seconds | Frame rate: 24fps cinematic | Tone: lone ship heading into fire, city-state collapsing, silent voyage before the end of the world II. Storyboard Script (4 Continuous Narrative Segments) Storyboard 1 | 0.0–2.5s [Lone Ship in the Sea of Clouds] The image starts exactly as the first frame. The airship cruises steadily above the sea of clouds; the bat-wing-like giant sails flap downward once in a very slow half-stroke, and the canvas shows realistic tension and wrinkle changes; rigging and flags flutter with high-altitude airflow; the chimney continuously emits black smoke that trails naturally toward the stern; the hull rises and falls slightly with the airflow. In the distance, the sea of clouds churns very slowly; in the midground, the black smoke column of the fire field slowly rises and expands. Camera movement: very slow dolly in, pressing closer toward the bow direction, with a very slight fuselage tremor feel. Storyboard 2 | 2.5–5.0s [Wings Sweeping Past] The camera slowly pans right along the hull; the foreground bat wings and masts sweep out of the left edge of the frame with strong parallax, gradually revealing the full burning city-state in the midground. The wing surface completes one full slow flap, and the rigging tenses accordingly; the small lit windows on the deck maintain constant brightness. In the distance, two small flying vehicles slowly move laterally along cloud gaps, and winged creature silhouettes glide slowly at high altitude. Camera movement: slow right pan + very slight low-angle upward tilt, uniform speed with no acceleration. Storyboard 3 | 5.0–7.5s [Approaching the Burning City] The camera continues moving right and transitions into forward push along the sea of clouds; when passing through the thin foreground cloud layer, it is partially obscured by cloud wisps and then reappears (natural occlusion, not a transition effect). The burning floating city-state enlarges continuously in the frame: the fire field slowly spreads along the building cluster, the black smoke column rolls upward and is pressed diagonally to the right by high-altitude wind; rubble and hanging chains at the bottom of the island sway slightly in the airflow; the gothic floating city on the right slowly reveals more spire layers through cloud and mist. Camera movement: the lateral move transitions into a slow forward push, with motion direction seamlessly continuing the same direction as the previous segment. Storyboard 4 | 7.5–10.0s [The Toppling City] The camera continues pushing forward and tilts up very slightly (tilt up); the burning city-state occupies the main body of the frame, and the fire field texture, the collapsing spire areas, and the layered dense smoke fully unfold; the foreground airship is reduced to the black silhouette of only its bow and one wingtip pressed against the lower edge of the frame, creating a scale contrast with the huge burning city; storm clouds slowly press down at the upper edge of the frame. The image steadily freezes and concludes during the push-in. Camera movement: continuous push in + tilt up until the end; the ending does not pull back, does not retreat, does not orbit. III. Unified Camera and Atmosphere Requirements The entire film uses only three types of camera movement: very slow push in, slow lateral pan, and slight upward tilt; the four segments seamlessly connect in the same direction and at the same speed, with no whip pan, no fast cuts, no zoom jumps, no orbiting. Lighting continues from the first frame throughout: warm golden sunset on the left + iron-grey storm on the right + warm fire field light; brightness, color temperature, and light-dark ratio remain constant; no firelight flicker enhancement or brightness breathing. Dynamic sources are limited to: slow flapping of bat wings, stress changes in canvas and rigging, flag fluttering, chimney black smoke trailing, natural rolling and rising of black smoke from the existing fire field, sea-of-clouds churning, slow lateral movement of small flying vehicles and winged creatures, and airflow-induced rise and fall of the hull. Do not add explosions, new fireballs, lightning, magical beams, flying dragons, fleets, rain, or snow; do not add or remove elements or cause position drift. No dialogue, no narration, no subtitles, no text elements of any kind. IV. Negative Prompt Particle effects, light effects, volumetric light, lens flare, light spots, magical beams, energy waves, newly added explosions or fireballs, firelight flicker jumps, lightning, rain or snow, slow-motion motion blur, holographic elements, any subtitles/watermarks/LOGO/speaking mouth shapes, newly added flying dragons/fleets/characters/buildings, ending pull-back, camera retreat, drone orbit, fast transitions, frame flicker, sudden color tone changes, style drift (to cartoon / to 3D plastic feel), hull structural deformation, wing surface clipping, city-state position drift, perspective collapse, over-sharpening, low resolution, blur, noise, excessive shaking, aspect ratio distortion.
Content: Structure: first-frame style lock + 4-segment storyboard + unified camera/lighting + negative prompt; covers subject, scene, composition, lens, lighting, color, texture, ratio, duration.
Pros: Detailed constraints; strong consistency in camera and lighting.
Cons: Over-locks the reference frame, low flexibility; long prompt demands high model compliance.
Reference image: Clearly depends on a reference image as the sole first frame.
