What they did
A long music-video prompt with three singers performing at night in a neon city, with lip-sync and high-budget MV direction.
Copy prompt
Create a 30-second ultra-realistic cinematic music video featuring three young adult singers performing an emotional modern song in a neon-lit city at night. The video should look like a high-budget professional music video with realistic humans, precise lip-sync, expressive performances, atmospheric lighting, and sophisticated cinematography.
CHARACTERS
Character 1 — Female Lead:
Young adult woman, early 20s, long black hair, expressive eyes, elegant black-and-silver outfit, confident yet emotional personality.
Character 2 — Male Lead:
Young adult man, early 20s, dark textured hair, stylish black jacket and white shirt, charismatic and emotionally expressive.
Character 3 — Female Vocalist:
Young adult woman, early 20s, shoulder-length dark hair, fashionable deep-red outfit, energetic but natural stage presence.
Keep their faces, clothing, hairstyles, body proportions, and identities perfectly consistent throughout the video.
