image to video prompt examples
What matters
- Good examples preserve the reference image before asking for motion.
- Before prompts are usually too vague; after prompts add subject locks, camera path, and artifact control.
- The same image can produce different variants for product, social, cinematic, or UGC use.
Ramen table shot
Before and after prompt
Before
Make the ramen look delicious and moving.
After
Use the ramen photo as the first frame. Preserve the bowl shape, broth color, toppings, counter edge, and neon reflections. Create an 8s 9:16 macro food shot where steam rises and chopsticks lift noodles slowly from the bowl. Keep noodles realistic and the bowl stable. Negative prompt: melting noodles, warped bowl, fake text, background warping, camera jitter.
Why it works
- It keeps food texture realistic.
- The motion is appetizing but controlled.
- It protects both object shape and background.
