### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt for Google Veo: The “Cinematic Naturalist” Template**
This dynamic prompt is structured as a modular “script” for the AI. It breaks down the desired video into its core components, allowing for easy modification of variables to generate a wide variety of scenes while maintaining a consistent, high-quality, artistic, and cinematic style. Each section is designed to provide Google Veo with specific, unambiguous instructions, leveraging best practices in prompt engineering.
—
#### **I. Core Concept & Metadata**
This section sets the overall theme and provides high-level context.
* **`[PROMPT_ID]`**: A unique identifier for your shot list (e.g., `BRF_JAGUAR_001`).
* **`[SCENE_TITLE]`**: A short, descriptive title for the scene (e.g., “Jaguar at Dawn’s Edge”).
* **`[OVERALL_NARRATIVE]`**: A one-sentence summary of the shot’s purpose. This acts as a guiding principle for the AI.
* *Example: “An intimate and majestic portrait of a [Animal] in its natural habitat, showcasing a specific [Behavior] with artistic flair.”*
#### **II. The Subject: Detail & Realism**
This section defines the star of the video with biological and aesthetic precision.
* **`[PRIMARY_SUBJECT]`**:
* **Species**: Use the common name and scientific name for accuracy. `[Animal_Common_Name] ([Animal_Scientific_Name])`.
* **Appearance Details**: Describe age, gender (if relevant), and specific physical traits. Be highly descriptive. `[e.g., An adult male with a powerful build, a coat of deep golden-orange fur covered in prominent black rosette patterns, intense amber eyes, slight wetness on its whiskers from the morning dew]`.
* **Number**: `[Number_of_Subjects]` (e.g., 1, a pair, a family troop).
* **`[SECONDARY_SUBJECTS]`**: (Optional)
* **Species & Role**: Describe other animals or significant elements in the scene. `[e.g., A Blue Morpho butterfly (Morpho peleides) flutters past in the background, its iridescent wings catching the light]`.
#### **III. The Environment: A Living World**
This section builds the world around the subject, focusing on sensory details and authenticity.
* **`[LOCATION]`**: Be specific about the ecosystem. `[e.g., The dense, humid undergrowth of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest floor, near the banks of the Rio Negro]`.
* **`[FLORA]`**: Name specific plants to guide the visual generation. `[e.g., Surrounded by enormous philodendron leaves, thick liana vines snaking around kapok trees, and vibrant bromeliads clinging to branches]`.
* **`[ATMOSPHERE]`**: Describe the weather, air quality, and overall feeling. `[e.g., Heavy morning mist hangs low in the air, creating a soft, ethereal atmosphere. The air is visibly thick with humidity. Water drips slowly from large leaves]`.
#### **IV. The Action: Narrative & Behavior**
This is the “verb” of your prompt. Describe the sequence of events clearly and concisely.
* **`[ACTION_SEQUENCE]`**:
* **Opening Action**: `[The subject’s initial action, e.g., The jaguar pads silently and slowly across a moss-covered fallen log.]`
* **Core Action**: `[The main event of the scene, e.g., It stops, turns its head directly towards the camera, and lets out a silent, breathy yawn, revealing its formidable canines.]`
* **Subtle Details**: `[Micro-expressions and subtle movements that add realism, e.g., Its ears twitch, reacting to a distant sound. Its tail sways once, almost imperceptibly.]`
#### **V. Cinematography: The Director’s Eye**
This is the most critical section for Veo. Use precise filmmaking terminology to control the camera and visuals.
* **`[SHOT_TYPE]`**: `[e.g., Medium close-up, Wide shot, Extreme close-up, Over-the-shoulder shot]`.
* **`[CAMERA_MOVEMENT]`**: `[e.g., Slow, smooth dolly push-in; Gentle arc shot from left to right; Static tripod shot; Slow vertical crane shot revealing the subject]`.
* **`[LENS_&_FOCUS]`**:
* **Lens**: `[e.g., Telephoto lens, Macro lens, Wide-angle lens]`.
* **Focus**: `[e.g., Extremely shallow depth of field (f/1.4), with focus locked on the subject’s eyes, rendering the foreground and background as a soft, creamy bokeh. A slow rack focus from a foreground leaf to the subject’s face.]`
* **`[FRAME_RATE]`**: `[e.g., Shot at 90fps for subtle slow-motion effect, emphasizing grace and power. Standard 24fps for a classic cinematic feel.]`
#### **VI. Lighting & Color: Mood & Tone**
Define the light and color palette to create the desired artistic mood.
* **`[TIME_OF_DAY]`**: `[e.g., Dawn, Golden Hour, Midday, Twilight, Deep Night (moonlit)]`.
* **`[LIGHT_QUALITY]`**: `[e.g., Soft, diffused light filtering through the dense canopy; Dramatic, high-contrast shafts of light (god rays) piercing the mist; Low-key lighting with deep shadows]`.
* **`[COLOR_PALETTE]`**: `[e.g., A palette of deep, saturated greens, earthy browns, and the vibrant gold of the subject’s fur. Cool, moody blues and blacks for a nocturnal scene. High dynamic range (HDR) with rich, vibrant colors.]`
#### **VII. Artistic Style & Quality**
This section sets the overall aesthetic and references well-known styles.
* **`[DOCUMENTARY_STYLE]`**: `[e.g., In the cinematic, high-production-value style of a BBC Nature documentary like ‘Planet Earth II’ or ‘Our Planet’. David Attenborough style.]`
* **`[OVERALL_MOOD]`**: `[e.g., Majestic, serene, tense, mysterious, intimate, awe-inspiring]`.
* **`[VISUAL_QUALITY]`**: `[e.g., Hyper-realistic, photorealistic, 8K resolution, sharp details, no digital artifacts, slight cinematic grain, professional color grading]`.
#### **VIII. Negative Prompts: What to Avoid**
Use this to refine the output by explicitly stating what you *don’t* want.
* **`[AVOID]`**: `[e.g., No humans, no man-made objects, no cages or enclosures, not animated or cartoonish, no jarring or shaky camera movements, avoid anthropomorphism, no text or watermarks, avoid flat lighting, no oversaturation]`.

### **Example Prompt in Practice: “The Glasswing’s Ephemeral Dance”**
This example uses the “Cinematic Naturalist” template to generate a specific, artistic video clip.
#### **I. Core Concept & Metadata**
* **`[PROMPT_ID]`**: `BRF_GWBF_001`
* **`[SCENE_TITLE]`**: “The Glasswing’s Ephemeral Dance”
* **`[OVERALL_NARRATIVE]`**: “An ethereal, macro-level video showcasing the delicate beauty of a Glasswing butterfly resting on a dew-covered orchid, emphasizing its transparency and the magic of the rainforest.”
#### **II. The Subject: Detail & Realism**
* **`[PRIMARY_SUBJECT]`**:
* **Species**: Glasswing butterfly (Greta oto).
* **Appearance Details**: Perfectly translucent wings, appearing as if made of delicate glass, outlined with a thin, dark brown border. Its body is dark, and its antennae are visible. The wings are catching and refracting the soft light in a subtle, rainbow-like manner.
* **Number**: 1.
* **`[SECONDARY_SUBJECTS]`**:
* **Species & Role**: A vibrant, purple and white Cattleya orchid flower, covered in tiny, sparkling droplets of morning dew.
#### **III. The Environment: A Living World**
* **`[LOCATION]`**: The heart of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, in a moisture-rich microclimate.
* **`[FLORA]`**: The butterfly rests on the petal of the orchid, which is the primary focus. In the heavily blurred background, giant, waxy green leaves and dark, mossy tree bark are visible.
* **`[ATMOSPHERE]`**: Post-rain tranquility. The air is saturated with moisture, and a very light, gentle fog drifts in the far background, creating a dreamlike quality.
#### **IV. The Action: Narrative & Behavior**
* **`[ACTION_SEQUENCE]`**:
* **Opening Action**: The butterfly is perfectly still on the orchid petal.
* **Core Action**: It slowly and delicately flexes its transparent wings open and then closed, a single, graceful movement. The motion is so gentle it barely disturbs the dewdrop next to it.
* **Subtle Details**: As the wings move, the light refracts through them differently, creating a faint, shimmering effect. A single dewdrop on the petal quivers slightly.
#### **V. Cinematography: The Director’s Eye**
* **`[SHOT_TYPE]`**: Extreme close-up (macro shot).
* **`[CAMERA_MOVEMENT]`**: A very slow, almost imperceptible dolly zoom, moving slightly closer to the butterfly over the course of the 5-second clip.
* **`[LENS_&_FOCUS]`**:
* **Lens**: Macro lens.
* **Focus**: Razor-sharp focus on the intricate veins of the butterfly’s transparent wings and the dewdrop beside it. The depth of field is exceptionally shallow (f/1.2), making the background a completely abstract wash of green and purple colors (bokeh).
* **`[FRAME_RATE]`**: Shot at 120fps for an ultra-smooth, slow-motion playback that highlights the grace of the wing movement.
#### **VI. Lighting & Color: Mood & Tone**
* **`[TIME_OF_DAY]`**: Early morning, just after sunrise.
* **`[LIGHT_QUALITY]`**: Very soft, heavily diffused light filtering through the canopy. There are no harsh shadows. Gentle highlights sparkle on the dewdrops. The overall lighting is low-key but luminous.
* **`[COLOR_PALETTE]`**: Dominated by the rich purple and white of the orchid and the deep greens of the background bokeh. The transparent wings of the butterfly act as a lens, picking up subtle chromatic aberrations. High dynamic range (HDR) to capture the details in both the bright dewdrops and the darker parts of the scene.
#### **VII. Artistic Style & Quality**
* **`[DOCUMENTARY_STYLE]`**: In the style of a high-end, artistic nature film like “Fantastic Fungi” or the macro sequences in “Green Planet,” focusing on pure visual poetry.
* **`[OVERALL_MOOD]`**: Magical, serene, delicate, ephemeral, wondrous.
* **`[VISUAL_QUALITY]`**: Hyper-realistic, 8K resolution, cinematic quality. The textures of the orchid petal and the butterfly’s body should be exquisitely detailed.
#### **VIII. Negative Prompts: What to Avoid**
* **`[AVOID]`**: Any other insects, wind, shaky camera, deep focus, bright or harsh sunlight, dull colors, digital artifacts, animated appearance. Do not show the butterfly flying away; the scene is about stillness and subtle motion. No man-made elements.
