#### **I. Core Prompt Structure: The Template**
**(A) Primary Directive: The Core Transition**
`VFX sequence of a cinematic scene transition. The transition effect is a violent, energetic fire fade. Scene A, [Brief Description of Scene A], is completely consumed and obliterated by [Type of Fire]. The flames act as a wipe, burning across the screen to reveal Scene B, [Brief Description of Scene B].`
**(B) Fire Origin and Dynamics: The “How”**
`The fire originates from [Origin Point and Catalyst – e.g., an off-screen explosion, a dragon’s breath from the right, a magical sigil glowing on the ground, a crashing vehicle]. It moves with [Specific Behavior – e.g., an explosive radial burst from the center, a horizontal wipe from left-to-right, a swirling vortex, tendrils that lick inwards from the edges of the frame]. The fire’s energy should feel [Energy Adjective – e.g., cataclysmic, furious, supernatural, chemical, incendiary].`
**(C) Flame Visual Characteristics: The “Look and Feel”**
`The flames themselves are [Flame Texture – e.g., dense and pyroclastic, ethereal and ghostly, liquid-like napalm, digitally glitched]. The core of the fire is an incandescent [Primary Flame Color – e.g., white-hot, brilliant orange, hellish crimson, unnatural blue], with outer edges of [Secondary Flame Color – e.g., deep red and yellow, toxic green]. There is a heavy presence of [Secondary Effect 1 – e.g., thick, billowing black smoke] and a shower of [Secondary Effect 2 – e.g., glowing embers and white-hot sparks]. The heat is palpable, creating intense [Atmospheric Distortion – e.g., heat haze, lens shimmer, atmospheric refraction] that warps Scene A before it is fully consumed.`
**(D) Scene A Details: The “From” Scene**
* **Setting & Subject:** `Scene A is set in a [Location of Scene A – e.g., war-torn city street, futuristic sci-fi laboratory, ancient fantasy battlefield]. The key subject is [Subject of Scene A – e.g., a lone soldier taking cover, a scientist scrambling at a console, a knight raising a sword].`
* **Mood & Lighting:** `The lighting is [Lighting of Scene A – e.g., harsh midday sun, flickering emergency lights, overcast and grim, pale moonlight]. The overall mood is [Mood of Scene A – e.g., tense and desperate, chaotic, suspenseful].`
* **Interaction with Fire:** `As the fire consumes Scene A, the environment should react realistically: [Environmental Reaction – e.g., concrete cracking and glowing red, metal warping and melting, wood charring and turning to ash].`
**(E) Scene B Details: The “To” Scene**
* **Setting & Subject:** `Scene B is revealed through the dissipating flames. It is a [Location of Scene B – e.g., sterile military command center, a tranquil memory in a green field, the villain’s throne room]. The key subject is [Subject of Scene B – e.g., a general watching a holographic map, a child laughing in slow motion, the main antagonist smirking].`
* **Mood & Lighting:** `The lighting is [Lighting of Scene B – e.g., cool, blue-toned artificial light, warm golden hour sunlight, ominous red backlighting]. The mood creates a stark contrast, feeling [Mood of Scene B – e.g., controlled and strategic, peaceful and nostalgic, powerful and intimidating].`
**(F) Cinematic & Technical Specifications: The “Style”**
`This should be rendered in a photorealistic, hyper-detailed style, as if a still from a major Hollywood blockbuster. The shot composition is a [Camera Shot Type – e.g., medium close-up, dynamic wide shot, over-the-shoulder shot]. The virtual camera uses an [Lens Type – e.g., anamorphic lens, creating cinematic lens flares] with a [Shutter Speed Effect – e.g., high shutter speed for crisp, sharp detail in the fire and debris]. Focus is sharp on [Focal Point – e.g., the leading edge of the fire, the expression on the character in Scene A]. Rendered using a high-end engine like Unreal Engine 5 or Octane Render for ultimate realism. Keywords: cinematic, VFX, special effects, flame FX, action scene, high detail, 8K, intricate detail, motion blur on fast-moving embers.`

### **II. Example Prompt: “Explosive Battlefield Transition”**
Here is a practical example of the template filled out for a specific scenario: transitioning from a soldier in a firefight to the antagonist watching the chaos unfold.
**(A) Primary Directive: The Core Transition**
`VFX sequence of a cinematic scene transition. The transition effect is a violent, energetic fire fade. Scene A, a soldier pinned down in a ruined urban street, is completely consumed and obliterated by a massive gasoline explosion. The flames act as a wipe, burning across the screen to reveal Scene B, a calm, high-tech monitoring room.`
**(B) Fire Origin and Dynamics: The “How”**
`The fire originates from a rocket-propelled grenade impact just off-screen to the left. It moves with an explosive radial burst from the center-left of the frame, rapidly expanding to engulf everything. The fire’s energy should feel cataclysmic and incendiary.`
**(C) Flame Visual Characteristics: The “Look and Feel”**
`The flames themselves are dense and pyroclastic, filled with dark, sooty smoke and projectile debris. The core of the fire is an incandescent white-hot yellow, with outer edges of brilliant orange and churning black smoke. There is a heavy presence of thick, billowing black smoke clouds and a shower of glowing red embers and white-hot sparks from burning materials. The heat is palpable, creating intense heat haze and atmospheric refraction that warps the image of the soldier and the crumbling buildings before they are fully consumed.`
**(D) Scene A Details: The “From” Scene**
* **Setting & Subject:** `Scene A is set in a war-torn city street in Eastern Europe, with Cyrillic signs on damaged storefronts and rubble everywhere. The key subject is a lone special forces soldier in tactical gear, ducking behind a shattered concrete barricade, his face grim with determination.`
* **Mood & Lighting:** `The lighting is overcast and grim, with desaturated colors adding to the gritty realism. The overall mood is tense and desperate.`
* **Interaction with Fire:** `As the fire consumes Scene A, the concrete barricade cracks and glows red-hot, rebar melts and warps, and the soldier’s silhouette is visible for a final, fleeting moment within the inferno before disintegrating into ash.`
**(E) Scene B Details: The “To” Scene**
* **Setting & Subject:** `Scene B is revealed through the dissipating flames. It is a sterile, minimalist military command center with large, glowing holographic displays showing battlefield data. The key subject is the main antagonist, a man in a sharp suit, standing with his back to the camera, observing the tactical map where a red icon blinks over the soldier’s last known position.`
* **Mood & Lighting:** `The lighting is cool, blue-toned artificial light emanating from the holographic screens, casting long shadows. The mood creates a stark contrast, feeling controlled, strategic, and chillingly detached.`
**(F) Cinematic & Technical Specifications: The “Style”**
`This should be rendered in a photorealistic, hyper-detailed style, as if a still from a Michael Bay or Christopher Nolan film. The shot composition is a medium close-up on the soldier in Scene A, transitioning to a wide shot of the command center in Scene B. The virtual camera uses an anamorphic lens, creating cinematic lens flares as the fire erupts. A high shutter speed is used for crisp, sharp detail in the fire and flying debris. Focus is sharp on the soldier’s face right before the flames hit. Rendered using a high-end engine like Unreal Engine 5 or Octane Render for ultimate realism. Keywords: cinematic, VFX, special effects, flame FX, action scene, high detail, 8K, intricate detail, motion blur on fast-moving embers, gritty realism, photorealism.`
