### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt for Sniper Scope Lens Flare VFX**

This dynamic prompt is structured as a modular template. You can customize each section by selecting from the provided options or by writing your own descriptions. The goal is to give the AI a rich, multi-layered set of instructions that combine technical specifics with atmospheric and thematic context.

**Prompt Structure:**

**(1. Core Subject & Composition) + (2. Lens Flare Characteristics) + (3. Sniper Scope Details) + (4. Environmental & Lighting Context) + (5. Mood & Thematic Tone) + (6. Artistic & Technical Specifications)**

—

* **Variables & Options:**
* **[Flare Intensity]:**
* `blinding, brilliant flash` (Indicates a direct, powerful light source)

* `sharp, piercing starburst` (Clean, modern look)
* `soft, blooming glow` (More atmospheric and ethereal)
* **[Flare Type]:**
* `anamorphic lens flare` (The classic cinematic horizontal streak)
* `multi-pointed starburst flare` (Typical of a high aperture)
* `circular and spherical flare` (Often seen in vintage or specific types of lenses)
* `organic, distorted flare` (Suggests a damaged or imperfect lens)
* **[Flare Color Palette]:**
* `warm golds, deep oranges, and burning yellows` (Golden hour, desert sun)
* `cold electric blues, stark whites, and cool cyans` (Moonlight, LED lights, sterile environments)
* `a full spectrum rainbow effect` (Often seen in high-quality coated optics)
* **[Flare Elements]:**
* `long horizontal streaks`
* `sharp, defined light rays`
* `a soft, hazy corona`
* `a chain of polygonal or circular “ghosts”` (Internal lens reflections)
* **[Secondary Artifacts]:**
* `strong chromatic aberration with purple and green fringing on the edges`
* `subtle barrel distortion at the edges of the lens`
* `a faint, ethereal lens bloom effect`

—

#### **3. Sniper Scope Details**

Describe the physical object itself. Its condition and model add to the story and realism.

* **Syntax:** `The scope itself is a [Scope Model & Condition]. The lens surface shows signs of [Lens Surface Condition].`
* **Variables & Options:**
* **[Scope Model & Condition]:**
* `modern, matte black Schmidt & Bender model, pristine and new`
* `classic, battle-worn Unertl scope with a brass patina and scratches on the housing`
* `futuristic, angular optic with integrated electronics`
* `improvised, rugged scope on a post-apocalyptic rifle`
* **[Lens Surface Condition]:**
* `a perfectly clean, multi-coated surface`
* `fine particles of dust and sand clinging to the glass`
* `beads of fresh rain or condensation`
* `a thin crack or chip in the corner of the lens`
* `smudges and fingerprints`

—

#### **4. Environmental & Lighting Context**

Where and when is this happening? The environment is reflected in the lens and dictates the light source creating the flare.

* **Syntax:** `The scene is set in a [Location] during [Time of Day & Lighting]. The atmosphere is [Atmospheric Conditions].`
* **Variables & Options:**
* **[Location]:**
* `desolate, sun-scorched desert dune`
* `rain-slicked urban rooftop overlooking a neon-lit city`
* `dense, humid jungle canopy`
* `snow-covered, windswept mountain ridge`
* `dark, abandoned industrial warehouse`
* **[Time of Day & Lighting]:**
* `the harsh, direct light of a midday sun`
* `the low, warm light of a golden hour sunset`
* `the cold, high-contrast light of a full moon`
* `the flickering, artificial light of a distant searchlight`
* **[Atmospheric Conditions]:**
* `thick with heat haze and shimmering air`
* `filled with falling snow and visible breath`
* `heavy with fog and mist, diffusing the light`
* `clear and crisp, with high visibility`

#### **5. Mood & Thematic Tone**

This is where you inject the “Precision Combat” niche. Guide the AI’s emotional and stylistic interpretation.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**

Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated using the dynamic structure above. This example aims for a tense, cinematic scene on a rainy urban rooftop.

**(1. Core Subject & Composition)**
Extreme close-up on the objective lens of a high-power sniper scope, revealing the subtle reflection of the surrounding environment. The composition is offset to one side, following the rule of thirds for a cinematic feel.

**(2. Lens Flare Characteristics)**
The lens is catching a brilliant, sharp starburst lens flare from a distant streetlight. The flare is dominated by a cold electric blue and stark white color palette, with sharp, defined light rays and a chain of subtle hexagonal “ghosts” cascading across the glass. Strong chromatic aberration with purple and green fringing is visible on the edges of the brightest flare elements.

**(3. Sniper Scope Details)**
The scope itself is a modern, matte black Leupold Mark 5HD model, its housing and adjustment knobs beaded with fresh, glistening raindrops. The lens surface shows these water droplets, which distort the light and reflections.

**(4. Environmental & Lighting Context)**
The scene is set on a rain-slicked urban rooftop overlooking a neon-lit city at night. The atmosphere is heavy with mist, causing the distant city lights to bloom softly in the reflection.

**(5. Mood & Thematic Tone)**
The overall mood is one of intense, nail-biting suspense, evoking a sense of the calm before the storm and professional lethality.

**(6. Artistic & Technical Specifications)**
Cinematic photorealism. Rendered in Octane Render style with physically-based rendering. Shot on Arri Alexa with a prime lens, featuring an extremely shallow depth of field focusing sharply on the raindrops and lens flare. 8K, hyper-detailed, intricate detail, professionally color-graded with a desaturated, high-contrast look. Subtle film grain.
