### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt Structure: The “Cozy Embers” Framework**
This framework is designed as a modular, dynamic prompt. You can select and combine elements from each category to create a highly specific and evocative final prompt. The goal is to guide the AI with layers of detail, moving from the broad concept to the minute, sensory details that create the ASMR effect.
#### **Core Philosophy**
The prompt focuses on *visual ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response)*. This means we are not just describing a scene, but describing the *satisfying and calming motion and texture* within that scene. We prioritize elements like soft focus, gentle movement, warm light, and intricate detail that are visually relaxing and mesmerizing to watch.

### **Component Breakdown & Dynamic Variables**
**1. Core Subject & Action (The Heart of the Prompt)**
This section establishes the main event. It should be descriptive and motion-oriented.
* **Description:** A mesmerizing and tranquil visual of a campfire. The focus is on the gentle, hypnotic dance of the flames, the soft pulse of glowing embers, and the ethereal, slow drift of smoke.
* **Keywords:** `Crackling campfire`, `glowing embers`, `dancing flames`, `hypnotic fire`, `billowing smoke`, `wisps of smoke drifting`, `slow-motion sparks`, `pulsing orange glow`.
**[[Choose one primary focus]]**:
* A close-up on the deep orange, glowing embers pulsing with gentle warmth.
* The elegant, slow-motion dance of tall, soft flames licking the air.
* The translucent, milky wisps of smoke swirling and drifting upwards against a dark background.
* A shower of tiny, bright sparks floating upwards like fireflies into the night.
**2. Setting & Environment (The Stage)**
This grounds the scene in the “Outdoor” niche and defines the context for the “Cozy” vibe.
* **Description:** The location where the campfire is situated. The environment should complement the feeling of tranquility and seclusion.
* **Keywords:** `secluded`, `peaceful`, `untouched`, `sheltered`.
**[[Choose a setting]]**:
* **Forest:** In a dense, ancient pine forest, surrounded by tall, silent trees. On a bed of soft pine needles and fallen leaves.
* **Lakeside/Riverside:** On the quiet, pebbled shore of a calm, glassy lake, with gentle ripples reflecting the firelight.
* **Snowy Clearing:** In a serene, snow-covered clearing during a gentle snowfall, with snowflakes sparkling as they pass through the fire’s glow.
* **Mountain Meadow:** In a high-altitude meadow under a vast, starry sky, surrounded by the dark silhouettes of distant mountains.
* **Cozy Campsite:** A well-established campsite with a canvas tent, a rustic wooden log to sit on, and a flannel blanket nearby.
**3. Atmosphere & Mood (The Feeling)**
This is the most critical component for achieving “Cozy Calm Vibes.” Use powerful, emotive adjectives to instruct the AI on the desired feeling.
* **Description:** The emotional tone of the scene. This goes beyond a simple description and dictates the overall artistic direction.
* **Keywords:** `Cozy`, `calm`, `serene`, `tranquil`, `peaceful`, `intimate`, `nostalgic`, `magical`, `ethereal`, `hygge`, `meditative`, `soothing`.
**[[Combine 2-3 atmospheric keywords]]**:
* `serene, intimate, and magical`
* `deeply tranquil, cozy, and nostalgic`
* `peaceful, meditative, and soothing`
**4. Lighting & Color Palette**
Light is the primary tool for creating mood. Be extremely specific about the quality of light and the dominant colors.
* **Description:** The time of day and the nature of the light sources. The color palette should be harmonious and calming.
* **Keywords:** `warm glow`, `soft illumination`, `dramatic contrast`, `ambient light`, `deep shadows`.
**[[Choose a lighting scheme]]**:
* **Twilight/Dusk:** The deep, saturated blues and soft purples of twilight, with the fire being the dominant, warm orange light source.
* **Deep Night:** Inky blacks and deep navy blues of a moonless night, creating a stark, dramatic contrast with the fire’s brilliant orange, red, and yellow light.
* **Misty Morning:** The soft, diffused grey-blue light of a foggy dawn, with the campfire’s glow cutting through the mist.
**[[Specify the color palette]]**:
* A palette of warm oranges, deep reds, charcoal blacks, and muted earth tones.
* A palette of fiery amber, deep indigo, and cool silver-greys (for a snowy scene).
**5. Camera & Composition (The Viewpoint)**
This section directs the AI on how to frame the shot, which is crucial for both image and video generation. It controls the viewer’s perspective and focus.
* **Description:** The virtual camera’s position, lens, and movement. This enhances the intimate and immersive quality.
* **Keywords:** `cinematic`, `macro`, `close-up`, `wide shot`, `shallow depth of field`, `bokeh`, `rack focus`.
**[[Choose a composition style]]**:
* **Macro Close-Up:** An extreme close-up on the crackling wood and pulsing embers, with the background completely blurred into a soft bokeh.
* **Intimate Medium Shot:** A shot focused on the fire pit, with a nearby element like a steaming mug or a pair of boots slightly in frame to imply presence.
* **Static Wide Shot:** A cinematic wide shot capturing the entire serene scene—the small fire illuminating a vast, peaceful landscape.
* **Slow, Gentle Pan/Dolly (for video):** A very slow, smooth camera movement, such as a pan across the fire or a gentle dolly-in towards the embers, enhancing the meditative feel.
**6. Key Visual Details & Textures (The ASMR Triggers)**
These are the tiny, specific details that elevate the prompt from good to great. They provide the sensory hooks for a visual ASMR experience.
* **Description:** The small, satisfying details that catch the eye and create a sense of realism and texture.
* **Keywords:** `glowing veins in charcoal`, `translucent smoke`, `heat haze`, `flickering shadows`, `dewdrops on leaves`, `individual snowflakes`, `texture of bark`.
**[[Add 2-3 specific details]]**:
* The subtle heat haze shimmering in the air directly above the flames.
* Individual sparks tracing bright, fading lines as they float up into the darkness.
* The way the firelight catches the intricate texture of a nearby log’s bark.
* The mesmerizing pattern of light and shadow flickering on the surrounding ground or trees.
* Steam gently rising from a warm ceramic mug placed near the fire.
**7. Style & Medium**
This defines the final aesthetic of the output.
* **Description:** The artistic style or medium the AI should emulate.
* **Keywords:** `Photorealistic`, `hyperrealistic`, `cinematic 8K render`, `Unreal Engine 5`, `soft focus photography`, `DSLR photography`, `National Geographic style photo`.
**[[Choose one dominant style]]**:
* `Hyperrealistic, cinematic, shot on a Sony A7S III with a 50mm f/1.2 lens` (Very specific, great for photo-realism)
* `Cinematic 4K video, ultra-realistic, soft focus` (Great for video)
* `Ethereal and dreamy digital art` (For a more stylized, magical feel)

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete prompt generated by following the “Cozy Embers” framework.
**(Niche: Outdoor | Purpose: Cozy Calm Vibes | Type: Dynamic -> Assembled)**
**Prompt:**
“**Cinematic 4K video, hyperrealistic, intimate medium shot of a crackling campfire in a serene, snow-covered forest clearing at deep night. The atmosphere is deeply tranquil, cozy, and magical. The primary focus is on the mesmerizing, slow-motion drift of translucent smoke and the gentle pulse of deep orange embers.**
**The lighting is dominated by the fire’s warm, vibrant glow, creating a stark and beautiful contrast against the inky blacks and deep navy blues of the night and the pristine white snow. The color palette is rich with fiery amber, charcoal black, and cool silver-greys.**
**Compositionally, the shot utilizes a shallow depth of field, causing the distant, snow-laden pine trees to blur into a soft, beautiful bokeh. Key visual ASMR details include individual snowflakes sparkling as they gently fall through the firelight, the subtle, shimmering heat haze above the flames, and the intricate texture of the fire-charred logs. The entire scene should feel peaceful, meditative, and incredibly soothing, captured with a static, stable camera to enhance the hypnotic effect.
