### Optimized AI Prompt for Google Veo
**`[PROMPT TYPE]`**
Dynamic
**`[PLATFORM]`**
Google Veo
**`[VIDEO FORMAT]`**
Vertical 9:16 Aspect Ratio (Reel), 15-20 seconds duration.
**`[OVERALL SCENE DESCRIPTION]`**
A visually stunning and emotionally resonant short video reel capturing the magic of a family celebrating Diwali with fireworks at night. The reel should progress from an intimate, personal moment to a grand, spectacular finale, emphasizing feelings of joy, togetherness, and wonder. The aesthetic is cinematic, warm, and vibrant, focusing on the interplay of light from the fireworks and traditional ‘diyas’ against the dark night sky.
**`[VISUAL STYLE & AESTHETICS]`**
* **Overall Mood:** Joyful, magical, warm, festive, and heartfelt.
* **Cinematography:** Cinematic and professional. Utilize a shallow depth of field to create beautiful bokeh from background lights. The camera work should be smooth and deliberate, not shaky or amateur.
* **Lighting:** High-contrast, dramatic lighting. The primary light sources are the brilliant, multi-colored flashes from the fireworks and the soft, warm, golden glow from dozens of clay ‘diyas’ (earthen lamps) arranged around the scene. This should create a chiaroscuro effect, with deep shadows and brilliantly illuminated subjects. Incorporate natural lens flares from the brightest sparks.
* **Color Palette:** Deep indigo and black for the night sky, contrasted with explosive bursts of vibrant gold, emerald green, ruby red, and sapphire blue from the fireworks. The ambient light from the diyas should cast a warm, golden-orange hue on the characters and their immediate surroundings.
* **Texture & Detail:** Hyper-realistic rendering. Capture the intricate trails of smoke left by the fireworks, the glittering texture of individual sparks as they fall, the subtle flicker of the diya flames, and the detailed embroidery on the traditional clothing.
**`[KEY SUBJECTS & CHARACTERS]`**
* **A South Asian family of three:**
* **Child (female, age 6-8):** Dressed in a bright, festive ‘lehenga’. Her expressions are central to the video, transitioning from focused concentration to pure, unadulterated awe and joy.
* **Mother (age 30s):** Wearing an elegant, deep-red silk saree with gold embroidery. She exudes warmth and grace, smiling as she watches her child.
* **Father (age 30s):** Dressed in a classic cream-colored ‘kurta’. He appears protective and happy, guiding the child safely.
* The family’s interactions should feel authentic and loving.
**`[SETTING & ENVIRONMENT]`**
The rooftop terrace of a modern home in an Indian city at night. The background should show a soft-focus city skyline with other distant lights and the occasional burst of fireworks from other celebrations, adding to the atmosphere. The terrace floor is decorated with a beautiful, intricate ‘rangoli’ pattern made of colored powders near the entrance. Dozens of lit clay diyas are placed along the terrace ledge, providing a warm, grounding light.
**`[SEQUENTIAL SHOT-BY-SHOT BREAKDOWN]`**
This sequence should flow seamlessly from one shot to the next.
* **Shot 1: The Spark of Wonder (Duration: 4 seconds)**
* **Action:** The reel opens with a tight, medium close-up shot of the young girl holding a golden sparkler. Her face is illuminated by its warm, crackling light, and her eyes are wide with fascination. She carefully draws a circle in the air with the sparkler. In the background, her father’s hand is gently resting on her shoulder for safety, slightly out of focus.
* **Camera:** The camera is steady, focused sharply on the child’s face and the sparkler. The background is soft and filled with bokeh from the diyas.
* **FX:** Render this in slight slow-motion (90fps) to emphasize the glittering trail of the sparks.
* **Shot 2: The Eruption of Joy (Duration: 5 seconds)**
* **Action:** The shot transitions to a medium shot. The father now lights a ‘flower pot’ (anar) firework on the ground. It erupts in a fountain of silver and gold sparks, rising high into the air. The child jumps back slightly with a gasp of excitement, then breaks into a wide, joyous laugh, clapping her hands. The mother, standing beside her, smiles warmly at her daughter’s reaction.
* **Camera:** The camera tilts up smoothly, following the fountain of sparks as it reaches its peak height, then tilts back down to capture the family’s joyful reactions.
* **Shot 3: The Grand Sky Canvas (Duration: 6 seconds)**
* **Action:** A seamless transition to a wide shot of the family, now standing together near the terrace ledge, looking up at the sky. A multi-shot firework ‘cake’ launches a series of spectacular aerial bursts. The sky explodes in a sequence of vibrant colors: a large peony burst of deep red, followed by a glittering green chrysanthemum, and finally a crackling gold willow effect that hangs in the air.
* **Camera:** The camera is positioned behind the family, capturing their silhouettes against the brilliantly lit sky. This emphasizes the scale of the fireworks and the shared experience. The camera slowly pushes in (dolly zoom) towards the family as the final firework bursts.
* **FX:** The sound design should be prominent here, with the loud, echoing booms of the fireworks.
* **Shot 4: The Final Glow (Duration: 3 seconds)**
* **Action:** The final shot is a close-up of the mother and child. The child is looking up, her face illuminated by the fading light of the last firework, a reflection of the colorful explosion visible in her wide, wonder-filled eyes. The mother looks down at her daughter with a soft, loving smile.
* **Camera:** Rack focus from the fading firework in the sky to the sharp focus on the child’s eye, capturing the reflection.
* **End:** The video fades to black as the final sparks disappear.
**`[TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS]`**
* **Resolution:** 4K UHD (3840×2160), rendered to 1080×1920 for the reel.
* **Frame Rate:** Generate at 120fps to allow for smooth slow-motion effects, final output at 30fps.
* **Focus:** Maintain a sharp focus on the primary subject of each shot. Use rack focus for dramatic effect where specified.
**`[NEGATIVE PROMPTS / EXCLUSIONS]`**
* **Avoid:** Blurry or out-of-focus shots, shaky camera movements, unrealistic or cartoonish fireworks, unsafe firework handling, sad or fearful expressions, modern Western clothing, brand logos, any text overlays. Do not show fireworks being lit in an enclosed space. Ensure the setting is clearly outdoors.

Dynamic
**`[PLATFORM]`**
Google Veo
**`[VIDEO FORMAT]`**
Vertical 9:16 Aspect Ratio (Reel), 12-15 seconds duration.
**`[OVERALL SCENE DESCRIPTION]`**
An energetic and vibrant short video reel capturing the uninhibited joy of the Holi festival. The video follows a group of young friends in a sun-drenched setting, starting clean and escalating into a beautiful chaos of color. The reel should feel spontaneous, exhilarating, and full of life, celebrating friendship and the spirit of the festival.
**`[VISUAL STYLE & AESTHETICS]`**
* **Overall Mood:** Energetic, ecstatic, vibrant, carefree, and celebratory.
* **Cinematography:** Handheld but stabilized, giving a sense of dynamic movement and participation. Fast-paced editing with cuts timed to an upbeat, imagined rhythm.
* **Lighting:** Bright, high-key natural sunlight. The sun should be high, creating minimal shadows and making the colors pop. Lens flares from the sun should be used creatively.
* **Color Palette:** The video starts with a base of clean white (from the clothes) and is progressively overwhelmed by a saturated rainbow of colors: fuchsia pink, brilliant yellow, turquoise blue, and bright orange ‘gulal’ (powder).
* **Texture & Detail:** Ultra-realistic rendering of the colored powder as it hangs in the air like a mist, the fine particles catching the light. Capture the texture of the powder on skin and fabric, and the splashes of colored water.
**`[KEY SUBJECTS & CHARACTERS]`**
* A diverse group of four friends (two male, two female, early 20s). They are all dressed in simple, clean white cotton clothes (kurtas, t-shirts). Their initial expressions are of playful anticipation, which erupts into pure, uninhibited laughter and joy.
**`[SETTING & ENVIRONMENT]`**
A sunlit, open courtyard or park with green grass and trees in the background. The atmosphere is clear and bright.

* **Shot 2: The Color Explosion (Duration: 5 seconds)**
* **Action:** The video immediately cuts to a medium shot at normal speed. The moment of gentle coloring is over. One friend throws a handful of yellow powder into the air, which rains down on the group. Another friend playfully sprays colored water from a ‘pichkari’ (water gun). They are all laughing, dodging, and chasing each other.
* **Camera:** The camera moves with the action, capturing dynamic movements and candid, joyful expressions. A quick whip pan connects the actions.
* **Shot 3: The Slow-Motion Climax (Duration: 4 seconds)**
* **Action:** A wide shot of the four friends running towards the center. In perfect unison, they all throw handfuls of different colored powders high into the air above them.
* **Camera:** The camera is low to the ground and tilted up. As they throw the powder, the footage switches to dramatic ultra slow-motion (240fps). The camera captures the vibrant clouds of powder mixing and billowing against the bright blue sky in a breathtaking visual.
* **Shot 4: The Joyful Aftermath (Duration: 2 seconds)**
* **Action:** The final shot is a static medium shot. The friends, now completely covered in a mosaic of wet and dry colors, come together for a group hug. They are breathless and laughing, looking directly at the camera with radiant smiles.
* **Camera:** The camera is steady, capturing the final, happy portrait of the group. The video ends on this high note.
