### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated by following the template above. It combines specific choices to create a cohesive and powerful vision.
**(Final Assembled Prompt)**
**masterpiece, cinematic 4K video, hyper-detailed, photorealistic Ethereal FX shot of a trio of spirits performing a solemn and ritualistic dance in a misty, ancient redwood forest at twilight. The scene is defined by the spirits themselves being the primary source of light and a magical realism aesthetic.**
The spirits are graceful, slender humanoid figures without distinct faces, their bodies formed from woven moonlight and captured starlight. Their dance is a slow, flowing ballet, a series of interconnected, Tai Chi-like movements that feel ancient and powerful. They move through a sacred glade surrounding a primordial, mossy monolith, where thick, low-hanging fog swirls around their feet.
The cinematography is a slow, sweeping orbital shot that circles the clearing, shot with a prime lens creating beautiful, soft bokeh in the background. The color palette is a cool, monochromatic blend of deep blues, silvers, and indigos, with high contrast between the deep shadows of the forest and the brilliant light of the spirits.
For special effects, they leave behind faint, shimmering trails of light and sparkling dust. The air around them distorts slightly, like a heat-haze. With every step, bioluminescent moss on the ground and monolith brightens in a ripple effect, pulsing in time with their movements.
`–neg human faces, distinct facial features, clothing, fabric, text, words, watermarks, UI, buildings, artificial structures, harsh or modern lighting, cartoon, anime, ugly, deformed, blurry, pixelated, noise, grain.`
