### **Guide to Using the Dynamic Prompt & Best Practices**

This template is designed to give you maximum control by breaking down the complex effect of rainfall into its constituent parts.

* **Be Specific:** The more specific you are, the better the AI can interpret your vision. Instead of “tree,” use “ancient moss-covered kapok tree.” Instead of “leaf,” use “large, waxy taro leaf.”
* **Combine Concepts:** The power of this prompt comes from combining elements. A “macro shot” of “tiny, misty raindrops” during a “golden hour sunset” will produce a vastly different result than a “wide-angle shot” of a “torrential monsoon” at “midnight with lightning flashes.”
* **Keyword Weighting:** Some platforms allow for keyword weighting (e.g., `(cinematic lighting:1.3)`). Use this to emphasize the most critical elements of your prompt, like the lighting or rain intensity.
* **Iterate:** Don’t expect the perfect result on the first try. Use this template as a starting point. If the rain isn’t heavy enough, change `[steady downpour]` to `[torrential monsoon]`. If the lighting is too flat, change `[overcast, diffused light]` to `[dramatic god rays piercing the canopy]`.
* **Platform Neutrality:** This prompt uses descriptive natural language that is understood by most text-to-image and text-to-video AI models (Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 3, Sora, etc.). For platform-specific commands (like `–ar 16:9` for aspect ratio in Midjourney), add those at the end of your generated prompt.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**

Here is a complete prompt generated by filling in the dynamic template, ready to be used in an AI platform.

**A cinematic macro shot of a vibrant, red-eyed tree frog clinging to a large, waxy philodendron leaf in a Costa Rican cloud forest. The environment is characterized by dense undergrowth of ferns and dripping moss.**

**The rainfall is a steady downpour with medium-sized heavy drops creating visible, long cinematic streaks. The rain’s physics are splashing chaotically upon impact with the leaf surface.**

**The air is filled with thick rolling fog and ethereal steam rising from the warm ground, creating a mysterious and brooding mood. The ambient temperature feels warm and humid, visible through the soft condensation forming on the leaf.**

**The scene is set during the late afternoon golden hour. The primary light source is a low setting sun, casting dramatic god rays piercing the canopy. This light interacts with the rain to produce glistening, specular highlights on the wet surfaces of the frog’s skin and the leaf.**

**Rain is visibly collecting and dripping slowly from the leaf tips and running in rivulets across its surface. On the ground below, the water is forming perfectly still puddles that mirror the dark canopy above. Droplets are beading up on the frog’s waxy skin.**

**The shot is captured with a macro lens, creating a very shallow depth of field with beautiful bokeh effects in the blurred background. The composition follows the rule of thirds, placing the frog off-center.**

**The final image should be hyperrealistic and cinematic, with the aesthetic of a high-end nature documentary still. The color palette is dominated by deep verdant greens and earthy browns, with the vibrant red of the frog’s eye as a powerful accent color. The overall render quality should be 8K resolution, hyper-detailed, with intricate textures and professional color grading.**
