### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt for Ramayana Cinematic Veo**
**Title:** Ramayana: The Divine Tapestry – A Veo Cinematic Prompt Framework
**Objective:** To generate artistically rich, emotionally resonant, and cinematically breathtaking video clips from the epic Ramayana. This prompt is designed to be a flexible template where you can swap out key elements to create virtually any scene with a consistent, high-quality aesthetic.
**Best Practices for Usage:**
* **Be Evocative:** Use strong, sensory language. Instead of “Rama was sad,” try “A single, silent tear traced a path down Rama’s dust-streaked cheek, his shoulders slumping with the weight of unspoken grief.”
* **Combine Styles:** Don’t be afraid to mix and match artistic influences. A combination like “Weta Digital realism meets the painterly lighting of Raja Ravi Varma” can produce unique and stunning results.
* **Iterate:** Generate a scene, see what works, and refine your inputs. Change the camera angle, lighting, or a single keyword in the `[ART_STYLE_&_AESTHETICS]` section to see how it transforms the output.
* **Fill in all bracketed `[ ]` fields.** The more detail you provide, the more control you have over the final video.

### **The Dynamic Prompt Template**
**(Copy and paste the entire structure below and fill in the bracketed `[ ]` sections for your desired scene.)**
**`[PROMPT_ID]`:** (A unique identifier for your scene, e.g., RAMAYANA_VEO_001_SITA_SWAYAMVAR)
**1. `[CORE_CONCEPT]`:** (A single, powerful sentence that encapsulates the entire scene. This is the primary instruction for Veo.)
* **Example:** A breathtaking, epic fantasy video of Lord Rama effortlessly lifting and breaking the divine bow of Shiva, Pinaka, triggering a shockwave of divine energy through a stunned royal court.
**2. `[SCENE_TITLE]`:** (A descriptive title for the scene.)
* **Example:** The Breaking of the Shiva Dhanush
**3. `[DETAILED_SCENE_DESCRIPTION]`:** (Describe the setting, the characters’ positions, and the sequence of actions in detail, as if you were writing a script. What happens from the beginning to the end of the clip?)
* **Example:** The scene opens in the grand, opulent assembly hall of Mithila, filled with proud kings and anxious courtiers. The colossal divine bow, Pinaka, rests on a pedestal in the center. A young, serene Rama approaches it with humble confidence. He places one hand on the bow. With a deep breath, he lifts it as if it were a flower garland. The crowd gasps. He proceeds to string it, but as he applies pressure, the bow bends beyond its limit and shatters with a deafening, thunder-like crack. A wave of golden light erupts from the break.
**4. `[CHARACTER_FOCUS_&_EMOTION]`:** (Detail the key characters, their appearance, attire, and most importantly, their emotional state and expression. This guides the AI on “acting”.)
* **`[CHARACTER_1_NAME]`:** Lord Rama
* **Appearance/Attire:** Youthful yet divine, with a calm and determined expression. Clad in a simple but elegant saffron silk dhoti and angavastram. His physique is lean but powerful, muscles tensing realistically as he handles the bow.
* **Emotion/Expression:** Serene confidence, focused determination, a subtle, divine aura. His eyes are full of resolve.
* **`[CHARACTER_2_NAME]`:** Sita
* **Appearance/Attire:** Watching from a royal balcony, she is radiant in intricate bridal lehenga and adorned with jasmine flowers and gold jewelry.
* **Emotion/Expression:** A mixture of intense hope, nervous anticipation, and finally, overwhelming relief and joy. Her eyes widen, and a single tear of happiness escapes as the bow breaks.
* **`[SUPPORTING_CHARACTERS]`:** Kings and Courtiers
* **Emotion/Expression:** Arrogant disbelief turns to slack-jawed astonishment and awe. King Janaka’s expression shifts from deep anxiety to pure, unadulterated joy.
**5. `[CINEMATOGRAPHY_&_CAMERA]`:** (This is crucial for the “cinematic” feel. Specify the shot type, camera movement, lens, and focus.)
* **Shot Type & Sequence:** Start with an epic wide shot establishing the grandeur of the hall. Transition to a slow dolly zoom focusing on Rama as he approaches the bow. Use an extreme close-up on his hand gripping the ancient wood. As he lifts, switch to a low-angle shot to emphasize his power. The moment the bow breaks, use dramatic slow-motion (120fps) with a slight camera shake. Conclude with a sweeping crane shot showing the reactions of the entire court.
* **Camera & Lens:** Shot on Arri Alexa 65 with Panavision anamorphic lenses for a wide, cinematic aspect ratio and beautiful lens flares.
* **Focus:** Rack focus from the stunned faces in the crowd to Rama’s determined face right before he lifts the bow.
**6. `[ART_STYLE_&_AESTHETICS]`:** (Define the visual DNA of the scene. Be specific and reference known styles, artists, or studios.)
* **Primary Style:** `[Choose ONE or combine, e.g., Weta Digital Hyperrealism, Studio Ghibli Mysticism, Amar Chitra Katha Comics, Raja Ravi Varma Living Painting, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Opulence]`
* **Details:** The architectural details of the palace should be inspired by ancient Indian temple architecture (Hoysala and Maru-Gurjara styles). The textures of the silk garments, the glint of gold jewelry, and the grain of the divine bow should be hyper-detailed and photorealistic.
**7. `[LIGHTING_&_ATMOSPHERE]`:** (Describe the lighting. Is it day or night? Natural or magical? What is the mood?)
* **Lighting Scheme:** Dramatic and divine. Volumetric light shafts (“god rays”) pierce through high arched windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The overall lighting is warm, like a golden hour sunset, but the bow itself emits a cool, ethereal, blue-white glow that intensifies as Rama touches it.
* **Atmosphere:** Tense, reverent, and charged with divine energy. A palpable sense of anticipation hangs in the air.
**8. `[COLOR_PALETTE]`:** (Specify the dominant colors to control the mood.)
* **Primary Colors:** Deep royal blues, vibrant saffron, rich maroons, and glittering gold.
* **Accent Colors:** The divine, ethereal cyan of the bow’s energy, and the soft pinks and creams of Sita’s attire.
* **Overall Tone:** High contrast, deeply saturated, and opulent.
**9. `[RENDER_QUALITY_&_EFFECTS]`:** (Technical specifications to push Veo towards a high-fidelity output.)
* **Resolution & Quality:** 8K resolution, photorealistic, hyper-detailed, cinematic quality. Rendered in Unreal Engine 5.
* **Visual Effects (VFX):** When the bow breaks, a shockwave of golden energy and shimmering particles erupts outwards. The sound should be visualized as a ripple in the air. Slow-motion dust motes are kicked up by the force. Subtle, organic lens flare as the divine light washes over the camera.

### **Example Prompt: The Abduction of Sita by Ravana**
Here is a completed prompt using the template above to generate a specific, dramatic scene.
**`[PROMPT_ID]`:** RAMAYANA_VEO_002_SITA_HARAN
**1. `[CORE_CONCEPT]`:** A terrifying and visually spectacular, dark fantasy video of the ten-headed demon king Ravana, in his colossal true form, abducting a defiant Sita from her forest hermitage, as the divine vulture Jatayu valiantly tries to intervene.
**2. `[SCENE_TITLE]`:** The Sky-Borne Abduction
**3. `[DETAILED_SCENE_DESCRIPTION]`:** The scene begins in a tranquil, sun-dappled clearing in the Panchavati forest. Sita is outside her simple hermitage when Ravana, disguised as a sage, approaches. His disguise melts away, revealing his monstrous, ten-headed form, towering over her. He grabs her as she struggles fiercely. As his flying chariot, the Pushpaka Vimana, lifts into the stormy sky, the ancient, colossal vulture Jatayu swoops in, claws and beak ready, to challenge the demon king mid-air.
**4. `[CHARACTER_FOCUS_&_EMOTION]`:**
* **`[CHARACTER_1_NAME]`:** Ravana
* **Appearance/Attire:** A giant, ten-headed, twenty-armed demon king. His skin is obsidian-dark, adorned with heavy gold armor and a crown on each head. His main face snarls with arrogant triumph, while the other nine display a cacophony of rage, cunning, and cruelty.
* **Emotion/Expression:** Malevolent power, cruel amusement, and furious impatience.
* **`[CHARACTER_2_NAME]`:** Sita
* **Appearance/Attire:** Dressed in simple, elegant hermit’s clothing (saffron cotton sari). Her hair is disheveled from the struggle.
* **Emotion/Expression:** Not a helpless victim, but a figure of defiant fury and desperation. She struggles, her eyes blazing with rage and calling for Rama and Lakshmana.
* **`[SUPPORTING_CHARACTERS]`:** Jatayu
* **Appearance:** An ancient, enormous divine vulture, as large as a small hill. His feathers are bronze and gold, and his eyes are intelligent and filled with righteous fury.
* **Emotion/Expression:** Noble courage, righteous anger, and pained determination.
**5. `[CINEMATOGRAPHY_&_CAMERA]`:**
* **Shot Type & Sequence:** Start with a handheld, shaky-cam shot from Sita’s perspective as Ravana reveals his true form, emphasizing terror and scale. As they ascend, switch to a dynamic, aerial drone shot that whirls around the flying chariot and the battling Jatayu. Use extreme close-ups on Jatayu’s talons clashing against Ravana’s armor. The climax of the clip is a slow-motion shot of Ravana striking Jatayu with a divine weapon, sending feathers flying everywhere.
* **Camera & Lens:** Shot on a RED Komodo camera with a wide-angle Cooke S7/i lens to capture the vastness of the sky and the scale of the characters.
* **Focus:** Deep focus to keep both the foreground struggle and the roiling storm clouds in the background sharp and clear.
**6. `[ART_STYLE_&_AESTHETICS]`:**
* **Primary Style:** A fusion of Guillermo del Toro’s dark fantasy creature design and the epic scale of Weta Digital’s work on *The Lord of the Rings*.
* **Details:** Ravana’s design should feel ancient and powerful, not cartoonish. The Pushpaka Vimana is not a simple chariot but a complex, ornate flying machine of gold and dark metal, pulsing with magical energy. The forest below should feel lush and primeval.
**7. `[LIGHTING_&_ATMOSPHERE]`:**
* **Lighting Scheme:** The tranquil sunlight of the forest is abruptly consumed by unnatural, stormy darkness as Ravana reveals his power. The sky is filled with dark, swirling clouds lit from within by flashes of green and purple lightning. Ravana’s body and chariot are the primary light sources in the sky battle.
* **Atmosphere:** Terrifying, chaotic, and epic. The sense of a cosmic law being broken.
**8. `[COLOR_PALETTE]`:**
* **Primary Colors:** Stormy grays, deep indigos, and obsidian blacks.
* **Accent Colors:** The sickly green of Ravana’s magic, the brilliant gold of Jatayu’s feathers and Sita’s inner divine light, and the stark crimson of shed blood.
* **Overall Tone:** Dark, high-contrast, and menacing.
**9. `[RENDER_QUALITY_&_EFFECTS]`:**
* **Resolution & Quality:** 8K resolution, photorealistic, cinematic. Rendered in Unreal Engine 5 with Lumen global illumination.
* **Visual Effects (VFX):** Dynamic weather effects with torrential rain and lightning. Realistic feather and particle physics for the mid-air battle. Ravana’s multiple heads should be animated independently, muttering and snarling. Magical energy crackles around Ravana’s weapons. A subtle chromatic aberration effect on the edges of the frame enhances the sense of chaos.
