### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt for Sniper Scope Lens Flare VFX**
This prompt is structured as a modular template. You can select, combine, and modify the bracketed `[VARIABLES]` to generate a vast array of highly specific and context-aware sniper scope lens flare effects. This dynamic structure ensures reusability and precise control over the final output, making it compatible with all major AI image and video generation platforms.
#### **How to Use This Dynamic Prompt:**
1. **Start with the Core Concept:** This is the foundation of your prompt.
2. **Select from Variables:** For each category (e.g., `[SCENE_ENVIRONMENT]`, `[FLARE_CHARACTERISTICS]`), choose one or more descriptors that fit your desired outcome.
3. **Combine and Refine:** Assemble your chosen variables into a coherent paragraph or a comma-separated list. You can add your own specific details to further customize the result.
4. **Utilize Negative Prompts:** The `[NEGATIVE_PROMPTS]` section is crucial for eliminating unwanted elements and refining the AI’s focus.

### **The Dynamic Prompt Template**
**(Core Concept)**
`VFX optical effect, an intense and hyperrealistic sniper scope lens flare. The image focuses exclusively on the glint of light off the objective lens of a sniper rifle, symbolizing a moment of imminent danger in a precision combat scenario. The style is cinematic, photorealistic, and technically precise.`
**(Primary Subject & Context)**
`The central subject is the brilliant, sharp glint from a [SCOPE_TYPE] sniper scope. The sniper is [SNIPER_POSITION], positioned within a [SCENE_ENVIRONMENT]. The overall mood is [MOOD_AND_TONE].`
**(Lens Flare Characteristics)**
`The lens flare itself is a [FLARE_SHAPE] flare with a [FLARE_INTENSITY] intensity. Its primary characteristics include [FLARE_ELEMENTS]. The color palette of the flare is dominated by [FLARE_COLOR_PALETTE], with subtle [SECONDARY_COLOR_NOTES].`
**(Lighting and Atmospherics)**
`The primary light source causing the flare is the [LIGHT_SOURCE]. The ambient light is [AMBIENT_LIGHT_DESCRIPTION]. The atmosphere is filled with [ATMOSPHERIC_EFFECTS], which interact with the light to enhance the realism of the effect.`
**(Composition and Camera)**
`The camera view is a [CAMERA_PERSPECTIVE], framed as a [SHOT_TYPE]. The composition emphasizes [COMPOSITIONAL_FOCUS]. The depth of field is [DEPTH_OF_FIELD], ensuring the flare is the undeniable focal point.`
**(Technical & Stylistic Details)**
`Rendered in a style reminiscent of [ARTISTIC_INFLUENCE]. Technical specifications: [RESOLUTION], [ASPECT_RATIO]. The overall aesthetic should feel like a high-fidelity render from [RENDERING_ENGINE_STYLE], with [COLOR_GRADING_STYLE] color grading.`

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated from the dynamic template above.
**(Prompt)**
`VFX optical effect, an intense and hyperrealistic sniper scope lens flare. The image focuses exclusively on the glint of light off the objective lens of a sniper rifle, symbolizing a moment of imminent danger. The central subject is the brilliant, sharp glint from a modern, high-powered scope with a honeycomb anti-reflection device. The sniper is perfectly concealed, peeking from a shattered window in a derelict building within the rubble-strewn streets of a war-torn city at dusk. The overall mood is tense, suspenseful, and dangerous. The lens flare itself is a piercing anamorphic horizontal flare with a sharp intensity. Its primary characteristics include long, dramatic light streaks radiating outwards and a defined central glint with a halo. The color palette of the flare is dominated by cold sterile blues and cyan, with subtle hints of green from the lens coating. The primary light source is the last ray of the setting sun, and the ambient light is a soft, diffused twilight. The atmosphere is filled with swirling dust motes and lingering smoke from recent combat. The camera view is an extreme telephoto shot from the target’s perspective (POV), framed as an extreme close-up. The composition places the glint dead center, creating a confrontational feel. The depth of field is extremely shallow, with heavy background bokeh, ensuring the flare is the undeniable focal point. Rendered in a style reminiscent of a modern military thriller film, with 8K UHD resolution and an anamorphic cinemascope 2.39:1 aspect ratio. The aesthetic should feel like a high-fidelity render from Unreal Engine 5 with ray tracing, featuring a high-contrast, gritty, desaturated color grading. `
