### **Understanding the Dynamic Prompt Structure**

A “Dynamic Prompt” is not a single, static sentence but a modular template. It is built with interchangeable components, or variables, that allow you to generate a vast array of unique outputs from a single, well-engineered structure. This approach gives you precise control over the final image while maintaining a consistent, high-quality style.

The structure below is broken down into logical sections. You will replace the text in `[brackets]` with your desired specifications from the provided options (or your own). This method ensures clarity for the AI, reduces ambiguity, and consistently produces professional, cinematic results.

### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt: Waterfall & Rainbow VFX**

This prompt is designed to be copied and pasted, with the bracketed sections filled in to create your final prompt.

**(1. Core Scene & Subject)**
`A breathtaking, photorealistic shot from a nature documentary of a [Waterfall Type] in a remote [Geographic Location/Environment]. The water cascades with immense [Power/Grace] over [Rock Formation Type] into a [Body of Water Below].`

**(2. Primary VFX Focus: Water & Light Interaction)**
`The central focus is the hyper-detailed interaction of light and water. Billowing clouds of [Mist Density] mist rise from the base, catching the light and creating a sense of scale and power. Individual water droplets are visible, sparkling and refracting light. A [Rainbow Type and Intensity] is formed within the mist, its colors [Rainbow Color Description]. The scene features prominent [Specific Light Phenomenon] and subtle water caustics dancing on the wet rock surfaces.`

**(3. Cinematography & Composition)**
`Cinematic composition, [Composition Rule]. The shot is captured from a [Camera Angle] perspective, using a [Lens Type] to create a sense of [Depth/Scale/Intimacy]. The camera is [Camera Position/Movement], giving the scene a dynamic yet stable feel, as if filmed by a professional wildlife cinematographer.`

**(4. Lighting, Atmosphere & Mood)**
`The scene is illuminated by the [Time of Day] sun, casting [Light Quality] light across the landscape. The overall atmosphere is [Atmospheric Adjective], with a color palette dominated by [Primary Colors] and [Secondary Colors]. The mood is [Mood Adjective], evoking a feeling of awe and the raw beauty of nature.`

**(5. Style, Quality & Rendering)**
`Rendered in a hyperrealistic, ultra-detailed style reminiscent of a BBC Earth or Planet Earth documentary. Shot on a RED Digital Cinema camera, 8K resolution, UHD, photorealistic CGI, physically-based rendering (PBR), cinematic lighting, professional color grading, tack-sharp focus, immense detail, no artifacts.`

**(6. (Optional) Negative Prompts)**
`Avoid: people, man-made structures, buildings, roads, text, watermarks, cartoon, anime, illustration, fantasy elements, magic, oversaturated colors, blurry, low resolution, noise.`

### **Example Prompt in Practice**

Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated from the dynamic template above. This example aims for a powerful, cinematic shot of an Icelandic waterfall.

**(1. Core Scene & Subject)**
`A breathtaking, photorealistic shot from a nature documentary of a gargantuan single-plunge waterfall in a remote Icelandic highlands. The water cascades with immense thundering power over jagged basalt columns into a churning turquoise plunge pool.`

**(2. Primary VFX Focus: Water & Light Interaction)**
`The central focus is the hyper-detailed interaction of light and water. Billowing clouds of dense and turbulent mist rise from the base, catching the light and creating a sense of scale and power. Individual water droplets are visible, sparkling and refracting light. An intense double rainbow is formed within the mist, its colors perfectly separated and vivid. The scene features prominent dramatic god rays piercing through the mist and subtle water caustics dancing on the wet rock surfaces.`

**(3. Cinematography & Composition)**
`Cinematic composition, leading lines using the river. The shot is captured from an epic wide-angle drone shot perspective, using a wide-angle lens (e.g., 24mm) to create a sense of epic scale. The camera is a slow, cinematic pan, giving the scene a dynamic yet stable feel, as if filmed by a professional wildlife cinematographer.`

**(4. Lighting, Atmosphere & Mood)**
