### **Optimized AI Prompt: The Infernal Sprint – Wolf VFX**
This prompt is designed as a modular template. You can customize the bracketed `[elements]` to create countless variations of your dramatic scene. The structure follows best practices by separating the core subject, environment, cinematography, and stylistic details, guiding the AI to produce a coherent and high-impact image.
#### **Prompt Structure Breakdown:**
1. **Core Subject & Action:** The most crucial part. It defines the wolf, its emotional state, and its specific movement. This is where you inject the “drama.”
2. **Environment & Atmosphere:** Sets the stage. It describes the source of the fire and smoke, establishing the scale of the threat and the overall mood.
3. **Composition & Cinematography:** Your director’s chair. This section tells the AI *how* to frame the shot, what lens to use, and what angle to capture, creating the “action” feel.
4. **Lighting & Color Palette:** Controls the visual mood. Fire scenes have unique lighting challenges; this section ensures high contrast, drama, and visual clarity.
5. **Details & VFX (Visual Effects):** The magic layer. Here, you add the specific particle effects, textures, and atmospheric details that sell the realism and danger of the scene.
6. **Style & Rendering:** The final polish. This defines the overall artistic style, from photorealism to a more stylized cinematic look.
7. **Negative Prompts (Optional but Recommended):** Tells the AI what to avoid, helping to prevent common errors like strange anatomy, clashing tones, or a static feel.

The atmosphere is thick and suffocating, choked with **[Smoke Type, e.g., billowing clouds of acrid, oily black smoke and grey ash]**. In the background, **[Background Details, e.g., towering trees are silhouetted as blazing torches, twisted metal girders glow red-hot, skeletal remains of buildings crumble]**, establishing a sense of overwhelming catastrophe and no escape.
**[3. Composition & Cinematography]**
A **[Shot Type, e.g., dramatic low-angle shot, dynamic side-profile tracking shot, intense close-up on the wolf’s face]** that emphasizes the creature’s power and the scale of the danger.

**[5. Details & VFX]**
Hyper-detailed visual effects. A blizzard of **glowing embers, sparks, and fine ash** swirls through the air, catching the light like malevolent fireflies. Some embers cling to the wolf’s fur, sizzling out in tiny puffs of smoke. **Visible heat haze** and atmospheric distortion warp the background. Tendrils of thick smoke curl and wrap around the wolf’s body as it cuts through the air. The ground is a treacherous carpet of **[Ground Detail, e.g., glowing coals, sharp debris, cracked earth]**.
**[6. Style & Rendering]**
