How to Create a Short Video – Step-by-Step Scheme
- Introduction
General overview / blueprint of how to create a short video
- Reference Image (Grok)
You need to generate a reference (master) image that will serve as the consistent character basis for creating all subsequent images in your video.
Photo prompt :
A 22-year-old Caucasian female with a tan complexion dominates the immediate foreground of a dimly lit, industrial parking structure. Her face features prominent cheekbones, full lips with a glossy mauve tint, and arched eyebrows framing almond-shaped hazel eyes that catch the ambient overhead lighting. Her dark brown hair, styled straight with a center part, cascades past her shoulders, exhibiting subtle frizz and individual strands that suggest natural texture. The subject wears a tight-fitting, long-sleeved black top with a deep plunging neckline that reveals significant cleavage and the smooth texture of her décolletage, highlighting faint sebaceous filaments and the soft specular reflection of the skin. She angles her head slightly, offering a direct, intense gaze into the camera lens. Behind her, a sleek silver BMW M4 coupe occupies the middle ground, its metallic paint reflecting the cold, artificial lights of the garage. The vehicle features the distinctive, large kidney grille with horizontal slats and aggressive aerodynamic lines. Above the car, suspended from the concrete ceiling, a rectangular directional sign displays white sans-serif typography on a dark background; the reversed text reads “← DRAWRO” (likely “FORWARD” mirrored in a selfie) next to an arrow pointing left, indicating traffic flow. Black utility pipes and red fire suppression lines run horizontally across the ceiling, adding industrial clutter to the background. The concrete floor shows signs of wear, with oil stains and tire marks visible near the white parking stall lines. The lighting is harsh and overhead, creating deep shadows beneath the car and defining the contours of the subject’s face and collarbones. The atmosphere is candid and urban, capturing a spontaneous moment in a utilitarian setting. Harsh fluorescent lighting creates high-contrast shadows and specular highlights on the car’s bodywork. The composition uses a slightly high-angle selfie perspective, emphasizing the subject’s upper body while incorporating the luxury vehicle as a status symbol in the background. **, 硬朗光影, 地下车库, 极简构图**
