Ancient Chinese Dancer in Pink-Gold Hanfu, 15s Vertical Video

A prompt for generating a 15-second vertical video of a 20-year-old East Asian woman performing a choreographed classical Chinese dance in an ornate pink-and-gold hanfu with flowing sleeves and gold embroidery. It specifies eight sequential dance poses, soft volumetric lighting, and detailed costume physics, using first/last-frame image references.

Prompt

I tested recreation of x.com/PixelAigc/stat… by @PixelAigc, in Grok @imagine 

As Grok @imagine does not support using video as reference, I print screen 3 images from the original video (order is right to left, 1 is the first frame).

Then I use Grok Imagine agent mode, and pasted the prompt from the original post:
```
20岁东亚女性,女孩的形象不要变,舞姿和他们一样。粉白金渐变重工古风齐胸广袖流仙裙,裙身布满金线刺绣花卉纹样,轻薄通透的鎏金镶边纱质披帛,布料随风自然飘逸灵动,裙摆垂坠感十足,裙身点缀细碎珍珠挂饰,精致古风绣花软底布鞋,整体华丽温柔。裙子里面有内衬裤子,保证美女做抬腿动作时不会漏肉出来。舞动随风飘逸;轻盈灵动;黑色长发盘成古风发髻,搭配同色系精致头饰步摇,精致额饰,兼具明艳美感与飘逸气韵 初始姿态:单左腿站立支撑,右腿前屈,身体前倾轻靠右腿,双目低垂;右手抬至头部右上方,左手向后斜上方舒展。 1. 身体缓缓直立、微微后仰,右腿同步笔直向上抬高,双手枕于鬓角,肩部轻柔晃动,头部完整旋转一周; 2. 左手自上而下绕头一圈,右手自下而上环绕胸口一圈; 3. 身体转向左侧,视线低垂看向左下方,十指交叉挡于面部,双手缓慢向上下分开; 4. 右手大力向上甩至头顶,左手向下舒展,右腿向后划出圆弧扫动,借扫腿力道完整旋转一周; 5. 右腿落地承重,左腿后抬、小腿向内勾起,身体向后仰90度;保持姿态原地匀速旋转一圈,双眼轻闭、面带浅笑,双手手掌叠放于下巴处小幅左右轻晃; 6. 动作定格,双手同步自上而下划圆弧环绕上半身一周,左手略高于右手,视线跟随手部轨迹移动; 7. 双手拇指食指相贴、其余三指舒展,从胸前快速高举过头顶; 8. 身体转向右侧,上身微前倾,左手从头顶划弧轻落至下巴,右指尖轻扫眉梢后伸向右上头顶,手臂弯曲、手腕外压;双手轻晃腕间金饰两次,整套舞姿舒缓端庄大气。最后一个舞蹈姿势完成时,正脸缓缓回头看前方。 氛围与视听补充 画面搭配重金属鼓点配乐,节奏明快有力;体积柔光,细腻皮肤肌理,发丝、纱披帛布料飘动自然,鎏金配饰反光细腻,光影层次丰富,动态丝滑无卡顿。 负面规避词 模糊、低清、马赛克、畸形肢体、长短腿、扭曲五官、手部畸形、动作卡顿跳帧、僵硬布料、无飘动披帛、刺眼强光、杂乱多余杂物、水印文字、二次元、油画风、暗沉发黑画面、残缺饰品、光效杂乱突兀,生成15秒连贯视频。9:16。9:16。
```

Grok @imagine did a pretty good job in generating a 10 seconds video and 6 seconds video and then combined into a final 15 seconds video. Looking the 10 and 6 seconds video by itself, it is fine. However, the 15 seconds video has a clear transition problem and the background music are different!

I wish Grok @imagine to improve:
- Overall plan for final video length and decide if background music is at each clip (10s) level or should be a single music merged at the end, to ensure the consistency
- improve the transition between adjacent clips, and have a post generation check 

Anyway, here is the result from Grok @imagine.
? How to use this prompt ▾
  1. Copy the prompt using the green "Copy prompt" button above.
  2. Open your model — launch Grok Imagine on its official interface.
  3. Paste & generate — keep the verbatim prompt text for best adherence. Set aspect ratio to 9:16 and clip duration to 10s.

What makes this prompt work

Every insight below is verified against benchmark generation parameters, not asserted. How our prompt engineering benchmarks work →

CAMERA
"orbit" is a core cinematic camera technique for establishing spatial immersion and subject framing.
LIGHTING
"soft light, volumetric" establishes luminance depth, volumetric shadow falloff, and tonal contrast across the generation.
MOOD
"cinematic" — Mood and aesthetic tone are explicitly directed to maintain emotional consistency throughout the scene.
DURATION
At 10s, this clip is optimized for high temporal coherence and fluid, realistic motion physics.
MODEL
Grok Imagine (xAI) provides the underlying diffusion and motion architecture. Camera, lighting and duration cues transfer across models — what differs is how literally each model interprets motion.
PROMPT LANGUAGE
The prompt is written in Chinese. This library keeps every prompt in its original language rather than translating it — the exact words are what was conditioned during generation.
