A 90s-style cel-shaded military anime prompt for a continuous single-take video through a ruined near-future city at night. The camera never stops moving, weaving past six warriors with dolly, tilt, and orbit moves, ending in a 360° bullet-time barrage. Includes detailed shot timing, lighting, and diegetic audio layers.

[prompt - images reference to video]

Unbroken single-tak, 90s cel-shaded SF military anime — hand-drawn linework, limited-palette shadows, subtle grain, 4K, no flicker. Ruined near-future city, night: debris, mech hangar, pipe corridors, rising steam, underground conduits, battle smoke. Dull orange distant firelight + pale blue moonlight; darkness dominates, light only in local pockets. Camera NEVER stops — always pushing forward or curling in, grazing past each warrior into the black behind them.
SHOT 1 (0:00–0:02.5) — Debris Crawl
EFFECT: low forward dolly + heavy shadow occlusion + drifting ash
Camera advances low through a gap in dark rubble. Crouched silhouette of @-Image1 emerges, raises their face, glares into lens. Camera grazes their right cheek, slips into the black behind. 24mm, knee height.
SHOT 2 (0:02.5–0:05) — Hangar Thread
EFFECT: weaving dolly through mech joint pipes + moonlit rim light
Beyond pipe shadows, @-Image2 stands in hangar gloom, raises a pistol to cheek level, thumbs the safety off. Camera slides past the gun arm, over the shoulder, into deep hangar dark. 35mm.
SHOT 3 (0:05–0:07) — Steam Veil
EFFECT: volumetric steam pass-through + backlit silhouette
Camera pushes through rising steam. The back of @-Image3 resolves; they turn slowly, tucking hair behind one ear, eyes locking on lens. Camera grazes their cheek, continues into the dark ahead. 50mm.
SHOT 4 (0:07–0:09.5) — Vertical Breach
EFFECT: rapid vertical rise from underground + falling debris + tilt-up reveal
Camera rockets up a dark shaft, bursts through rubble at the boots of @-Image4 kneeling, tilts up as they stand slinging a long rifle over the shoulder, staring down the lens. Camera climbs over their head into night sky. 20mm.
SHOT 5 (0:09.5–0:11.5) — Pupil Dive
EFFECT: 40% slow-motion dolly-in + macro push into iris + black swallow transition
Through a collapsed wall, @-Image5 stands in room gloom, blinks once, gazes quietly. Camera dollies straight into their pupil until the frame is swallowed by black. 85mm macro.
SHOT 6 (0:11.5–0:15) — ★ SIGNATURE: Bullet-Time Barrage
EFFECT: 360° bullet-time orbit at 20% speed + continuous muzzle flashes (local light only) + floating spinning casings + recoil sway + gunsmoke haze
Black bleeds into battlefield smoke. @-Image6 grips a rifle two-handed, firing in bursts. Camera orbits a slow full 360°, casings drifting weightless, muzzle fire strobing off their face without blowing out the frame. Orbit decelerates, settles front-on; @-Image6 ceases fire, dead still, smoke curling — poster frame.
AUDIO: no music. low bass drone + heartbeat throughout, no dialogue. Diegetic layers: rubble, wind; safety click, mech hum; steam hiss, fabric; underground echo, rifle clank; breathing, heartbeat swell; stretched gunfire echoes, casings slicing air — ending on drone and heartbeat alone.

What makes this prompt work

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

CAMERA
"dolly" is a core cinematic camera technique for establishing spatial immersion and subject framing. Also present: "tilt", "orbit", "aerial/drone".
LIGHTING
"backlight, rim light, moonlight" establishes luminance depth, volumetric shadow falloff, and tonal contrast across the generation.
MOOD
"cinematic, tense" — Mood and aesthetic tone are explicitly directed to maintain emotional consistency throughout the scene.
DURATION
At 15s, this clip is optimized for high temporal coherence and fluid, realistic motion physics.
MODEL
Seedance 2.0 (ByteDance) 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 English. This library keeps every prompt in its original language rather than translating it — the exact words are what was conditioned during generation.
