Window Light Portrait Approach
Build a window light portrait approach AI video prompt with structured camera, motion, lighting, input, variation, and continuity guidance.
Current prompt
v2Use a controlled dolly in for a close-up shot of [subject] in [environment], with [style] art direction; [motion]. Approach slowly as the subject turns from the window toward the lens without changing seat position. Preserve subject identity, geometry, lighting direction, and spatial continuity, then finish on a calm close portrait with stable eyeline.
Curated prompt template. Intended model compatibility is not a live-model test claim.
Best for
- Intimate introductions, interviews, and reflective character moments
Input requirements
- Describe one person seated beside a large window.
- Choose an environment that supports intimate introductions, interviews, and reflective character moments without adding competing subjects.
Usage notes
- Keep a controlled dolly in as the only camera instruction and make the final frame a calm close portrait with stable eyeline.
- Treat compatibility targets as formatting options, not evidence of a live-model test.
Common pitfalls
- Avoid facial identity drift as the framing changes from medium to close
Variations
- Keep the gaze outside the window and use a slower push for a more observational mood
