Stop Writing One-Line AI Video Prompts

So stage 2 the obvious fix is a write better prompt and the obvious problem with that is just writing a genuinely good video prompt is hard. There is maybe 15 things worth specifying and you will remember 4 of them. And the 11 you forgot are the 11 the model is about to decide for you. And just so you know what you are forgetting here is a roughly list where the camera is whether it moves and how fast what lens it is on what time of day is it and where the light is coming from how many shots are there and where it cuts what the pace is what you can hear what the subject is doing in the first half seconds which matters more than all the rest of it combined. Nobody holds that in their hand while typing one sentence into a box so do not write it yourself. Get a chatbot to write it. I am using Claude here but any chatbot on a free plan does this fine. Same idea as before the writer is in the canon but this time I am asking for a detailed polished video prompt and I am giving it one extra piece of direction. Make it a time to rally stage. That single detail gives the whole thing a reason to exist. There is now urgency built into the scene and everything else can handle that. And that is the different video the cuts lens where the prompt says they would. The camera moves feel chosen rather than random it reads like a scene instead of a clip. And I want to hammer this because it is the whole thesis. Nothing about the model change nothing about the settings change.
