Moody frames that look lifted from a film: anamorphic flares, dramatic lighting, color grades and wide compositions. Great as first frames for AI video too.
Prompt tips
- Name a grade: “teal and orange”, “bleach bypass”, “Kodak Portra”.
- Use 21:9 or 16:9 and describe the shot size: “wide establishing shot”.
