Primary DALL·E prompt (romantic rooftop, cinematic realism)
Two twenty-something urban creators on a city rooftop at golden hour after a guerrilla street-dance shoot: an emerging film director with a weathered 16mm camera hanging from a frayed strap, and a street-dance short-video blogger in scuffed white sneakers. They share one set of earbuds; a mellow beat curls through the air like warm honey. The dancer gently guides the director’s hands through a simple footwork pattern; their fingers brush, laughter catches, eyes shining with a secret they’re just beginning to name. Wind teases loose pages of a shot list taped to a milk crate; string lights tremble; pigeons wheel past a skyline turned to molten brass. Close, intimate framing, 35mm lens vibe, eye-level, shallow depth of field; warm rim light grazing their cheeks, soft bloom on highlights, fine dust motes drifting like fireflies. Color palette: amber, blush pink, slate blue. Wardrobe: director—charcoal denim jacket over a white tee; dancer—oversized varsity jacket, patched cargo pants, silver rings. Props: clapboard with chalk scribbles, gaffer tape roll, portable speaker with LED glow, two paper coffee cups, Polaroids clipped to twine. Visual style: cinematic realism with gentle film grain, subtle anamorphic flares, creamy bokeh like melted neon; mood tender, wind-swept, hopeful. Photoreal, ultra-detailed. No text, captions, or watermarks.
Alternates (choose one for different moods)
-
Midnight rain, neon romance
A rain-slick alley at midnight, puddles mirror neon kanji and taillight ribbons. The emerging director shelters the dancer beneath a clear umbrella; she spins close, rain beading on lashes, their laughter fogging the night. Sodium-gold and magenta-cyan reflections stripe their faces. 50mm portrait vibe, shallow DOF, backlit raindrops sparkling like confetti. Wardrobe damp and dark with a glassy sheen; portable speaker tucked in a tote hums a low beat. Moody, intimate, rain-streaked cinematic realism. No text or watermarks.
-
Sunlit rehearsal in an abandoned theater
Dusty shafts of morning light slice through a shuttered cinema; rows of velvet seats and peeling gilt. Tape X’s mark the aisle; the dancer demonstrates a glide on the carpeted step; the director frames her with his hands, smiling, a pencil behind his ear. Chalk dust floats like constellations; their shadows meet on the stage wall. 35mm lens vibe, soft haze, warm cream and antique gold palette; tender, breath-held quiet. Photoreal, no text.
-
Subway platform between trains
A gust from a passing train lifts hair and jacket hems; LED signs strobe soft amber across concrete. The dancer teaches a quick heel-toe as the director tries, nearly stumbling, both laughing; their reflections overlap in the safety glass like a double exposure. 28–35mm wide, slight motion blur on limbs, crisp eyes, steel gray and sodium gold palette, clean modern urban romance. Photoreal, no text.
Technical notes for stronger results
- Aspect ratio: 16:9 for cinematic wides, 3:2 for editorial stills, 4:5 for portrait intimacy.
- Add “two distinct individuals” if the faces look too similar; specify “natural skin texture, subtle film grain” for realism.
- To emphasize touch and emotion, include “hands mid-gesture, micro-expressions, wind in hair.”
- To avoid clutter, end with “no logos, no posters, no on-image text, no watermarks.”
