This birthday car surprise AI video prompt looks like a phone video a friend filmed. She stands in a sunny Tuscan courtyard with her eyes covered. He counts “three, two, one”. She turns, sees a mint Rolls-Royce with a pink bow and screams with joy, then hugs him, takes the keys and sits behind the wheel.

Then the car jumps forward and hits a stone fountain nobody saw. Water shoots into the air. The phone falls to the ground and keeps filming. He holds his head. She stands up in the wet car with her hands over her mouth.

It is 20 seconds long, one shot, no music. You only hear the voices, the engine, the crash and the water. You make three reference sheets first (her, him, the car), then one video prompt puts them together.

The whole process

  1. Make a character sheet of her from your own photo.
  2. Make a sheet of him from a photo, or let the prompt invent him.
  3. Make a car sheet with the bow on the bonnet.
  4. Open ImagineArt, pick Seedance 2.5 and add the three sheets in order.
  5. Set 20 seconds, 9:16 and 720p. Paste the video prompt and generate.

01

Make her character sheet

She is on screen for the whole video, from the front, the side and the back. So the model needs one clear sheet of her face and the outfit.

Add a clear photo of the person to Nano Banana Pro in ImagineArt+200 free credits. Set the shape to 3:2 and 2K. Paste this prompt. The outfit is written in words, so change it if you want a different look.

A character sheet of a woman with long copper red hair in a loose side braid, green eyes and freckles. On the left she stands in a black satin slip dress with thin straps and a high slit on one leg, black strappy heels and gold hoop earrings. On the right a close-up of her face. Plain light grey background.
@Image1 Her sheet: full body in the black satin dress and a face close-up
Her character sheet: one photo, 3:2

Character reference sheet of the exact same person as in the reference image: keep her face, eyes, freckles, skin tone, hair colour and hairstyle exactly as in the reference. New summer evening outfit: a black silk satin slip dress, figure-hugging, mid-calf length, thin spaghetti straps, low cowl neckline, a high slit up the left thigh; strappy black heeled sandals; thin gold necklace and small gold hoop earrings. Confident, elegant pose with one leg showing through the slit. Left panel: full body standing three-quarter view. Right panel: head-and-shoulders close-up of the same face. Seamless warm light-grey studio background, soft flattering light with a gentle sheen on the satin, photoreal, natural skin texture, no text, no labels.

Image 1 is a clear photo of the person. The outfit comes from the words.

02

Make his sheet

If you have a photo of the partner, run the same kind of prompt with that photo. If not, this prompt makes a man from words only. Keep the white shirt. It stays easy to see against the stone walls.

A character sheet of a man in his early thirties with short dark brown hair and light stubble, smiling. On the left he stands in a white linen shirt, beige chinos and white sneakers. On the right a close-up of his face. Plain light grey background.
@Image2 His sheet: full body and a face close-up
His character sheet: no reference, 3:2

Photoreal character reference sheet of one man, early 30s, short dark-brown hair neatly styled, light stubble, brown eyes, warm friendly smile, athletic build. He wears a white linen button-up shirt with rolled sleeves, beige chinos and clean white sneakers. Left panel: full body standing front view. Right panel: head-and-shoulders close-up of the same face. Seamless warm light-grey studio background, soft even light, natural skin texture, true-to-life colours, no text, no labels.

03

Make the car sheet

Pick a big car. We tried a small vintage Fiat 500 first, and next to it she looked like a giant. A large convertible fixes that, and with the roof down you can see her behind the wheel.

Set the shape to 16:9. The bow goes on the bonnet, so it can fly off at the crash.

A mint green Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible with the roof down and cream leather seats, shown from the front three quarter, the side and the rear three quarter on a light grey studio background. A large pink satin gift bow sits on the front bonnet.
@Image3 The car: mint Rolls-Royce Dawn with the roof down, from three sides
Car sheet: no reference, 16:9

Photoreal vehicle reference sheet: a Rolls-Royce Dawn luxury convertible with the soft top fully down, glossy pastel mint-green paint, cream-white leather interior, polished chrome grille and Spirit of Ecstasy, chrome multi-spoke wheels. A huge pink satin gift bow with long ribbon tails sits on the long bonnet. Real-world proportions: a large, long, wide car. Three views side by side on one seamless light-grey studio background: front three-quarter view, clean side profile, rear three-quarter view. Same car in all three views, soft even studio light, true-to-life colours, no text, no labels, no people.

04

Generate the video

Open ImagineArt+200 free credits, go to video and pick Seedance 2.5. Add the three sheets in this order: her sheet, his sheet, the car. Set 20 seconds, 9:16 and 720p. 480p is cheaper for a test, but the faces come out soft.

This is the prompt that made the video above, word for word. It describes her red-copper hair and the black dress. If your sheet shows a different person or outfit, change only those words in the first References line.

Birthday car surprise: Seedance 2.5, 20 seconds

[LOOK — LOCKED, APPLIES TO THE WHOLE CLIP] Photoreal handheld smartphone footage filmed by a friend, vertical 9:16, one continuous take. Warm golden-hour Tuscan light, long soft shadows, honey-coloured stone, true-to-life colours, natural phone sharpness, light handheld shake, fine grain. It must look like a real home video, not a film.

[References] The woman corresponds to @Image1. Use her face, green eyes, freckles, long red-copper ombre hair, and her outfit: black silk satin slip dress, figure-hugging, mid-calf length, thin spaghetti straps, low cowl neckline, high slit up the left thigh; strappy black heeled sandals; thin gold necklace and small gold hoop earrings. Do not use the grey studio background or the two-panel layout. The man corresponds to @Image2. Use his face, short dark-brown hair, stubble and his outfit: white linen shirt with rolled sleeves, beige chinos, white sneakers. Do not use the studio background or the two-panel layout. The car corresponds to @Image3. Keep its exact design: Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible with the soft top fully down, glossy pastel mint-green paint, cream leather seats, chrome grille, chrome wheels, a big pink satin gift bow on the long bonnet. Do not use the studio background or the three-view layout. No morphing. Real-world scale: the car is large, long and wide. Standing next to it, the top of its door reaches the woman’s hips. The man is taller than the woman. There is one woman, one man, one car. The person filming is never fully seen.

[Scene] The sunlit gravel courtyard of an old Tuscan villa: warm sandstone walls with green shutters, terracotta pots with lemon trees, tall dark cypresses behind the wall. The mint Rolls-Royce is parked on the gravel in front of the villa wall, its long bonnet pointing to the right of the frame. Hidden just outside the right edge of the frame stands a large round stone fountain with a wide water basin. The fountain is not visible at all in stages 1–4.

[Stage 1] 0–3 seconds Initial state: the woman from @Image1 stands facing the camera, both hands covering her eyes, laughing nervously. The Rolls-Royce is behind her. The man from @Image2 stands relaxed right next to the driver door, holding up the car key in one hand, grinning. Primary event: the man counts down. End state: she drops her hands and opens her eyes.

[Stage 2] 3–6 seconds Continue from the previous stage. Primary event: she turns her head toward the car behind her, sees it and freezes for a beat, then squeals with joy, presses both hands to her mouth, turns and runs toward the car in her heels, the satin dress swaying and the slit flashing her leg. The camera follows her from behind at a jog, shaky. End state: she reaches the car; the man opens his arms.

[Stage 3] 6–9 seconds Continue from the previous stage. The camera stays about three metres back, framing both of them from the knees up with the car beside them; it never pushes in on the bow. Primary event: she throws her arms around the man’s neck, then turns and leans over the long bonnet, pressing her cheek against the pink bow, squealing with joy. The man laughs and dangles the key in front of her. End state: she takes the key from his hand and bounces on her toes.

[Stage 4] 9–12 seconds Continue from the previous stage. The camera stops about four metres from the side of the car and holds still, showing the whole driver side of the car, her and the man; the bow is small in frame. The fountain is still out of frame. Primary event: the man opens the driver door for her like a gentleman. She sits down in the cream leather seat of the open convertible, he closes the door and steps back two steps, hands in his pockets, proud. She grips the steering wheel, beaming, fully visible above the door because the roof is down. End state: she is behind the wheel, the man stands beside the rear of the car.

[Stage 5] 12–14.5 seconds Continue from the previous stage. Primary event: the engine roars. The Rolls-Royce suddenly lurches forward to the right, much faster than expected. The man runs after it with one arm stretched out. The camera whips to the right to follow the car, and only now the big stone fountain appears. The front of the car hits the stone rim of the fountain with a heavy thud. A huge burst of fountain water shoots up and rains down into the open car and over her. The pink bow flies off the bonnet. End state: the car is stopped against the fountain, water pouring over it.

[Stage 6] 14.5–16 seconds Continue from the previous stage. Primary event: the person filming panics: the phone swings wildly, tilts, then slips out of their hand and falls. End state: the phone lies on the gravel, camera looking up at a low tilted angle toward the car and the fountain.

[Stage 7] 16–20 seconds Continue from the previous stage. The camera lies still on the ground until the end, tilted, gravel in the foreground, the car and the people large enough in frame to read their faces. Primary event: the white sneakers of the person filming run past the lens. The man stands on the gravel outside the car, next to the driver door, full body visible, both hands on his head, mouth open. He is never inside the car. The woman stands up in the open car, soaking wet, unhurt, hair dripping, hands over her mouth in shock. Fountain water keeps splashing over the bonnet. End state: the man still holds his head standing beside the car, she stands in the wet car, water still falling.

[Camera] One continuous handheld phone shot from a friend’s point of view, no cuts, no third-person or drone angles. The camera follows her in stages 1–3, holds still in stage 4, whips right in stage 5, falls in stage 6 and lies on the ground in stage 7.

[Audio] Natural phone-microphone sound, birdsong. Man (stage 1): “Three… two… one… open your eyes.” Woman (stage 2): “Oh my god! What is it? No… wait, wait!” Man (stage 3): “Happy birthday, babe!” Woman (stage 3): “I love her! I love her so much!” <Powerful V12 engine roaring> <Gravel spraying> <Heavy thud against stone> <Big splash of water> <Phone clattering on gravel> Then only splashing water and distant birds. No music.

[Maintain Consistency] The woman keeps her face, red-copper hair and black satin slip dress (wet at the end). The man keeps his face and white shirt. The car stays a mint Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible with the top down, at real size. The car hits only the fountain and only once. Nobody is injured. No captions, no on-screen text, no logos.

Her sheet is @Image1, his sheet is @Image2, the car is @Image3. Set 20 seconds, 9:16, 720p.

Why this prompt works

The lines are timed like a real video. He counts down, she says “Oh my god, what is it?”, he says “Happy birthday, babe”. Each line is tied to a stage, so the voices fit what you see. In our result all four lines came through in the first nine seconds.

The head turn comes before the scream. She opens her eyes, turns to the car, stops for a moment, then screams. Without that beat the joy looks fake.

The phone falls. A real friend would drop it in panic, so the last four seconds are a low, tilted shot from the gravel, and that makes the whole video feel real.

The scale is written down. “The top of its door reaches the woman’s hips” and “the man is taller than the woman”. Without numbers like these the model shrinks or grows people next to the car.

Nobody gets hurt. She stands up wet and in shock, so it stays a joke.

Where it goes wrong

What you gotThe fix
The fountain is in the shot from the startKeep “Hidden just outside the right edge of the frame” and “not visible at all in stages 1–4”
She looks bigger than the carUse a large car and keep the “Real-world scale” line
The camera fills the frame with the bowKeep “it never pushes in on the bow” and “the bow is small in frame”
He looks like he sits in the back seat at the endKeep “He is never inside the car”. If it still happens, trim the last two seconds
She screams before she sees the carKeep “turns her head toward the car behind her, sees it and freezes for a beat”
The car drives into something elseKeep “The car hits only the fountain and only once”
Music plays over itKeep “No music” at the end of the audio block
Faces are softGenerate at 720p. Upscaling a 480p video makes faces look like plastic
