A woman reads a book on a terrace by the sea. The sun is setting. A huge burning meteor is already falling behind her. She looks up, understands, and does not run. She closes the book, takes one last sip of whiskey and closes her eyes. Then the blast hits and the screen goes black.

What happens in 20 seconds
| Time | Shot | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 0–2s | Wide, from the side | She turns a page. Orange light falls on the paper. The meteor is in the sky |
| 2–4s | Close-up, face | She looks up. Her breath catches. No big shock |
| 4–6s | Same close-up | Her shoulders drop. She breathes out and swallows |
| 6–8s | Hands and lap | She closes the book and reaches for the glass |
| 8–11s | Medium, face and sea | One slow sip. She looks at the water, not the meteor |
| 11–13s | Wide | The meteor hits the sea. A white-gold flash. She becomes a silhouette |
| 13–15s | Close-up, hand | She puts the glass down. A deep rumble starts |
| 15–17s | Close-up, face | She rests her head back and closes her eyes |
| 17–19s | Wide | A wall of spray rushes across the sea toward her |
| 19–20s | Wide | The blast covers her and the camera. Cut to black |
Make your character sheet
A single selfie shows the model only one side of you. In this video you turn, lean back and close your eyes, so the model has to guess the rest, and the face drifts. A character sheet shows your face, your body and your outfit from the front, the side and the back.
We already have a prompt for that. Use the character sheet prompt from the Superhero Landing page: one photo of your face, one photo of the outfit, and it makes the sheet.
Check the sheet before you go on. The face must look like you, and the whole body must be in frame.
Set up the video
Open ImagineArt+200 free credits, go to video and pick Seedance 2.5. Add your character sheet as the reference image. Add only this one image and nothing else.
Set the length to 20 seconds and the shape to 9:16. The prompt is written second by second for exactly 20 seconds. A shorter video will cut the ending.
Paste the prompt and generate
Copy the whole prompt. Do not shorten it. Every block does a job, and the blocks at the end stop the most common mistakes.
In the prompt, @[Image 1] is your character sheet. If your platform shows
references in a different way, for example @Image 1, change only that part.
SHOOTING STYLE 20s, 9:16, intimate cinematic realism with clean hard cuts. Modern digital capture, 24fps, 180-degree shutter, 35mm-equivalent wide shots and 75mm close-ups. Observational camera: light handheld breathing, small delayed corrections, natural focus settling, real skin and fabric texture. Seated eye-level viewpoints only, no drone shots and no spectacle-only cutaways. Lighting: a vivid sunset. The low golden sun sits right on the sea horizon, with a bright gold reflection path on the water. The upper sky is soft violet and lavender, with fluffy clouds glowing pink, magenta and peach from below. The band near the horizon is warm orange and apricot, and the waves carry pink and gold highlights. Warm golden rim light on skin. As the meteor gets closer, its orange-white glow slowly takes over the sunset colors. Rich but natural color, soft contrast, no vintage filter.
ASSET MAPPING @Image 1 = ME: keep my exact face, hairstyle, body proportions and clothing. The reference card shows ONE person from several angles. Create the whole location and the meteor from text. No other references.
GLOBAL SCENE I sit alone in a wooden lounge chair on a small concrete terrace outside a modern seaside house. A flat roof edge frames the top of the shot, and behind me there is an open doorway with a thin linen curtain. The sea runs open to the horizon, where the sun is setting. A small wooden table stands by my right hand with one glass of amber whiskey on it. An open book lies on my lap. A gigantic burning meteor falls diagonally toward the far sea. Its cracked surface glows, and a thick, turbulent smoke trail follows it against the violet-pink sky. Its huge size is clear from the first shot. No other people, vehicles or distractions.
CONTINUITY LOCKS Same face, clothes, chair, table, book and glass in every shot. One meteor, one continuous falling path, one distant impact. My eyeline always faces the sea. Once the book is closed, it stays closed on my lap. The glass goes back on the table before the blast arrives. The flash comes first and the blast comes later. The sunset palette stays consistent until the flash. The final front is air pressure, mist and debris, not a curling tsunami.
TIMELINE 00:00–00:02 — THE IMPOSSIBLE BACKGROUND. Wide three-quarter side view. My relaxed body sits in the lower left of the frame, and the huge burning meteor falls across the sunset sky on the right. I am in the middle of turning a page. My fingers stop as orange light moves across the paper. Hold the shot long enough for the viewer to notice the danger behind this calm moment.
00:02–00:04 — RECOGNITION. Cut to a close-up of my face in warm sunset light. My eyes lift up to the meteor. My breath catches slightly, my lower eyelids tighten and my lips part a little. No big shock. My gaze stays on the meteor, searching for a moment, then goes still.
00:04–00:06 — ACCEPTANCE. Same close-up, no cut. My jaw relaxes, my shoulders sink, and I breathe out slowly through my nose. A little moisture shines on my lower eyelid. I swallow once. My face stays sad and clear, never empty and never cheerful.
00:06–00:08 — THE UNFINISHED BOOK. Cut to my lap and hands. I gently close the book with my left palm and keep one fingertip between the pages for a moment before pulling it out. The closed book rests on my thighs. My right hand reaches for the glass and holds it.
00:08–00:11 — ONE LAST ORDINARY PLEASURE. Cut to a medium shot with my face and the sea in the same frame. I raise the glass and take one small, slow sip. I look at the golden, glittering water, not at the meteor. I taste the drink for a moment, then lower the glass to chest level. Behind me the meteor keeps falling, and the warm glow on my cheek gets brighter.
00:11–00:13 — THE MOMENT EVERYTHING CHANGES. Cut to the wide shot from the first angle. The meteor disappears below the far horizon, next to the setting sun, and a huge white-gold flash blooms over the sea, followed by a rising wall of vapor. The terrace turns bright, and my body becomes a dark silhouette against the burning sky. I stay still with the glass lowered. Right after the flash, only close breathing and the quiet sea can be heard.
00:13–00:15 — A SMALL, FINAL GESTURE. Cut to a close-up of my hand. I carefully set the glass down on the table, and its base makes one clear, soft tap. My fingers let go completely and stay beside it. A deep, distant rumble begins and grows. Small ripples shake the surface of the drink.
00:15–00:17 — STAY WITH THE FACE. Cut to a close-up of my face, lit by the growing glow. I look at the sea one more time, take a gentle breath, rest my head back against the chair and slowly close my eyes. My forehead relaxes. Hold on my closed eyes for a short moment while the rumble gets louder.
00:17–00:19 — THE DISTANCE DISAPPEARS. Cut to a wide shot. Past my still, seated silhouette, a huge pressure front pushes a pale wall of spray across the sea toward the terrace, quickly filling the background. At its front edge, the curtain snaps inward and loose sand skitters past my shoes. The camera operator flinches slightly.
00:19–00:20 — ENGULFED. The blast reaches the terrace. My clothes whip back, the chair jolts, and thick white spray and dust swallow my silhouette and the lens. The frame shakes and goes completely white. Hard cut to black exactly at the end, and the sound cuts off with it. No aftermath.
PERFORMANCE DIRECTION A quiet progression: an interrupted routine, a caught breath, understanding, sadness, letting go, and attention to one last simple pleasure. No repeated reactions. Each gesture ends before the next one starts. No grin, no toast, no crying performance, no attempt to run.
AUDIO Sea waves, linen rustle, page sounds, breathing, a quiet sip, the glass touching the table. After the flash, a delayed distant rumble builds into an overwhelming pressure roar. No dialogue, narration, music or subtitles.
ENDING STATE The blast fully covers the person, the terrace and the camera, then black. No visible injury.
PRESERVE Exact identity, natural acting, object continuity, meteor path, delayed blast arrival, sunset color palette, intimate human scale.
AVOID Extra people, a second meteor, floating glass, a disappearing book, extra fingers, mismatched eyelines, early wind blast, curling tsunami, big smiles, gore, glossy CGI look, text on screen, dull grey or blue sky.
Why this viral video AI prompt works
The danger is there from the first frame. The meteor is already in the sky while she reads. The viewer sees it before she does, and that is the hook.
She stays calm. No screaming and no running. She closes the book and takes a sip. The quiet reaction is what makes people watch to the end and share it.
The flash comes before the blast. In real life, light travels faster than air pressure. The prompt keeps a few seconds between them, so the ending feels real and not rushed.
The objects are locked. The book, the glass and the chair are named once and must stay the same in every shot. Without this block, the glass floats or the book disappears between cuts.
The sunset is described in colors. The prompt does not just say “sunset”. It names violet sky, pink clouds, an orange horizon and a gold path on the water. The model follows colors much better than one word.
Where it goes wrong
| What you got | The fix |
|---|---|
| Two meteors or extra people | Generate again. Do not change the prompt |
| The face does not look like you | Make a cleaner character sheet with a larger face |
| The video stops before the blast | Set the length to 20 seconds |
| The blast is a curling tsunami wave | Generate again. The CONTINUITY LOCKS block usually fixes it on the next try |
| Different clothes in the video | Change the clothes on the character sheet, not in the prompt |
| A grey or blue sky instead of a sunset | Keep the whole SHOOTING STYLE block, with every color in it |
| It looks boring | Do not add action. The calm is the point of this video trend |
