Examples: 1

Input Image with these prompts: Tracking shot following a smiling woman dressed in a delicate cotton saree with subtle floral prints. Her hair is in a soft bun, and she has minimal jewelry. She walks with ease on a warm, well-lit street, surrounded by muted street activity. The fabric of her saree billows slightly.

Examples: 2

Input Image with these prompts: Cinematic medium close-up shot of a young person with a radiantly happy, genuine smile, their face softly illuminated by the golden light of a vibrant, warm sunset. They are standing in a sunny, blooming garden. Several delicate, colorful butterflies are gently fluttering and circling around them. The camera performs a very slow, gentle dolly-in on the person’s face. The lighting is soft, dreamy, and golden hour aesthetic. Ambient sound of gentle summer breeze, distant birdsong, and the soft fluttering of butterfly wings.

Examples: 3

Input Image with these prompts: A wide, cinematic shot of a beautiful young Indian woman in a flowing peach-colored saree, walking barefoot on the wet sand of a secluded beach during the magical golden hour of sunset. The waves are gently rolling in, and the wind subtly billows the end of her saree. She pauses and looks out at the vast ocean, appearing to be in deep thought and whispering a secret to the sea. The camera slowly pans and tracks alongside her as she walks.

Suddenly, a small, playful tabby cat with bright green eyes appears and playfully rubs against her ankle. She stops, her contemplative expression instantly softening into a warm, genuine smile. The camera cuts to a medium close-up as she gently bends down, scoops up the cat with love, and brings it close to her chest. She softly pets and strokes the happy, purring cat that is now nestled comfortably in her lap. The background is a soft-focus beach and the last glow of the sunset. Sound: Gentle lapping waves, the soft purr of a cat, and a quiet, ambient musical score with a hint of nostalgia.
