Rich_Winsor Posted Wednesday at 08:29 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:29 AM Glenn Dawg shoots the curl 1) combine image 1 (beagle on surfboard - don't ever mention Snoopy) with image 2 (Laird Hamilton dropping into a 30 footer as Jaws) in PSP to create image 3. 2) Take image 3 into ChatGPT and create image 4. 3) Take ChatGPT image into Invideo AI to create the following video. Glenn.mp4 Interestingly enough when creating the video with Invideo AI the image creation was stopped @ 93% because it found a questionable image. The software restarted the video creation and the video failed to generate for the second time @ 93% I didn't know how to proceed so I typed "what's the problem?" and entered the prompt. Chat gurgled, thought about it and said it was creating 2 videos for me to compare, 1 from GROK and 1 from KLING 3.0. I didn't care for the GROK version but I really like the KLING version. So I guess what I have is an image generated in KLING but sold to me thru Invideo. Hadn't heard about them. Here's their website. https://kling3.io/ Lastly could somebody please look in on Mike G. Just make sure he seems OK and check the area for any sharp objects. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted Thursday at 06:04 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:04 AM A.I. / LLM Good RENDERING Prompts Here you go, straight from the horse's mouth. Question posed to ChatGPT: "How to structure a prompt to get the best image?" (It turns out that the order in which you address the elements is crucial to getting the best results.) Response: (scroll all the way to the bottom for a quick, good overall prompt template) A strong image prompt usually has 5 parts, in this order: Subject — what the image is about Environment — where it takes place Composition / Camera — framing, angle, lens, distance Style / Lighting — cinematic, photorealistic, painterly, etc. Constraints — what must NOT change or appear A reliable formula looks like this: [Subject] in [environment], shot as [camera/composition], with [lighting + mood + style], showing [specific actions/details], while maintaining [important constraints]. Example Structure Basic Prompt A mechanic working on a vintage truck inside a clean modern garage, wide-angle shot from eye level, warm cinematic lighting, photorealistic detail, realistic tools and grease marks, shallow depth of field. Better Prompt = More Specific Compare: Weak A garage with mechanics. Strong Two mechanics servicing a lifted black pickup truck inside a high-end automotive workshop, polished concrete floors, organized tool chests, hydraulic lift visible, photographed with a 35mm lens at eye level, realistic fluorescent overhead lighting mixed with warm sunlight from the open bay door, ultra-photorealistic textures, cinematic color grading. The Most Important Sections 1. SUBJECT Be extremely clear about: Who or what How many Appearance Action Example A young woman in a red evening dress opening double front doors and smiling warmly. 2. ENVIRONMENT Describe: Location Time of day Weather Background objects Example Upscale suburban home at night with warm interior lighting and stone entryway. 3. CAMERA / COMPOSITION This dramatically improves results. Useful terms: Camera Angle eye level low angle overhead close-up medium shot wide shot Lens Style 24mm = dramatic/wide 35mm = cinematic natural 50mm = realistic portrait 85mm = compressed portrait look Composition centered composition symmetrical framing shallow depth of field background blur locked-off camera Visual Examples of Camera Styles Wide Cinematic Portrait / Close Detail 4. LIGHTING & STYLE Lighting is often the difference between “AI-looking” and believable. Useful styles: photorealistic cinematic ultra-detailed documentary style natural lighting soft ambient light moody shadows golden hour overcast realism Example Soft warm practical lighting with realistic shadow falloff and cinematic contrast. 5. CONSTRAINTS (VERY IMPORTANT) This is where you control the AI. Examples: Do not alter image dimensions Maintain original framing No extra people Keep camera static Preserve architecture No text or watermark Keep proportions realistic This prevents the model from “getting creative” in bad ways. Best Professional Prompt Format This format works extremely well for photorealistic results: Create a photorealistic image of [subject] in [environment]. Camera is [composition/lens/angle]. Lighting is [lighting description]. Include [important details]. Maintain [constraints]. No [undesired elements]. Example Using Your Style of Projects Create a photorealistic image of a luxury residential front entrance at night. A young woman is opening one of the double front doors and smiling warmly toward the camera as if greeting a guest. Camera remains locked-off and centered with symmetrical composition using a 35mm cinematic lens. Warm interior lighting spills naturally onto the porch while exterior lighting remains soft and realistic. Maintain the exact architecture and framing of the original image. No additional people, no text, no exaggerated AI features, no camera distortion. Advanced Trick: Priority Order The AI pays more attention to: Early prompt text Repeated concepts Concrete details Visual language So: Put critical requirements FIRST Put restrictions LAST Repeat important concepts once Excellent Keywords for Realism These often improve quality: photorealistic cinematic natural skin texture realistic lighting physically accurate detailed textures shallow depth of field film still realistic proportions HDR photography documentary realism Things That Commonly Ruin Images Avoid vague phrases like: “make it cool” “awesome” “beautiful” Avoid contradictory terms: “dark bright lighting” “cartoon photorealistic” Avoid overload: Too many subjects Too many actions Too many styles at once One of the Best Overall Prompt Templates Create a photorealistic cinematic image of [main subject] in [environment]. Shot with a [lens] from [camera angle]. Lighting is [lighting style]. The subject is [action/expression]. Include [important environmental details]. Maintain [composition/constraints]. No [undesired elements]. That structure alone will improve image quality dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted Thursday at 06:39 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:39 AM If you want to dig a little deeper look into stage-aware prompting. Question posed to ChatGPT: What is stage-aware prompting? Stage-aware prompting is a technique where you build an image or video prompt in layers (stages) instead of trying to force everything into one giant instruction. Rather than saying everything at once, you guide the model through: Foundation Composition Details Motion / emotion Refinement It works especially well for: photorealistic images cinematic scenes consistent characters image-to-video generation multi-step editing Why It Works AI models often fail when prompts contain: too many priorities conflicting instructions action + style + camera + environment all competing equally Stage-aware prompting fixes this by: establishing the scene FIRST then layering complexity then refining only specific elements This produces: more stable compositions fewer hallucinations better realism more consistent lighting and anatomy Think of It Like Filmmaking A director does not say: “Make an emotional cinematic masterpiece with realistic lighting and movement and perfect composition and…” Instead they build: Set Camera Lighting Actor blocking Performance Final polish Stage-aware prompting does the same thing. The 5 Core Stages Stage 1 — Foundation Establish ONLY: subject environment overall realism/style Do NOT overload this stage. Example Photorealistic upscale home entrance at night with symmetrical architecture and warm interior lighting. Stage 2 — Composition & Camera Now define: framing angle lens shot type camera behavior Example Locked-off camera, eye-level medium-wide shot using a 35mm cinematic lens. Symmetrical composition maintained throughout. Stage 3 — Subject Action Now add: motion pose expressions interaction Example A young woman slowly opens the right-side front door, smiles warmly, and gestures invitingly toward the viewer. Stage 4 — Secondary Detail Layer Now refine: textures realism lighting nuance physical accuracy Example Realistic skin texture, natural hand motion, physically accurate door movement, subtle cloth motion, cinematic shadow falloff. Stage 5 — Constraints & Protection This stage is CRITICAL. Prevent the AI from drifting. Example Do not change the architecture, camera angle, framing, or lighting design. No extra people, no text, no exaggerated facial features. Example: Single Giant Prompt vs Stage-Aware Weak (everything mixed together) A cinematic photorealistic woman opening a door smiling with warm lighting realistic shadows realistic motion symmetrical composition luxury home… This confuses priority. Strong (stage-aware) Stage 1 Photorealistic luxury home entrance at night. Stage 2 Locked-off symmetrical medium-wide shot with a 35mm lens. Stage 3 A young woman opens the front door and smiles warmly at the visitor. Stage 4 Natural body movement, realistic lighting spill, subtle shadow transitions. Stage 5 Maintain exact framing and architecture. No additional characters or camera movement. The model now understands: what matters first what is secondary what must never change Stage-Aware Prompting for IMAGE GENERATION Excellent structure: Stage 1 — Scene Modern luxury garage interior. Stage 2 — Composition Wide-angle eye-level shot. Stage 3 — Main Action Two mechanics work on a lifted black truck. Stage 4 — Realism Natural fluorescent lighting with detailed tools and realistic grease textures. Stage 5 — Constraints Maintain original room dimensions and wall spacing. Stage-Aware Prompting for VIDEO This becomes even more powerful. Because video models struggle with: motion consistency camera stability identity drift object permanence Video Prompt Staging Example Stage 1 — Scene Front porch of an upscale home at night. Stage 2 — Camera Camera remains completely static and centered. Stage 3 — Initial State Both front doors are closed. Stage 4 — Action Sequence The woman opens the door, smiles, waves, and gestures inside. Stage 5 — Motion Quality Realistic hand motion and accurate hinge physics. Stage 6 — Constraints No camera movement, no cuts, no additional people. Advanced Stage-Aware Technique: “Anchor → Motion → Protection” This is one of the strongest modern structures. 1. Anchor Lock the visual world. Symmetrical luxury entryway at night with warm lighting. 2. Motion Introduce only the animation. Woman opens the door and waves naturally. 3. Protection Prevent corruption. Camera remains static. Architecture unchanged. No object warping. Another Advanced Trick: Hierarchical Priority Prompting Use wording that signals importance. High Priority must exact maintain locked-off Medium Priority should preferably Low Priority optional subtle Example: Camera must remain static. Architecture must remain unchanged. Lighting should remain warm and realistic. Subtle ambient movement is acceptable. This teaches the model priority. Visual Style References That Pair Well with Stage-Aware Prompting Cinematic Realism Controlled Motion / Human Action The Biggest Benefit Stage-aware prompting reduces: melted hands drifting faces warped architecture random extra objects unstable motion inconsistent lighting because the AI receives information in a structured hierarchy instead of chaotic prose. Best General Template Stage 1 — Environment Stage 2 — Camera Stage 3 — Subject Stage 4 — Action Stage 5 — Realism Stage 6 — Constraints This is one of the best professional-level prompting methods for image and video generation today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
