# Dragon rider above a stormy coast > A rider’s-eye fantasy journey on a black-and-crimson dragon, from grassy coastal cliffs through sea stacks and underwater darkness to a misty ocean vista.

This is the complete prompt exactly as the creator published it. ## Before you start Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions. 1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present. 2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized. 3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed. 4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting. 5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use. ## Recreating this video These are the creator's published instructions, unedited. ## Prompt ```text Create a 30-second vertical 9:16, 24fps, 8K-quality photorealistic live-action fantasy sequence from a first-person rider POV. A massive original obsidian-crimson dragon with individually detailed scales, subtle dark mottling, molten-gold eyes, volcanic-black swept-back horns, blade-like dorsal fins, burgundy-red translucent wings and faint ember-like fissures across its body. Rider wears black leather gloves, dark-green sleeves and weathered leather bracers, holding heavy chain reins from a worn brown studded saddle. Begin with the dragon calmly breathing on a wet emerald coastal cliff; it slowly turns toward camera and the rider gently pets its neck. Suddenly it lowers its body, launches across the grass and leaps from the cliff. Dive steeply toward the grey-green ocean, deploy huge wings with realistic membrane movement, then skim just above the water with spray hitting the lens. Perform a dramatic high-speed bank around a sea stack, then plunge directly underwater. Brief dark-teal underwater silence with bubbles and faint crimson glow, followed by a powerful eruption through the ocean. Finish with a calm glide above foggy water as the dragon slowly turns and looks toward the rider. Use physically accurate anatomy, weight, gravity, wing aerodynamics, water physics, scale deformation, wind and environmental interaction. Natural rider-mounted camera movement, realistic motion blur, lens droplets, focus breathing, subtle handheld vibration, cinematic depth of field, soft overcast lighting, HDR, restrained film grain and natural cinematic color grading. Audio: atmospheric drone → intimate cello → rising orchestral tension → massive launch/flight score → intense percussion during the bank → muffled underwater audio → epic orchestral return during emergence → soft cello/piano ending. Layer detailed ASMR/SFX: dragon breathing, scales, leather, reins, claws scraping soil, wind, wingbeats, water spray, bubbles, ocean impact and a deep natural dragon roar. Make it indistinguishable from expensive real live-action cinema. No AI look, cartoon, anime, game CGI, plastic textures, fake physics, neon glow, oversaturation, distorted anatomy, extra limbs, text or watermark. ``` ## What it looks like Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator. A first-person view of a rider on a dark, spined dragon with glowing ember-like cracks, above a rugged coast and ocean. - Color: Muted charcoal, slate gray, and blue-green, punctuated by orange-red glow; the underwater frame shifts to deep teal. - Type: Cinematic, realistic-looking 3D fantasy artwork with dramatic overcast lighting. - Framing: The dragon’s long neck and ridged back dominate the foreground, with gloved hands and a saddle visible at the bottom. Cliffs, sea, and cloudy sky form the background. - Structure: The frames depict the dragon against a rocky shoreline, over open water, underwater, and back above the sea amid spray.
