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 A cinematic 30-second tropical travel vlog montage featuring a beautiful 20-year-old East Asian woman with dark hair exploring Hawaii during a dreamy summer vacation. Shot like an authentic luxury travel diary with handheld camera movement, candid moments, soft golden-hour sunlight, dreamy 35mm film aesthetics, warm vintage color grading, shallow depth of field, natural skin texture, atmospheric lighting, and cinematic storytelling. Maintain the same woman throughout every scene: dark hair, youthful appearance, natural makeup, elegant summer outfits, relaxed happy expression. Format: 4K cinematic video, 24fps, 35mm film grain, realistic handheld camera, soft focus, warm color palette, travel documentary style. Scene 1 (0-4s) — Arrival & City Walk: A beautiful Hawaiian morning. The woman walks through a bright tropical city street wearing a flowing floral summer dress and sunglasses. Palm trees line the sidewalk, sunlight reflects off colorful buildings, people walk casually in the background. Camera follows from behind, then transitions into a close-up of her smiling face as wind moves through her hair. Scene 2 (4-8s) — Beach Discovery: She steps onto a wide sandy beach with crystal blue ocean waves behind her. She walks barefoot along the shoreline, holding her dress slightly as waves touch her feet. Low-angle cinematic shots of footsteps in wet sand, ocean reflections, distant volcanic mountains under a clear sky. Scene 3 (8-12s) — Tropical Nature Moments: A cinematic worm's-eye view looking upward through towering palm trees. Golden sunlight streams between the leaves with beautiful lens flares. Cut to a close-up of her standing near a rocky ocean cliff, wind blowing through her hair while she looks peacefully toward the sea. Scene 4 (12-16s) — Beachfront Cafe & Slow Living: She sits alone at a cozy beachfront cafe near the window, drinking a tropical drink while watching waves outside. Soft sunlight enters through the glass. Close-up shots of her hands, coffee cup, ocean view, and thoughtful expression create an intimate travel diary feeling. Scene 5 (16-20s) — Ocean Adventure: She floats peacefully on a surfboard in calm turquoise ocean water. Camera moves around her from water level, showing gentle waves, sunlight sparkling on the sea surface, tropical coastline and mountains in the distance. She laughs naturally while looking toward the camera. Scene 6 (20-24s) — Night Market Exploration: A vibrant Hawaiian night market filled with warm lights, food stalls, and colorful decorations. She walks through the crowd, trying tropical fruit skewers and local street food. Cinematic close-ups of her reaction, glowing lanterns, neon bokeh, and bustling atmosphere. Scene 7 (24-27s) — Golden Sunset Ending: Wide cinematic silhouette shot of her standing on the ocean shore during sunset. Orange and pink skies reflect on the water. Waves gently move around her feet as she watches the sun disappear behind the horizon. Emotional travel film ending. Scene 8 (27-30s) — Hotel Night Reflection: Nighttime high-rise hotel balcony overlooking sparkling tropical city lights. She wears a simple white dress, leaning against the balcony while a warm breeze moves the curtains behind her. Final intimate close-up of her lying on the hotel bed, looking warmly into the camera lens with a peaceful smile. Camera Style: Authentic travel vlog cinematography, handheld camera shake, smooth cinematic transitions, slow push-ins, natural movement, occasional POV shots, realistic autofocus adjustments, subtle motion blur. Visual Style: Dreamy Hawaii vacation film, luxury travel advertisement aesthetic, soft golden sunlight, realistic skin texture, cinematic depth of field, nostalgic 35mm film look, warm atmospheric colors, natural expressions, emotional storytelling. Avoid: cartoon style, CGI look, plastic skin, unrealistic face, inconsistent character appearance, changing hairstyle, extra fingers, distorted body, artificial lighting, oversaturated colors, blurry face, unnatural movements, duplicate people. ``` ## What it looks like Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.
