The prompt

259 chars
Cinematic wide shot of a rainy Tokyo street at night, neon reflections on wet asphalt, 35mm anamorphic lens, shallow depth of field on foreground figures, volumetric fog, blade runner aesthetic, deep teal and amber color grade, film grain, 2.35:1 aspect ratio

Why it works

  • 'Anamorphic lens' and '2.35:1' put the model in cinema mode rather than stills photography.
  • Specific color grade ('teal and amber') establishes the tonal palette explicitly.
  • 'Volumetric fog' is the single strongest atmospheric modifier for cinematic look.
  • 'Neon reflections on wet asphalt' is a well-learned phrase in diffusion training data (ubiquitous in cyberpunk imagery).

Variations to try

  • Daytime variant
    Replace 'rainy Tokyo street at night, neon reflections' with 'sunlit Lisbon alley at noon, sharp shadows'.
  • Western style
    Replace 'Tokyo' and 'blade runner aesthetic' with 'New York' and 'Gordon Willis cinematography'.
  • 16:9 aspect
    Replace '2.35:1' with '16:9' for a video-friendly ratio.

FAQs

Can I use this prompt for a video generation?
Yes — feed this prompt to Veo 3 or Sora 2. For video, add a camera motion term ('slow dolly in', 'handheld tracking') to specify movement.
