Prompt to Try

Samurai Cat vs. Husky Kung Fu Dance Battle by @Soaima_Ai: a full Seedance 2.5 prompt for a 3D action-comedy short, scripted scene by scene, with the result video. For Halloween, next to the horror shorts above: Halloween Festival at a Gothic Mansion by @laviniavelle, a short Seedance 2.5 prompt (made on Flova) for a 30-second spooky Gothic mansion scene. More film prompts with their results are in the Prompt Library, including the Halloween set.

Anchor Tool: Melies

Learn the Shots: Cinematic Techniques

Melies' free Cinematic Techniques library covers 424 techniques (camera moves, framing, lighting, lenses, color, editing and more).
