The Prompt

Copied word for word from the creator's post. It asks for a 9:16 vertical clip at 24 fps with one slow push in along the trail. The post does not name the video model used.

Prompt
Create a breathtaking, photorealistic futuristic alien landscape featuring a gigantic tree-like architectural structure standing alone in a vast red desert beneath a deep black night sky. The structure resembles a magnificent futuristic tree, with a thick central metallic trunk branching into multiple elevated platforms, each supporting elegant traditional Asian-inspired pagoda houses. Every house glows with vibrant neon pink and warm magenta lights, creating a surreal contrast against the dark surroundings.

Begin with a wide establishing shot of the barren crimson desert, covered in reddish sand, scattered rocks, and sparse desert shrubs. A narrow winding trail leads toward the enormous glowing architectural tree in the distance. Slowly move the camera forward along the trail, revealing the intricate futuristic branches, towering columns, floating-looking platforms, and illuminated pagoda rooftops.

As the camera approaches, capture the glowing pink windows, detailed metallic support structures, layered traditional roofs, and subtle reflections of neon light on the surrounding red terrain. Add a gentle cinematic camera push-in, slight atmospheric haze, distant rocky mountains, realistic shadows, and a mysterious extraterrestrial atmosphere.

Use a dramatic low-angle perspective, ultra-detailed architecture, realistic desert textures, cinematic composition, volumetric neon lighting, deep blacks, crimson and magenta color grading, smooth camera motion, photorealistic CGI, science-fiction concept art realism, 4K detail, vertical 9:16 format, 24 fps.

Keep the architectural structure consistent throughout the entire video. No people, no extra buildings, no distorted geometry, no flickering lights, no text, no subtitles, no watermark.

Prompt
Cat cabbie video prompt. Image or text to video, multi-shot, about 18 seconds, 3:4 vertical. Photorealistic, handheld street footage look, natural daylight, Manhattan. No captions, no dialogue, no voiceover. Audio: hard phonk beat, engine revs, tire screeches, city horns, cat meows.

Shot 1 (0 to 3s)
Framing: medium shot, eye level, sidewalk
Movement: slow push in
Content: a huge, serious, bald bearded man in a white tee and black shorts checks his phone on a SoHo sidewalk. A tiny toy-sized yellow taxi with a checkered stripe and a TAXI roof sign pulls up beside him. Behind the wheel sits a realistic fluffy cat in a yellow cabbie vest and cap.

Shot 2 (3 to 6s)
Framing: wide shot, low angle
Movement: static

Shot 3 (6 to 10s)

Movement: fast follow, camera low to the asphalt
Content: the cat floors it. The toy taxi rockets down a busy avenue, weaving between yellow cabs, the man bracing with one hand, tire smoke behind them.

Shot 4 (10 to 13s)
Framing: close-up from the street, low angle

Movement: static
Content: the taxi screeches to a stop at the curb. The cat turns to the man, opens its mouth and meows for the fare, one paw raised.

Shot 6 (16 to 18s)
Framing: close-up
Movement: slow push in
Content: the man pulls out a squeeze-tube cat treat and holds it out. The cat licks it happily. He climbs out and walks away without a word as the cat keeps licking.
