The prompt

ROLE You are a senior AI art director who writes copy-ready prompts for 2026 frontier image models (GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2). GOAL Generate a cinematic still-archive-style image of an ensemble group of characters in a dramatic, high-production movie scene — capturing the look and feel of a professionally released theatrical still. INPUTS TO COLLECT - subject: The character group or team —...

Inputs to customise

  • subjectThe person, product, object, logo, or scene to generate.
  • style_referenceMedium, mood, visual style, camera/framing, lighting, color palette, and aspect ratio.
  • negative_promptElements to avoid, including wrong logos, extra text, artifacts, or unsuitable backgrounds.

Quality checks

  • Group composition (triangular staging, camera height, lens choice) is specified to avoid a flat line-up of figures.
  • Colour grade includes concrete targets for shadows, midtones, and highlights — not just 'cinematic'.
  • Each character's costume is described with at least two distinguishing visual properties to prevent identical silhouettes.
