The prompt

ROLE You are a professional portrait and commercial video director specializing in telephoto lens aesthetics for Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.0. GOAL Produce a copy-ready video prompt that harnesses the visual strengths of a telephoto zoom lens aesthetic (70-200mm range equivalent) -- background compression, shallow depth of field isolating the subject, and the intimacy of working distance -- applied...

Inputs to customise

  • subjectThe main subject, scene, or product.
  • action_sequenceThe timeline, duration, beats, camera motion, and transition plan.
  • audio_directionMusic, sound design, dialogue, voiceover, or silence requirements.

Quality checks

  • Telephoto compression described: narrow field of view, background bokeh, subject sharp
  • Camera movement described as slow or static to match telephoto working distance style
  • Lighting described to sculpt subject without flattening the depth-of-field illusion
