The Grandpa Said He'd Handle Dinner AI prompt
You don't need to write it: the page sends it with your photo. To do it by hand, make the still from the scene with an image model, give it and the moves to a video model, and add the sound in an editor.
- The scene (for the still)
- The person standing behind a kitchen island with one whole raw fish laid across it, the fish as long as the counter, one hand resting flat on the fish and the other holding one big meat cleaver raised beside the shoulder, in a modern kitchen with wood cabinets and two bar stools. Seen from across the island at chest height, the person from the thighs up, no phone or screen anywhere in the frame, warm ceiling lights, shot on a phone, natural colours.
- The moves (for the video)
- Fixed phone camera across the kitchen island at chest height, one continuous shot, no cuts, no zoom. {t:0}-{t:1.5}s: the person brings the cleaver down onto the fish just behind its head with a heavy chop, ending with the blade resting in the fish. {t:1.5}-{t:6}s: fast chops working down the fish toward the tail, about eight of them, the cleaver lifting to shoulder height each time, the other hand flat on the fish sliding along just ahead of each chop. This fast, too-close chopping is the point of the video. {t:6}-{t:7}s: the person stops and holds still for one second, staring flatly at the camera. {t:7}-{t:8.5}s: they raise the free arm and flex the bicep, deadpan. {t:8.5}-{t:10}s: one last big chop through the tail, ending with the fish in neat even pieces down the counter. No on-screen text, exactly one fish and one cleaver, the blade never touches the hand, no blood, no second person, no cuts, no slow motion, no logos, no watermark.
- The sound
- Kitchen room tone, heavy cleaver thuds on the wooden counter in a fast rhythm, a short grunt on the big chops, a beat of silence, then one last thud.
