The I Want Wings 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 sitting slouched at a cluttered desk in a dim bedroom, a gaming headset on over messy hair, seen in profile from the side, looking at a computer screen out of frame, tired and plain; only a keyboard, a mug and tissues on the desk, no phone anywhere in the picture. Phone at desk height a little to the side, the person from the chest up, dull lamp light, shot on a phone, natural colours.
- The moves (for the video)
- Phone video in two shots with one hard cut. {t:0}-{t:3}s: the person sits slouched in profile at the desk, blinking slowly at the screen, plain and tired. On-screen text in the middle: "Eww, squish it!". {t:3}-{t:4.5}s: the person slowly turns their head to the camera, serious and unsmiling. On-screen text: "I want wings." {t:4.5}-{t:5}s: hard cut. This cut to the glow-up is the point of the video. {t:5}-{t:8}s: the same person at a night party with colourful lights, hair styled, in a sharp black button-up shirt, looking cool and calm at the camera while one large blue butterfly flutters down and lands on their shoulder. On-screen text: "Be gentle". {t:8}-{t:10}s: they give a small confident smile, ending on that look with the butterfly on the shoulder. All on-screen text in white letters, spelled exactly as written. No second person in focus, exactly one butterfly, no extra hands, no slow motion, no logos, no watermark.
- The sound
- Quiet bedroom hum and a computer fan, then at the cut a low, dreamy synth beat with soft party noise in the background, no vocals.
