What makes a good Minimal video prompt
Strong Minimal video prompts name the cinematography explicitly: huge negative space, single focal subject, limited color palette, calm steady pacing, gallery-loop sensibility. The camera move (push, dolly, orbit, lock-off), lighting condition, and slow-motion frame rate are what separates a generic AI clip from a result that feels like real Minimal cinematography.

Remix this by changing one element at a time: time of day, camera move, lighting condition, subject action. Single-axis variation keeps the output coherent across runs.
