What makes a good Sci-Fi video prompt
Strong Sci-Fi video prompts name the cinematography explicitly: massive spaceships, alien skies with double suns, sleek hovercraft, bio-mechanical interiors, atmospheric backlight, anamorphic lens flare. 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 Sci-Fi cinematography.
