What makes a good Y2K video prompt
Strong Y2K video prompts name the cinematography explicitly: chrome textures rotating, frosted-glass bubbles popping, holographic butterfly motifs fluttering, low-rise denim swaying, frosted-tip hair, pre-iPhone naive futurism. 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 Y2K cinematography.
