Raindance AI Trend Prompt

The main prompt (golden hour)

Use your photo as the first frame or reference image, then paste this prompt. Keep the aspect ratio at 9:16 and the length at 7 seconds.

Cinematic music-video shot of the same person from the photo, sitting at the very edge of an old wooden pier above a calm open sea at golden hour. Warm low sun behind them, soft rim light on hair and shoulders, gentle sea breeze moving their clothes. The video opens on the still photo, then a hard cut, no fade, to the pier. Slow push-in, 35mm film look, shallow depth of field. They sing slowly and softly straight into the lens. No other people in frame. Vertical 9:16, 7 seconds.

Two more scenes

Cinematic music-video shot of the same person from the photo, sitting at the very edge of an old wooden pier in light summer rain. Overcast silver sky, wet glossy boards, fine raindrops catching the light, calm grey sea. The video opens on the still photo, then a hard cut, no fade, to the pier. Slow push-in, 35mm film look. They sing slowly into the lens while rain falls softly. No other people in frame. Vertical 9:16, 7 seconds.

Cinematic music-video shot of the same person from the photo, at an outdoor evening reception by the water, warm string lights glowing overhead, soft bokeh, deep blue dusk sky with a last band of pink at the horizon. The video opens on the still photo, then a hard cut, no fade. Slow handheld push-in, 35mm film look, warm tones. They sing slowly into the lens. Vertical 9:16, 7 seconds.

Duet prompt

For couples or friends, give the model both photos as reference images and name who is where. The duet works best with reception lights or golden hour.

Cinematic music-video shot of the two people from the reference photos sitting side by side at the edge of an old wooden pier at golden hour. Person one sits on the left, person two on the right. They take turns singing slowly to the camera, then lean in and smile at each other. Slow push-in, 35mm film look, warm low sun. No other people. Vertical 9:16, 7 seconds.

Why each part of the prompt matters

• "The same person from the photo" keeps the model from inventing a new face.
• "Hard cut, no fade" is the signature of the trend. Without it most models cross-fade.
• "Sitting at the very edge of an old wooden pier" sets the framing everyone recognises.
• "Slow push-in" and "35mm film look" give the music-video feel instead of a phone video.
• "Sing slowly into the lens" keeps mouth movement soft, so it does not look out of sync with the song.
• "No other people" stops background extras from appearing and stealing focus.

Common mistakes

• Using a group photo or a far-away shot. The face drifts and may not look like you.
• Leaving the aspect ratio at 16:9. TikTok will crop your face.
• Asking for lip sync to the lyrics. Current models cannot match the words and it looks worse.
• Adding the song in the generator. Add it in TikTok so the music is licensed.
