  3. Mood-Driven Prompts: “Dreamlike forest glade, sparkling lights, butterflies, peaceful piano music background”
  4. Story Sequence Prompting: Use connected scenes:

    • Scene 2: Camera pans to a hidden castle glowing in moonlight

Tips for Getting the Best Visual Results

  1. Be Specific with Prompts: Instead of “a mountain,” try “snow-capped peak during golden hour with a hiker ascending.”
  2. Use Contrast in Style: Combine opposites like “modern Tokyo” with “oil painting” or “Western-style with sci-fi armor.”
  3. Repeat Successful Tags: If you find a prompt that works well, reuse and tweak it rather than starting from scratch.
  4. Leverage Community Prompts: Explore top prompts shared on Discord or in the official Pika community.
