Handheld Diwali Documentary Take
────────────────────────────────

PROMPT
Handheld 6-second documentary shot. Subject: rows of clay diyas. Location: a rangoli-covered doorstep at dusk. Camera: loose handheld framing with gentle organic sway, operator breathing visible in the movement, slight reframe as the subject shifts. Lighting: available light only — radiant, no studio sources. Details: flame reflections on marigold petals, dust and air movement caught in the light. Motion: the subject continues an action already in progress rather than starting one. Grade: natural colour, mild contrast, a touch of grain. 24fps, 35mm equivalent, single take, no cuts, no text.

NEGATIVE PROMPT
electric lights instead of oil flames, garbled rangoli symmetry, plastic marigolds, cold colour temperature, cluttered frame, tripod-smooth motion, jitter, warping faces, morphing hands, flickering, text overlays, watermark, sudden zoom, duplicated limbs, melting background, frame stutter

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
Runway Gen-3: 6s, motion 2, image-to-video from your best still
Kling: Standard mode, 5s, creativity 0.5
Veo: 6s, documentary preset
Handheld reads as real — resist the urge to stabilise in post.

For this subject: Expose for the flames and let everything else fall away; low-key is what makes diyas glow.

CAPTION
Handheld, available light, nothing staged.

Say "action already in progress" — a subject starting a movement is where AI video warps.
