Handheld Formal Wear Documentary Take
─────────────────────────────────────

PROMPT
Handheld 6-second documentary shot. Subject: a figure in evening formalwear. Location: a marble lobby at night. Camera: loose handheld framing with gentle organic sway, operator breathing visible in the movement, slight reframe as the subject shifts. Lighting: available light only — elegant, no studio sources. Details: tailoring lines and fabric sheen, 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
poor tailoring fit, wrong lapel shape, warped bow tie, creased fabric, mismatched button stance, cheap sheen, 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: Controlled hard light shows the cloth structure; soft light makes a suit look like a costume.

CAPTION
Handheld, available light, nothing staged.

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