Handheld Long Exposure Documentary Take
───────────────────────────────────────

PROMPT
Handheld 6-second documentary shot. Subject: a static subject amid moving elements. Location: a scene with continuous motion. Camera: loose handheld framing with gentle organic sway, operator breathing visible in the movement, slight reframe as the subject shifts. Lighting: available light only — contemplative, no studio sources. Details: silky motion trails against sharp anchors, 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
frozen motion, camera shake on static elements, blown highlights, uniform blur across the frame, missing sharp anchor, 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: Name the shutter speed ("30 seconds at f/11") so the amount of motion trail is predictable.

CAPTION
Handheld, available light, nothing staged.

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